NCAAF Happy 15th anniversary, college football fans and Mike Gundy
15 years ago today wasn’t a particularly memorable day if you’re a Notre Dame fan as the 2007 Fighting Irish squad was beat up by Michigan State 31-14 and fell to 0-4 for the first time in program history. That team was bad, it got worse before it got better, and ultimately finished 3-9.
On that day however it wasn’t Charlie Weis who went on a legendary postgame rant that still gets played on countless sports radio shows to this day. It was instead a young head coach by the name of Mike Gundy who met the media following a shootout victory over Big 12 rival Texas Tech.
The rest as they say is history.
I’m not sure how many of us thought Gundy, who improved to just 13-15 as Oklahoma State’s head coach on this day, would still be leading the Cowboys by the time he was 55, but having led Oklahoma State to 16-straight bowl games and a Fiesta Bowl victory over Notre Dame a year ago, it certainly doesn’t appear that he’ll be slowing down anytime soon.
