Why Mike Gundy’s Opening Statement Post-Bedlam Was So Fantastic
I’ve been thinking about one moment from Bedlam all weekend. It’s not Corn’s fourth-and-12 toss to Tylan late in the fourth. It’s not the missed extra point from Ammendola. It’s not the two-point conversion with 63 seconds left. The moment I’ve been thinking about happened after all of that was over, about 20 minutes after the clock hit 0:00 and Lincoln Riley and Mike Gundy shook hands at midfield.
The postgame rush onto any the field for this game (and most games) is chaotic. You go from four hours of order as it relates to field decorum, and then it’s just an amoeba of players, coaches, photographers, staffers, media members, cheerleaders, band members and sometimes fans all at once.
