  Tulsa Jeff Shannon admitted he was apprehensive at best in the lobby of the Sooner Legends and Inn in Norman,Oklahoma. His long time college buddy, “Scott From NJ”, either arranged the biggest coup since the Wishbone or the biggest disappointment since Billy Sims’ fumble on the Nebraska three yard line. Seems Scott had contacted and set up a meeting with legendary Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer and when Jeff told his friends at work they all laughed. “’Yeah,right’ I believe were their comments” said Shannon. So, when one of only two coaches in history who has won both a National Championship and a Super Bowl walked thru the front door, jaws dropped at a surreal moment in history. “I knew he would show,”claimed Scott.”He told me when we got off the plane to call him and I did”.
