Sweet Century John ShinnThe Norman Transcript Friendly rivalry
Saturday will be Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy’s first against Oklahoma as a head coach. But that doesn’t mean he’s unfamiliar with the rivalry. He was a four-year starter at Oklahoma State at quarterback from 1986-1989 and had two stints as offensive coordinator before replacing Les Miles prior to this season. Stoops said he’s known Gundy since he was defensive coordinator at Kansas State over a decade ago and has a good relationship with him. Plus, he’s gotten to know him a little better since Cale Gundy, Mike’s younger brother, has been on the Sooner staff since 1999. “Whether we’re at a convention or somewhere, we’d see Mike at different places and talk,” Stoops said. “We’ve always had a fine relationship. Are we calling each other every day? No.” National significance Of the 99 previous Bedlam games, eight have included two ranked teams. The first such meeting occurred in 1972 with OU No. 2 and OSU No. 20. It also happened in 1975, ’84, ’85, ’87, ’88, ’03 and ’04. OU is 8-0 in those games. Neither team is currently ranked, marking the 17th time that has happened since 1944. OU is 9-6-1 in those games. John Shinn366-3536jshinn@normantranscript.com
