Just became an Okie State fan.

Thanks. I'm glad that Gundy went off. I agree with him. No college kid should not be attacked that personally.

That's great to see a coach stick up for his kid like that. Maybe it was harsh, but I could care less. That was awesome.

For the most part the media consists of a bunch of weavels who are nothing more than professional gossipers. Rarely do they know much about what they are talking about. Tony Kornheiser is a perfect example - a man who makes a good living talking, passing judgment on, and commentating on something about which he knows absolutely nothing. Kudos to Mike Gundy.

Brophy is right. you cant win against a printing press. Any veteran coach who has dealt with the press would advice you if you had a problem with something said or wrote go to that parson privately and handle it. You solve problems while maintaining a relationship with the press. Going off in public is usually the first step on the slippery slope of not being coach much longer

I respect Gundy, what he did and what he said, but unfortunately this is not going to help him in the long run. If Okie State drops a few more games he could even wind up losing his job.

As brophy said, the media all stick together. They may not agree with some guy but they will never applaud you for attacking them.

It can be a no-win situation. But for today, I will simply say: Kudos Mike Gundy.

Maybe but, as our esteemed colleague Sen. Blutarsky would say, sometimes you need to make a futile, stupid gesture. I enjoyed seeing Coach Gundy make it.

I think we all get like Coach Gundy from time to time, maybe more when we're losing, or things aren't goin right.

I TOTALLY AGREE! I probably would do the same thing myself. Here he is calling out the media. Forget free speech for a second and let's think about the kids.

More that was awesome was that he was starring down in the apparent way the writer who wrote the column.

He's just tryin to motivate the media to write something other than what was written. He is passionate; enough to the point where he's hollerin.

See, the politically correctedness of our society is so backwards. I don't know if the President of the University had a statement, but it's like... I think the majority of our nation gets it now, and are tired of it, and will continue to ignore it. And so could Coach and the kids. But that's just outrageous.

Let's have some humanity people, as the pen is mightier than the sword. Do some good with it. Why are so many writers so inhuman and looking to write "the story that's controversial"?

If they had any insight, they would write about the kids as individuals have accomplished in life.

BECAUSE IT'S DIVISION ONE FOOTBALL!!!

And not everyone, even myself has a chance to do that.

THEY'RE KIDS! LEAVE EM ALONE JACK!

I can't believe they are reporting Gundy went insane...what is insane is that media reportin he is

A fox writer has it right: Video is there to

Started at Arkansas, but I think he's at Samford (I hope I'm spelling that right).

yeah, I know.....weird, ain't it?

By the sounds of ESPN, you'd think Gundy made racially charged threats at someone

....what kind of society are we living in?

indeed

I bleed Purple and Gold, will fight for the SEC, but got mad love for the Big 12

That caoch defended a kid, thats what these college players are, kids, and i wish more

coaches would protect these amateur athletes. I understand we are to help raise them to

men but sometimes we care for certian kids more than others and apparently she touched

one of his own. As a player, as a human being, who wouldn't love to have someone take

thier back like that? I had a coach like that in high school i would have died for that man on

the field b/c he made me feel he would have done the same. We're the Bears from CHS

you've heard so much about ......

I think he made a ass out of himself. if the shoe were on the other foot would he want to be treated that way?

you get treated how you treat others. very simple concept. Bobby Knight for all his wins has yet to figure this out.

then there is the fact he lost his discipline. when you have emotional outbursts like that you no longer are thinking with your logical brain but your emotional brain. he is also failing to breath, which makes things worse.

I really think coaches should practice martial arts. the MA teach discipline which is some think sorely lacking in the the coaching profession.

I agree that Coach Gundy should have kept it under control and more respectful, but as has been mentioned, I really admire someone who stands by a player. With respect to response to media folks, Stoops has a good take I think.
