Barry Switzer has the power to predict the future – or at least he thinks he does.
Switzer, a Hall of Fame coach, who is best known for his time at Oklahoma, posted a tweet congratulating current Oklahoma coach on his win against Iowa State.
Only one problem with that, the game has yet to be played.
Since everyone beats ISU at home, I want to be the first to congratulate @OU_CoachStoops on tying the record of 157 wins! #coachescabana

The Sooners and Cyclones meet at noon ET on Saturday, but that doesn’t matter to Switzer, who wanted to get a head start on congratulating Stoops on tying his record for wins as an Oklahoma coach. Switzer’s career record with the Sooners was 157-29-4 and Stoops has 156 wins heading into the Iowa State game.
Of course, Iowa State has struggled this season. The Cyclones are 1-8 after a pair of 6-7 seasons.
So, Switzer’s prediction isn’t exactly bold. Or perhaps he’s just trolling and trying to provide bulletin board material for the Cyclones? You know, so he can hold on to his record just a little longer.
