Mike Gundy was trying to make next week's choice a little easier.
Stillwater High School, which features Gundy's sun Gunnar at quarterback, opens the season Thursday, Aug. 31, on the road against Edmond Memorial. It's the same night Oklahoma State hosts Tulsa.
Gundy was hoping a personal phone call to Edmond Public Schools superintendent Bret Towne would lead to a solution.
Towne and Edmond athletic director Mike Nunley had none. The game would remain at Edmond Santa Fe High School, the district's lone high school football stadium.
“They're going to lose probably half of the Stillwater crowd because they're going to go to our game,” Gundy recently told colleague Jenni Carlson.
