Barry Switzer takes a special interest in UNC's Ryan Switzer

Posted Dec 18, 2015
Ryan Switzer's father, Michael, was at Fruth Pharmacy in Charleston when his phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw it was an Oklahoma City number. He ignored it. The caller didn’t leave a voicemail, but the phone rang again moments later. Switzer became curious and was stunned to find a person with the same surname on the other end of the call. It was Barry Switzer. (Charleston Gazette-Mail)
