Most interesting bits
McFarlands mother, Kashemeyia Adams, said she received numerous offers, including one for an interest-free loan for a former classmate, if her son were to choose Texas. She said she did not believe the offers were affiliated with the Texas football staff.
But the best summation of his experience might have come from a paper he wrote for his English class comparing Oklahoma and Texas. The paper, Red River Rivals Recruit, includes a description of a wild party hosted by Longhorns fans at an upscale hotel in Dallas after the Oklahoma-Texas game on Oct. 11.
I will never forget the excitement amongst all participants, McFarland wrote. Alcohol was all you can drink, money was not an option. Girls were acting wild by taking off their tops, and pulling down their pants. Girls were also romancing each other. Some guys loved every minute of the freakiness some girls demonstrated. I have never attended a party of this magnitude.
He continued: The attitude of the people at the party was that everyone should drink or not come to the party. Drugs were prevalent with no price attached.
He compared that with a house party hosted by a sorority at Oklahoma.
Drinks were plentiful, but not to the extent they were at the Dallas party, he wrote. Some people were tipsy, but in control of themselves.
He described the atmosphere as pleasant and added: Some people who attend the University of Oklahoma seem to represent different values than some people who attend the University of Texas.
That opulence did not touch what McFarland saw on a visit to U.S.C. the weekend after Thanksgiving. After beating Notre Dame, U.S.C. players rented a stretch Hummer and took him to a party. It worried Adams that her son might become enthralled with such luxury.
