The Mike Gundy tirade, which first aired on the Blogosphere, finally trickled into the mainstream media.
Gundy defended his actions Monday at his weekly press briefing (above video), saying he didn't have to explain inaccuracies in a column by the Oklahoman's Jennie Carlson. The Oklahoma State coach said he only wishes he had said more and that he had been better prepared.
Carlson defended her story and fired back in column. The paper also posted a video of Carlson and sports editor Mike Sherman discussing her column (video below). And here are links to other videos — here and here — posted on the Oklahoman.
What are they saying in Big 12 country about this? Here are two different opinions:
Wendell Barnhouse, Fort Worth Star-Telegram: In Gundy's world, college football players should be treated like children — seen and not heard. His message is to ignore Oklahoma State's football team. Fine by me.
Jerry Hill, Waco Tribune-Herald: Gundy's rant was right, but he should have handled it one-on-one with the writer and behind closed doors.
