Okay, if you've been here today in the SB, you've probably been hearing me and Kaedon yell "THAT'S GARBAGE" "AND THE ADMIN THAT LET THAT COME OUT...IS GARBAGE" and "I'M A MAN, I'M 40"...here's why this has been going around...

On September 22, 2007, Gundy made comments that became the subject of a nationwide media controversy. Following his team's victory over the Texas Tech Red Raiders, Gundy refused to discuss or answer any questions about the game. Instead, he said he wanted to talk about a newspaper article that had appeared that day. The article was critical of one of Gundy's players and Gundy launched into what ESPN called a "tirade" against the journalist who wrote the story. Video clips of the coach, at times screaming, were quickly downloaded more than 75,000 times from video streaming sites such as YouTube, where it became one of the ten most-downloaded clips of the day. Jenni Carlson of The Oklahoman wrote the original article discussing Bobby Reid, the former starting quarterback, and reasons why he may have been demoted to second-string. The OSU coaching staff publicly supported Reid earlier in the year but then demoted him with no explanation of the change. The article was titled "Reid is still the most talented signal-caller, but attitude is reason for change". Carlson said that Reid was still the most talented quarterback on the team but that he got "nicked in some games and sat it out instead of gutting it out."

In his post-game speech to the media, Gundy called three-fourths of Carlson's column "fiction". During his weekly news conference the following Monday, Carlson asked the coach to point out what he thought were factual errors in the article and Gundy replied, "I don't have to." Carlson replied that she can't report errors to the paper unless she knows what they are. Gundy said, "I don't have to. I'd rather just let it go." Gundy was asked two more times by reporters from other papers and still declined to explain which parts of the article were incorrect. He said that his only regrets concerning his post-game statements were that he wished he had said more and been better prepared. Gundy called the 21-year old Reid a "good kid" who does things right and is undeserving of such criticism. Reid's mother says that the story was malicious and untrue. She pointed to one thing in the article that she said was untrue; she said she did not feed her son chicken from a box meal after the team's loss to Troy University.

In a column the following Tuesday, Carlson wrote that she also would like to let it go, had Gundy not questioned her credibility. She wrote, "I will not stand on the sidelines and allow someone to attack my credibility." She challenged Gundy to point out even one statement from the article that was not factually correct. The Oklahoman sports editor, Mike Sherman, also stood by the story. Mike Griffith, president of the Football Writers Association of America, called Gundy's behavior "completely inappropriate". CBS Sportsline's Dennis Dodd went further saying, "Mike Gundy needs to be reprimanded, definitely suspended, probably fined and maybe fired. OSU athletic director Mike Holder stood behind Gundy, saying that "nothing is more important to us than our student-athletes." College football coaches were divided in their opinions. Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh said, "I feel like the coach at Oklahoma State summed it up very well. I’m in agreement with him." However, Oregon State coach Mike Riley said that dealing with both criticism and praise is just part of a player’s learning experience. Riley said, "They’re young men, but I think college is all about growth and development. The scrutiny part of it is part of our life, and they have to be educated about that."

The episode generated discussion about what constitutes fair criticism for players that welcome the adulation of the press when things are going well for them. In Gundy's criticism of Carlson, he said that she would have never written the piece if she were a parent like himself. There are some concerns that the remarks constituted a form of sexism and about whether Gundy would have launched a similar attack on a male sportswriter. The Association for Women in Sports Media said Monday night that Gundy handled the situation in an "unprofessional manner." Football fans were divided on the issue. Some thought that Carlson's story was unfair and that Gundy did the right thing in sticking up for his player. Others thought that Carlson had a right to run the story and that Gundy over-reacted. Further adding to the controversy is the fact the Carlson was not even at the Troy game, although she did say she relied both on "observations and sources

Plus....this shit started becuase A 21 YEAR OLD WAS BEING FED CHICKEN BY HIS MOM!...WTF?!?!?!

Yeah, I was hearing he was going to be fired for this, but...he wasn't. He'll probably be fired anyways becuase of the crappy season that his team has had. It would surprise me if he stayed another year there. And everyone knows that one of the players just got charged w/ Sexual Assult of a 13 year old girl...right?
