For a brief moment yesterday, right before OU announced John Mateer would miss a few games due to hand surgery, Oklahoma State stole the attention of the local sporting world after news came out that Mike Gundy was fired at age 58.
Mike Gundy spent more than half his life (35 of 58 years at OSU as a player, assistant or head coach). Before Gundy, OSU had 4 winning seasons in 16 years. Gundy had 18 straight winning seasons, 9th longest in NCAA history for a coach at 1 school. Good ride Cowboy, good ride https://t.co/kDIUMnpjGQ

Like most people, I have mixed feelings about Mike’s departure.
