Earlier this week, something called The Action Network reported the obvious news that the Bedlam football "rivalry" – term used loosely – will end when OU joins the financially lucrative and more competitive waters of the SEC in the next couple of years or so.
Even though anyone with common sense knew that was going to happen, the report made the rounds on message boards, Twitter, and sports radio, thanks to comments by OU and OSU's athletic directors that tried to casually place blame on the other side for the dissolution of the extremely non-competitive and one-sided rivalry.
I guess this made Mike Gundy salty, so in the week media outlets from all across the country celebrated the 15th anniversary of his 40-year-old man rant, he stood in front of reporters to deliver a more subdued and meandering statement on the matter.

First of all, I like how Mike Gundy always looks like he just finished a poker run at an Oklahoma lake whenever he addresses the media.
Second, when someone says "No hard feelings" multiple times in a rambling statement while whining about how their big brother abandoned them for a richer and better family, I'm pretty sure that means there are lots and lots and lots of "hard feelings."
