Mike Gundy… Point, Counterpoint

Oh, boy. Mike Gundy had himself another little mini rant yesterday on OU and Texas. About them leaving the third tier football-wise Big 12 for the SEC.

I’m a Mike Gundy expert. Truly. I know thru a couple of sources who covered his beat all the stories going back to the recruitment of T-Boone’s oil gas bidness money.

I’ve even written a first draft of 90,000 words entiled Mullet King: The Boone Pickens-Mike Gundy College Football Saga. Netflix said no though. They have current cash flow problems and like their supervisor of new stories said to me, ” Mike, we’ve all seen Tiger King and know Oklahoma is the dumbest state in the Union. This guy doesn’t even have a consequential win on his career resume. Why would anyone outside of Oklahoma read this book?”

I still may try self-publication if Gundy ever notches a consequential win. If I could sell 25,000 to 50,000 books…maybe it would be worth it. I might call John Grisham and ask him what he thinks. He’s written a couple of sports books.

Back when Les Miles was head coach, Eddie Sutton and Harry Birdwell were the defacto ADs, and David Schmidley was the university prez is where this story starts. Throw in golf coach Mike Holder and you’d have yourself a story if Mike Gundy could just notch a few consequential wins.

Gundy went off yesterday about OU following Texas to the SEC for more money…which is somewhat true. Which btw is really a smart thing to do considering how tough it’s going to be moving forward economically from these past two seasosns of COVID and the ever changing face o college football.

What Mullet King didn’t mention is that Joe C is smart enough to keep the Red River Rivalry intact for the fertile recruitng in Texas and the fact the Dallas area provides OU with a significant source of students from Dallas who I believe are granted in state reciprocal tutition at OU.

Add to the fact OU-Texas is one of the premier rivalries in college football while Bedlam is a grotesquely one-sided series in which OU leads 90-17. That’s not a rivalry. That’s cruel and unusal punishment or internet bullying.

Mullett King a player, as an assistant coach of Les Miles is a putrid 5-22. If Big Game Bob hadn’t repunted to Tyreke ….Mullet King would be a collective 4-23 versus the Sooners.

Trust me on this as an OU fan…when we see Mike Gundy over there across the field we know all the numbers. We’ve seen that look on Mike Gundy’s face.

Ask Dave Aranda from Baylor about that look. Can anyone even in Payne County name a football coach who with seven tries from inside the Baylor one-yardline could choke to that extent in a conference championship game.

I have no idea why Gundy said these things on Tuesday. Anyone who’s ever played sports knows the truth. Gundy can’t beat OU unless Lincoln Riley is loading his assistants in a private jet in the fourth period of Bedlam headed to Los Angeles.

Another thing. If OU ever wants to win another national championship in football they’re going to have to recruit the South for defensive players like Georgia and Alabama put on the field every Saturday.

In closing what Gundy should have said was…”I can’t beat OU. The record speaks for itself. Even as a QB here I couldn’t beat them with Barry Sanders, Thurman Thomas, and Hart Lee Dykes. I just feel fortunate Mr. Pickens didn’t fire my ass for not beating OU more often after I pulled all that shit leveraging him with that Tennssee and Arkansas nonsense.”

The end.

I don’t rant anymore myself.

Have a nice day…Mullet King. Win a conference championship so I can sell 50,000 books.
