• Did Gundy’s boner in the Bedlam game cost him Big 12 Coach Of The Year?

  You have to think that, if Oklahoma State had beaten Oklahoma last Saturday, Mike Gundy would have won Big 12 Coach Of The Year. Now he has to settle for Best Hair. But the winner? Mack Brown? His team was pre-season top five and was favored in every game. Like that [...]

• Cotton Bowl: Battle of the dumb fatties

  Seeing as Oklahoma and Mississippi are continually ranked as the fattest, poorest, most illiterate states, this Freedom Tray should come in handy when all the fatties in blue and orange are shoving bratwurst down their gullets outside the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 2. This might be unpatriotic of me … but [...]

• Pokes to play Ole Miss in the Cotton Bowl. Well, not at the Cotton Bowl. But in Cotton Bowl

  Word around the campfire is Oklahoma State will be play Houston Nutt and Ole Miss in the Cotton Bowl. I know the pic above is when Nutt was the coach at Arkansas. But its still funny. I wonder if he tries to bang small market Mississippi anchors like he did [...]

• Gundy to Notre Dame rumors have yet to stick

  Even the college punks are wearing out Gundy. This guy Ryan Stewart set his bong atop his Dane Cook comedy albums long enough to bang out this column about Gundy in O’Colly. I hadn’t read this quote from Gundy until this column: “They had 11 games on tape and there wasn’t a [...]

• I knew it. Zac was hurt in Bedlam.

  So Zac Robinson was hurt on the first DRIVE during the Bedlam game. So that’s what all that limping was. Geez. I noticed it from the 52nd row. Why not give Weeden a CHANCE to get something going. I love Zac Robinson but a 100% Brandon Weeden gives you a [...]

• Cowboy offense like watching a fallen bird die

  I actually got to go to the Bedlam game Saturday. And watching the Cowboy offense sputter and flouder and drool out the side of its mouth felt like seeing someone you really liked and respected withering in a nursing home. The whole game was so hopeless. Not one third down conversion. [...]

• Gundy Brothers Hair Design Mini-Mall won’t open until brothers talk more

  During Mike Gundy’s press conference Monday, brother Cale called the Better Gundy’s cell phone (405-HAIR-GEL or 405-424-7435) – presumably – to wish him well on Saturday. Then Mike said that’s the first time he’s called in six months. That would definitely be weird competing against your brother; not only in one [...]

  I just filled my mother’s basement (my room) with bags of Tostitos. Hopefully the word of increased sales in the Oklahoma zip codes will lead the Fiesta Bowl committee to choose OSU for their bowl. Someone please wake John Klein and tell him that, if the Cowboys win Saturday, they are [...]

• Zac is a definite maybe for Thursday night, Vegas still loves Pokes

  Word around the campfire is Alex Cate has taken most of the first-team snaps in practice this week. Since practice is closed, no one (except Gundy) really knows for sure if Zac Robinson will play Thursday. In situations like this, I don’t mind the whole media freeze out. On a short [...]

  Will firing Kansas head coach Mark Mangino make the Jayhawks MORE or LESS likely to upset Texas on Saturday? A Kansas win is like what Princess Leia said about Obi Wan Kenobi: our only hope. Should the Jayhawks lose, I hope Todd Reesing throws an incomplete pass like the one above [...]

  Thank you Patrick Lavine for the Pick Six. Thank you Kendall Hunter for taking a few Advil and playing like the Kendall of old. Thank you Bill Young for being old. You probably wouldn’t have gotten the defensive coordinator position otherwise because Gundy wanted to hire someone long in the tooth that [...]

  Back in the days when Oklahoma State played in the Big 8, they’d play all those Texas dirt bags in non-conference games. So it was an event when the Cowboys would play a Texas A&M or Baylor. In 1988, the best year of Gundy’s life, Oklahoma State played Texas Tech … [...]

  I’ll be very disappointed if Kendall Hunter doesn’t play a few snaps on Saturday. According to everything I’ve read, he’s been cleared physically to play. Either he’s squeamish or frightened or doesn’t want to harm a potential NFL career. If its the latter, tell him to see other examples on [...]

  If there is a more sanctimonious, self-righteous group of bean counters and holy-roller outside of Vatican City than the NCAA, I don’t know who they are. Dez is suspended for one year because he told some crusty dork with a pocket protecter to mind his business. Way to show ‘em, NCAA. [...]
