Mike Gundy is a worthy successor to the late Mike Leach.

And I mean that as a compliment.



What else could it possibly be!!?

The news media today is openly biased. They don't even tried to hide it anymore. Whether you see it or not, it's there and it's real. That might say just as much about your biases. We all have biases so in a way it's better to have it so open. To pretend they are fair and balanced is to look at it wearing blinders.
Again, there are independent resources available that tell you outlets' biases. It's not hard with that information to account for or ignore those that present slanted news or to find and consume those with less obvious biases.

There's no such thing as "the news media" as you're using it here. Each source is accountable for its own buses and work. Find sources that aren't actively trying to manipulate you. They're out there.

If by "independent resources" you mean something like media or social media "fact checkers", you are telling about something just as biased as the partisan media and often blatantly false. I just use common sense. If a news outlet acts partisan they probably are. I see it every time I watch any of the so-called "mainstream" media outlets. It is what it is.

You mean the giant MAGA asshat jumped down a reporter's throat for trying to do his job? Color me shocked. Who could have possibly imagined that guy was an *******.

I love how he immediately jumps to "these guys have families" only to threaten to take the reporters credential and possibly put his job at risk… ya know the way he puts food on the table for HIS family.

Gundy is and always will be a chode. With fat Pat gone I'm glad I still have a favorite Big 12 coach to hate.

If it makes you feel any better I'm sure it was a half-heated fake apology. I'm sure he's still a MAGA a s s hole just like you.

Definitely on Gundy's side here. He could have given a politically correct non-answer. He clearly places higher value on standing up for his players and coaches than the entitled media. That took guts. Good for him. He earned his pay with that response.

Gundy is an idiot. After wearing an OAN shirt it told me all I need to know about that clown. He's a football coach, not a rocket scientist.

I understand your point but I think he was forced into that by his employer. He could have fought it but he never was going to succeed. The national media had jumped on that a bit & the usual suspects were going bananas. It was a stupid complaint & he was the victim there but he made the wise decision.
Not a huge Leach fan, but agree with your assessment, especially the usual suspects part.

The reporter didn't mention any names or ask for specifics. He asked if Gundy anticipated any staff changes. There was nothing wrong with the question. It was just another case of a coach trying to intimidate a reporter.

When you work for a public university and are essentially the manager of a multi-million dollar business, you should expect tough questions. It's not the first time he's freaked out on a reporter. And of course, reporters love stuff like this because the stories get tons of attention

Had he said we are evaluating 3 position coaches, we'd not be talking about this now. By saying what he did, the reporter is getting clicks as is OSU Football. It's no big deal.

It's not a big deal I guess. Just interesting that a highly paid coach apparently doesn't want to answer any tough questions. I think most of us at our jobs have been asked far more cutting questions than this when a project has gone sour, and I doubt anyone on here makes anywhere close to what Gundy does. That's all I'm getting at

People will gripe either way. Grundy shows emotion and he is wrong. Aranda shows no emotion and he too is wrong.

It's a personnel question that nobody should expect an answer to

No harm, no foul.

Ask questions you know won't be answered….

Got it…you're a fan.

I'm a fan of Mike Gundy and how he deals with media.

I wish he'd have re upped and said I'm a man…I'm 50 when he turned that age.

Classic.
If reporters only asked questions people in positions of power and influence were comfortable answering, the press would have no utility.


The press in general has very little utility anyway, especially the political press. They are more accurately described as propagandists.
This is nonsense. A bad free press is still a significantly and objectively superior alternative to no press.

Your opinion here is more informed by your political leanings than reality. Partisan media sucks, but the are plenty of resources available through which you can learn individual outlets biases, and there are still outlets that try to and, by and large succeed at presenting news in a fair and objective manner. The problem is we live in a media environment that feeds on division and allows us to choose our own reality and declare any news we disagree with fake news.


Would love to hear what media outlets you believe present news in a fair and objective manner? Serious question as I can think of none.

Idiots such as you are a major reason for the divisive atmosphere this country is experiencing. Watch and listen to whatever the F you want, but it is none of your damn business what others watch or listen to. Got to get back to Newsmax.

Reuters, BBC, and MarketWatch are examples of incredible neutral sources.

This post says a lot. A simple Google search shows that both Reuters and the BBC lean significantly left. Never heard of Marketwatch.

Nice try. It's always fun when people try to dispute something without providing a source.
