Big 12 Football: 5 incredibly early bold predictions for the 2023 season
By John Buhler
4. Mike Gundy will be everything Brett Yormark was hoping for on XFL telecasts
With news of the Big 12 potentially implementing XFL in-game interviews, I could not be happier that this could might be a thing. Having this exist in the SEC may prove too hot to handle for the casual viewer, but with the likes of Dave Aranda, Dana Holgorsen and absolutely Mike Gundy, we are in for a treat of some delicious in-game content. Gundy will change lives with these interviews.
Whether he is being asked about how his Stillwater yard tortoise is doing, how things are going with his backup quarterback’s mom or why the Pokes are losing to the ‘Eers by 17 points at the half, this is the content we need! I am not going to predict how Oklahoma State is going to do this year, as all I know is I will somehow find a way to be disappointed by the outcome, good or bad.
However, Gundy will give us a soundbite, or two, every bit as good as his “I’m a man. I’m 40!” speech. His coaching track record speaks for itself, but I personally believe Gundy is one more great soundbite away from officially securing his spot in the College Football Hall of Fame. A helluva coach, a helluva mullet and a helluva quote. Just please be interesting Oklahoma State…
When Brett Yormark agreed or suggested this, he 100 percent thought about Gundy in this matter.
