Source of Gundy Tirade Leaving Oklahoma State

Looks like Mike Gundy got all worked up for nothing. The DALLAS MORNING NEWS reports that Oklahoma State QB Bobby Reid won’t be playing for the Cowboys next year. The junior’s mother, Rajika, said her son will either declare for the 2008 NFL Draft, or transfer to another college to finish out his senior season. Reid was the reason behind Gundy’s famous post-game tirade earlier this season. The OSU coach went on a three-minute rant over a newspaper column that discussed Reid’s loss of the starting QB position. ...

- The prolonged march of death for the newspaper industry continued today as the LA Times laid off 150 (!!!) of their staffers, all part of a greater plan of eventually cutting the cord on 250 employees (!!?!??!), or 17% of their staff. The mass genocide coincided with the resignation of Ann Marie Lipinski, 52, as editor of the Chicago Tribune and the “resignation” of LA Times Publisher David Hiller—although Hiller believes he was ousted by Tribune Chairman and Chief Executive Sam Zell, and I’ve heard that was basically flat-out fired.

There's not much I love more than a good rant from a sports coach. I'm not talking about the little league coach who is yelling at parents in the stands and telling them he'll play whoever he wants to play. I mean the classic college or professional sports coach who puts on a great show for the media or the fans. Even though I didn't put one on this list, I love a good baseball manager who gets about four inches from an umpire's face and screams. Then he goes and kicks dirt on the plate. Then he gets really mad, pulls second base up, and launches it into center. I love that. LOVE that. I crack up every time. I may have obsessive-compulsive disorder or something, but ...

Fukudome And The Horse You Rode In On
Published 9/26/2008 by Andrew Stoeten at TheScore.com Blog
When we learned last year that the hot new Japanese baseball export would be an outfielder with the last name Fukudome, I suspect we all had a hearty chuckle for about five minutes, and then went back to surfing for raccoon-bite porn (or whatever it is we do on the interweb). And while, in the back of our heads, we knew that maybe one day this peculiar name-- say, on the back of a jersey or a t-shirt-- had the potential cause a vaguely comical misunderstanding at the office water-cooler, I would like to have thought that any confusion could be quickly undone by explaining that Fukudome is simply an overrated* Japanese ballplayer who plays for ...

For those of you who emailed and asked whether the bearded guy in the orange shirt on the sideline at UT-Georgia was me. Yep, it was. There's a refined sense of pleasure in being a fan and watching your team suffer a drubbing from the sideline. I think I spoke about five words the entire game because I was afraid of getting in the way or getting leveled. Early on one of UT's student managers said, "Clay, keep your head on a swivel." So I was terrified of getting Weis'd and laying on the ground while my cell phone buzzed with text messages from friends making fun of how badly I got wrecked. Slow motion instant replays would not be my friend. I also didn't ...

I spent more time thinking about punting Saturday than I have in my previous seven-plus seasons covering this great sport of college football.   Why? Well, first and foremost, Blake McAdams' performance in Saturday's 17-14 Mississippi State win over No. 13 Vanderbilt, which, of course, I covered. And I wondered if and when he might be subbed out. But he wasn't, and to his credit, he boomed a 48-yarder on his next attempt. The crowd applauded loudly, and I wrote a notebook item about it.   In the other color uniforms Saturday, the black and gold ones, it was ...

Bobby Reid's "a man," but he's becoming "The Man" in SWAC

Most of you saw Mike Gundy's explosion last season, when he gave a columnist for the Daily Oklahoman a tongue lashing. Gundy yelled (video below) at the columnist, Jenni Carlson, "Come after me. I'm a man. I'm 40. I'm not a kid. Write something about me. Or our coaches. Don't write about a kid that does everything right -- that's heart's broken. And then say that the coaches said he was scared. That ain't true." The line "Come after me. I'm a man. I'm 40. I'm not a kid," is so popular now, it's a punchline to your jokes. But do you remember the "kid" in this story? Most don't. Well, first off he is a man ...

Kicking the Tires: Colorado

A season that started off with high expectations for the Colorado Buffaloes has taken a sour turn the last three weeks.  While CU wasn't quite expected to contend for the Big 12 North this season, most probably expected them to be better than last year's 6-7 campaign.  After three straight losses in which the Buffs have exhibited almost no offensive punch, frustration is settling into the moun-ain air. Here is a brief look at both teams and this weekend's matchup. Players to Watch K-State Passing: Josh Freeman -- 111/169, 1,509 yards, 12 TDs, 2 INTs, 251.5 yards/game Rushing: ...

Classic Coaching Meltdowns

Since there was no baseball on tonight, no World Series preview to be written, and no part of me that felt like chiming in on the “will they or won’t they collapse?” debate swirling around the Rays at the moment, I decided to do something a little different.  The Denny Green tirade I included in yesterday’s game 5 recap got me hungry for some more classic coaching meltdowns, so I decided to track down a few more of the better ones. We’ll start off with a Jim Mora classic that’s a favorite of mine, and I’m sure it’s one of yours as well.  Mora resigned as head coach of the Saints following the loss to the ...

