OSU VS. TEXAS

Hello there blogging world. It's been a while since I have been on. I have had a lot of things going on in my life lately, so I haven't had the time nor the desire to blog. Well I have my desire back.

So today I would like to talk about the showdown for the #1 Idiot Head Coach in the Big 12.

Candidate # 1, Mack Brown:

Now as all of you know, Mack Brown is the defending title holder of the Big 12 Idiot Head Coach of the Year award. Mack has diligently defended his title for six years in a row now. He has consistently put away the competition. His persistence has impressed me, especially last year when he felt some pressure late in the year from Dennis Franchione and Bill Callahan. Luckily both of those coaches are gone and it looked like Mack may have had an easy rode to his 7th straight title.

Unfortunately for Mack there was a huge shake-up in the polls today and it looks like he is in great jeopardy of losing his prolific crown. This leads us to our second candidate: Mike Gundy.

Mike Gundy, who finished 4th in last year's contest with his "I'm a man" tirade, looks to dethrone the dim-witted Brown. Gundy earned major accolades in this evenings game against Texas. The major accumulation of these points came late in the the game. Oklahoma State was down 28-24 and they had just recovered a Texas fumble around their own 15 yard line. There was a little over 4 minutes left in the game and OSU had all 3 timeouts left. Mike Gundy, who doubles as Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator, ran the first two plays of the drive for significant gains. Kendall Hunter had been explosive all day running for 161 yards on the day. After the second run, Mack Brown threw his trusty idiot stick across the field and smacked Mike across the face. Gundy decided to go away from the offensive scheme that had been working all day (over 200 yards rushing) and thought it was a good idea to throw the ball twice, for no gain and a turnover on downs. Good job!

So apparently Gundy's plan was to have his team bust their asses all game, only to step in at the end, with his "man" pants on and destroy his teams chance at winning.

So congratulations Mike, you win this week's Big 12 Idiot Head Coach of the Week award and you have taken a monster lead in the race for the yearly award. I am sure T. Boone Pickens is proud.
