MCH Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I'm liking Mike more and more each day. Gotta love a coach who stands up for his players like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Thats great. I still haven't seen the article that caused him to flip like that, but that little explosion is pretty funny anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Here's the article if it works. http://www.newsok.com/article/keyword/3131543/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Heck, that article has me teed off. That was one of the worst columns I have ever read. Twice in that article the writer refers to "heresay or grumblings" and she even starts a sentence with "Word is,...." That's absolutely freaking ridiculous. What kind of journalism is that? Talking about heresay, grumblings, and the word on the street is poor, poor journalism and does not represent fact in anyway. Not to mention she is definately on the war path after this guy. She's going out of her way to take shots at him. She's talking about how in her opinion it's pathetic that the guy's mom is feeding him chicken for dinner after practice one day. What does that have to do with anything? I'm on the coaches side with this one...for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 ...but the paper is standing by their girl--as well as the Sports Editor. I'll stand by my Coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Yeah, I read today's article. All they could keep saying was that Gundy wouldn't say which parts of the article were inaccurate. Why should he?? Looks pretty obvious to me. Like John said, not much "fact" in that article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says some of that in the video clip.... He says the transfering part was not true.... That lady is way wrong IMO. Way to go COACH Gundy!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfletch7441 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'm behind the coach 100%, but this was too funny not to post: Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Got that in an e-mail yesterday. Except mine was better. Instead of a microphone, Mike was holding a chicken leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 OK State will be pulling recruits in from all over the country for this. I agree completely with the coach. If the player was getting paid for what he does it would be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he not get a scholarship money which "PAYS" for his schooling???:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Does he not get a scholarship money which "PAYS" for his schooling???:confused: Yes i'm sure he is on scholarship (?), but still he is a college athlete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gt2003 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 It's about time the media get put in their place for stories/columns like that. There are a lot of good reporters/columnists out there and she is not one of them. I think its a good lesson for all media to see that not everyone will put up with their BS. Maybe if more people would react this way then the lesser writers/columnists wouldn't resort to the miserable tactics that she did. Go Mike, Go POKES!

OH I agree 100% with Coach Gundy and applaud him for saying what he did. But I do feel college athletes are paid...Maybe not money in there pockets but they do get a free or a cheaper education.
