Mike Gundy, fired from his head coaching gig at Oklahoma State last season, showed up on TNT’s college football show today rocking an orange tie with a statement. This wasn’t some fashion oversight, man, he wore that color on purpose.
Still Bleeding Orange, Baby
“Sporting my orange, baby,” Gundy said Saturday, making it clear where his allegiances still stand. “I got it on. Excited about Oklahoma State right now and what they’re doing.” Talk about loyalty, right? Despite getting let go last season, the man is still fully invested in his old team. That’s just pure class and a testament to how deeply rooted his connection runs.
A Lifetime of Memories in Stillwater
When asked to reflect on his long tenure, Gundy didn’t hold back on the good vibes. “Well, we’ve been very fortunate to be there a long time,” he shared. He actually came to Oklahoma State way back in 1986 as a player, got his scholarship, finished his degree there, then moved up to coach and eventually the head coach. “So, fondest memories of my life, just great people, great organization. Stillwater, Oklahoma is a beautiful place and memories of a lifetime.” He wrapped it up by saying he’s “very, very thankful for Oklahoma State and excited about what they’re doing now.”
As the Cowboys battle UCF, currently tied up right now with the Knights, Gundy’s words hit different. He’s on TV, but his heart is still clearly in Stillwater, watching his team. You gotta respect that kind of enduring spirit.