Check the record: OSU hasn't finished in the top-10 since a 9-0 finish in 1945, and since it didn't crack the top-10 in its two best seasons since -- back-to-back 10-2 efforts with Thurman Thomas in 1987 and Barry Sanders in 1988 -- the chance to move into the mythical championship picture against unanimous No. 1 Texas is very foreign ground. If I was really smart, I'd be ...

Mark Dantonio shows Mike Gundy how to release press conference rage like a man
Published 19 days ago by Matt Hinton at Dr. Saturday
A little background: last week, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio and East Lansing police confirmed rumors that at least one MSU football player was under investigation for putting a Spartan hockey player in the hospital during a brawl following MSU's home loss to Ohio State (not to be confused with the football-on-hockey violence in Ann Arbor the previous week). No reports of arrests or suspensions have followed, though a couple Spartan players mysteriously weren't in uniform against the Wolverines Saturday. Among them were three players the nearby Oakland Press speculated "may have had something to do with an off-campus ...

Week Ten S.E.C. Power Poll Ballot Submitted
Published 14 days ago by T Kyle King at Dawg Sports
At a moment when uncertainty grips Bulldog Nation and I am unsure about my BlogPoll ballot, it is comforting to see how cleanly the Southeastern Conference has delineated itself for purposes of this week’s S.E.C. Power Poll. The list, it seems to me, could not be more clear, so please pardon me for stating the obvious when I break it down as follows: 1. Alabama (9-0): Yes, the Gators have looked more dominant, but flashy Florida units have been outperformed by merely methodical Crimson Tide clubs for a while now and looks sometimes are deceiving. No matter what ...

College Football Picks Week 11: LSU vs. Alabama, Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State
Published 11 days ago at FanIQ Blog
Last season's Oklahoma St. vs. Texas Tech game in Stillwater was a thrilling game that the Cowboy's ended up winning 49-45; however, the only thing that anyone remembers from that game is Mike Gundy's wild tirade on an Oklahoma City sports writer. It made Gundy a YouTube sensation and completely ...

Behind the Diddly Poo: The story of Jim Mora's famous rant
Published 11 days ago by Chris Chase at Shutdown Corner
When we read Lincoln's words "Four score and seven years ago" we know that they were delivered on the battlefield at Gettysburg, in the aftermath of one of the bloodiest battles in the deadliest war in American history. Similarly, when we see clips of Martin Luther King in front of the Lincoln Memorial or see Ronald Reagan saying, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," we know the context of those speeches. On the contrary, the meaning behind some great historical talks have been long forgotten. What happened, for instance, that led to John F. Kennedy to utter the famous line, "Ich bin ein Berliner?" And, more importantly, what ...

Mike and Mike and the battle of unintentional Internet stars
Published 9 days ago by Matt Hinton at Dr. Saturday
For the second week in a row, the nation turns its lonely eyes to Mike Leach's eccentric Wild West sideshow in Lubbock, which is good and right, because this run might be the most attention Texas Tech ever gets. But the Internet's been writing little love letters to the good Cap'n for years now in exchange for an endless stream of Grade A material, and with all-time Web king Mike Gundy coming to town, there couldn't be a better a more fitting game between non-traditional powers -- and very different personalities -- to soak up another cycle of national hype than the YouTube Bowl. You folks in Muleshoe can ...

Tonight: Oklahoma St. @ Texas Tech
Published 9 days ago by The Sports Hernia at The Big Lead
Some questions and thoughts going into tonight’s game where the Red Raiders will welcome the Cowboys into the inviting confines of Jone AT&T Stadium their home turf. Will everyone still be hungover from last Saturday’s madness? Probably not, expect that place to be more insane than Paul Bearer’s face. With so much attention still being paid to the exciting events from last weekend, which has to be the best game we’ve seen thus far, some are forgetting what a crazy game these two teams played last year. OSU won 49-45 but Graham Harrell threw for 646 yards. Insane. ...

NICK SABAN REALLY DOESN’T. THERES PROOF.
Published 3 days ago by Orson Swindle at EDSBS
Go to about 2:50. Expect an audible “shit.” Gawk in awe. Anger come in layers. When you watch Mike Gundy get mad, there’s obvious hurt underneath the anger; you get the feeling Mike Gundy puts on anger like a dusty formal suit, trotting it out for special occasions like funerals. He gets angry on principle, not because there’s some underlying rage just seething and waiting to explode. When Dennis Green grows angry, there’s obvious frustration and confusion, but no sort of basic low-boil of anger. When Herm Edwards goes nuts…well, he’s obviously ...
