In a Tense Moment for OSU, Mike Gundy’s Apology Was a Refreshing Act of Humility

They helped me see through their eyes how the t-shirt affected their hearts.

Did Oklahoma State’s football program change with a single sentence? Even if Mike Gundy is giving a post-Big 12 title game speech in the middle of AT&T Stadium in December (or whenever), that might be the most important line he utters all year.

You can criticize the teleprompter read or the way it was delivered — and some of you have! — but none of that matters. It does not matter. What matters is that it takes gobs of what Gundy has so often lacked during his past decade at Oklahoma State — humility — to do what he did on Tuesday afternoon and apologize.
