Chuba Hubbard First Take–June 18th

Here’s what stands out the most to me so far in all of this. Chuba’s teammates stood with him when he made his intial complaints in regards to Mike Gundy. To my knowledge–not one current player defended Mike Gundy.

Additionally…not one past O State player under Gundy has come forward and taken on Chuba Hubbard and his claims.

If you listen to this interview carefully it could be possible Hubbard is simply asserting Mike Gundy is more of a clueless dumbass than a malicious racist. That’s what I think I heard in this interview on First Take.

If this is O State and Gundy’s defense then I’m not really sure what to think of these people at O State. Are you kidding?

I would think that after fifteen years of being a DI head coach in a Power 5 conference that Mike Gundy would be beyond the clueless dumbass phase of his career. I would think a coach who has recruited black athletes heavily in the rough areas of Houston would be way more hip than this.

What I’m saying is I don’t believe Mike Gundy. I don’t think he’s this stupid and I don’t believe it when he says he wasn’t aware of the extreme content on OAN.

This is a guy who still has three years on his contract and $16 million owed to him by Oklahoma State University. In Gundy’s mind this is probably Travis Ford inequity recompensation money

I’ll stick to what I wrote originally. Gundy assumed no one in Oklahoma would make a big deal of this because in essence his school is one which has great rural support and I would guess Trump probably garners around 80% support from O State people regardless of what he does. I just think Gundy miscalulated the national response would be this fervent.

I have no idea whatsover why urban blacks would want to attend Oklahoma State. Why would a black person go to this school? For Eddie Sutton…yes. Otherwise…no.

Pat Jones talked of this the other day. Of how hard its always been at O State to attract elite black recruits to Stillwater way before Mike Gundy put on the OAN T-shirt.

I think it’s very naive of Chuba Hubbard to think he’s going to educate or change Mike Gundy at this point. Mike Gundy is in damage control and simply wants to monetize the next three years on his contract would be my First Take.

Hope I’m wrong.

Several years ago at OU they had the situation with white fraternity kids who were caught singing racists songs on buses. Boren and Stoops closed them down immediately. Bob Stoops marched with the black players. What he didn’t do was wear one of the fraternity’s shirts.

This is the problem I have with Mike Gundy. If the totality of his defense is he’s a cluless dumbass…he shouldn’t be making $5.25 million per year and be the face of a major university.

That’s the problem I have.

Mike Gundy…put that mullet in a bun. You’re fired, buddy….at least on this little blog in Deer Creek.
