Although my article will be a little short due to personal time constraints this week, I do have to comment on Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy’s post-game blowup at the media conference over a Saturday Oklahoma newspaper article criticizing starting QB Bobby Reid. While the writer, Jenni Carlson, likely had some facts wrong, Gundy was completely across the line when he went out there to defend his player instead of answering questions about the big win the Cowboys just finished. Gundy is completely within his public speaking discretion to try and re-direct the heat to himself from the media, but he has to understand that the media has an equal free speech right to report on and write about the student-athletes leading their teams, not just the bad ones. Everybody will move on from the incident rather quietly I suspect, but Gundy should clam down and brush off criticism of his football kids. Jenni Carlson respects all the hours studying and practicing every starting QB in college football spends each week, but part of getting better is responding to constructive criticism. At least Gundy finally gave us a memorable soundbyte from the 2007 season, which had only been highlighted by Joe Paterno’s lack of technological prowess before now.
