Living here in Oklahoma, I guess I'm just kind of used to the football coaches at Ok State sounding a bit irrational from time to time. I mean, before he became LSU's Les Miles, he was OSU's Les Miles ranting about being willing "to play any sucker in this country."
Shoot - have you heard Pat Jones lately? He's nearly unintelligible!
Jones, the coach responsible for Gundy being an OSU legend, survived 6 straight losing seasons at the school and now makes his living in Oklahoma on the radio (what does that say for Okie sports radio?).
And of course, Jimmy Johnson had his moment, but with a different kind of Cowboy.
Living here in Tulsa, coverage of OSU is pretty thick. So when the leader of the Pokes goes a bit nutty, it's pretty wall-to-wall coverage.
It must be all that orange that eventually causes their internal filters to fail. Who knows. But when all the national sports coverage yaps about a local going crazy, it isn't a good thing.
I don't want to debate what was said or whether Gundy was justified or not. That's irrelevant to me.
I'm just annoyed that we get surprised when this happens in Stillwater anymore.
