Mike Gundy Injured in Bizarre Cattle Encounter Ahead of Big Game Against BYU

Meet Mike Gundy: Coach, Cattle Wrangler, and One Tough Cowboy

Hey, folks! So, here’s the latest buzz coming out of Stillwater, Oklahoma. Our favorite football coach, Mike Gundy, has found himself in a bit of a pickle during the team’s bye week, and it’s not the kind of pickle you might expect. No, this isn’t about a loss or a controversial play; it’s all about a rather bizarre encounter with his very own cattle!

Zooming In on the Situation

On a typical Monday, Gundy would hop in front of a bunch of reporters for his weekly press conference, but this time things were a little different. Instead of his usual, lively in-person appearance, he opted for a Zoom call—and guess what? The camera was off! Now, that’s not something you see every day from a guy known for his animated personality.

What Happened With the Cattle?

As the story goes, Gundy had a rather unexpected run-in with his cattle over the weekend, which left him with a pretty nasty injury. In his own words, he said, “I guess they’ve been watching us play, and I got head-butted.” Yes, you read that right—head-butted by a cow! It’s alarming how animals can pack such power, isn’t it?

Gundy continued by explaining his current condition: “So I’ve got a bad eye that I didn’t think would be particularly enjoyable for people when they were looking at my pretty face in a live interview.” Talk about self-deprecating humor! But he quickly shifted gears to express that, “more importantly, it’s full of blood and I get dizzy.” Ouch! It sounds like he’s still feeling the impact of that bovine attack, and frankly, we can imagine he might not be up for any high-energy coaching sessions this week.

Going Forward with the Cowboys

Now, the Cowboys are gearing up for a big game against No. 13 BYU on Friday night in Utah. But here’s the deal: given that Gundy is struggling just to be upright and to “be in a normal function,” there’s a real concern about how involved he’ll be during the matchup. Football is a team effort, but having a head coach who’s feeling dizzy and sporting a black eye… well, not the best scenario!

Season Overview

In case you’ve missed it, this season has had its ups and downs for Oklahoma State. The Cowboys started off strong, ranked No. 17 in the country, but have stumbled recently. They’ve faced three straight losses, the latest being a tough 38-14 defeat against West Virginia at home. Bouncing back from that will definitely take some grit!

Final Thoughts

So there you have it, folks—Mike Gundy, head coach of the Cowboys, is tough as nails, but even tough guys can have a few bumps along the way. Quite literally! It’s not every day you hear about a coach getting head-butted by a cow, but that’s sports for you. We’ll be keeping an eye on how Gundy and the Cowboys handle their upcoming game, and let’s hope he gets back to his coaching self soon. After all, a little cattle drama shouldn’t keep him off the field for long, right?
