Just when you think you’ve seen it all from the Big Daddy, mullet-sporting head coach Mike Gundy, he goes ahead and shocks you even more.
Well if you didn’t know, there is a No. 1 vs. No. 2 match up this weekend in Stillwater between the top-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Penn State Nittany Lions in wrestling.
So with Gundy being the “face” of Oklahoma State University (sorry, T. Boone), someone within the athletic department concocted a brilliant idea of using Gundy to brew up interest in Saturday’s match to get the fans to show up.
Gundy posted two different clips to Twitter … and they took two very different approaches.

Is this guy the man or is this guy THE MAN?!
For the record, I hope the Big Daddy mug, which first showed up on National Signing Day, starts making appearances at every Gundy press conference. It needs to become a staple of Gundy’s persona, ASAP. Based on this video, I’m clearly not alone in that opinion.
Also, please tell me how, if you’re a 5-star recruit, you don’t want to go play for this man and wouldn’t run through a brick wall for him? I just find that hard to believe. Hell, put me in coach! My 8.5 second, wind-aided, 40-time might not be worth much, but I’ll give it my all!
