NORMAN — When Brian Bosworth's book “The Boz: Confessions of a Modern Anti-Hero,” was released in 1988, his ties with Oklahoma ceased.
The legendary Sooners linebacker went into exile from the place where he transformed from Brian Bosworth, the recruit, to “The Boz,” one of the most outlandish personalities in college football history.
“For him to have severed all relationships present, past and future with the OU football program, I just wish it would not have happened,” legendary OU coach Barry Switzer said of Bosworth then.
The two-time Butkus Award winner and two-time consensus All-American linebacker remained separated from the Sooners for several years.
