Gundy, Carlson driving NewsOK (hello Paraguay)
First of all, you may have experienced problems getting NewsOK to load this week. You won’t be surprised the Mike Gundy-Jenni Carlson situation is the reason. We’ve had serious traffic from people everywhere.
Let’s break it down:
The top referring Web site to NewsOK is ESPN.com. CBS Sportsline and CNN SI are also in the top five.
Yesterday was the highest trafficked day in NewsOK history. Today will top that before 5 p.m.
Users from 152 countries have visited NewsOK this week, including one each from Fiji and Paraguay. Allow me to personally say thank you to both of you. We love you.
The top viewed video on NewsOK was Jenni Carlson responding for the first time on camera to Mike Gundy’s press conference. We thank Jenni and Mike Sherman for their time.
But the real thanks goes to you the user. Thank you for visiting NewsOK and sharing your comments and dialogue. Keep it clean, but keep it coming.

Jenni Carlson responds to Mike Gundy
The Oklahoman’s columnist Jenni Carlson and sports editor Mike Sherman went to Stillwater today for the Oklahoma State football press conference. Both spoke with Mike Gundy, who blasted Carlson on Saturday for her column.
So we asked Carlson and Sherman to go on camera at NewsOK.tv before other media.
Check it out. And we posted it on YouTube, which is something we don’t usually – but should – do.

Halo and Mike Gundy
Let’s get to it. It’s all the news today. All over the Internet. No, I’m not talking about Mike Gundy. It’s the release of Halo 3. And it happens tonight just after midnight. For those of you laughing about a video game, consider this. 10,000 U.S. retailers will open their doors tonight to sell it. The billion-dollar Halo franchise expects to sell 4 million units of Halo 3… in the first two months!
But enough fun and games. Let’s get to it. The Mike Gundy video on NewsOK has been the top viewed video on the site. And we offer two camera angles, two flavors if you will: the News9 video and The Oklahoman’s video, captured by Darnell Mayberry.
Jenni Carlson’s blog has a couple hundred comments. And her column – which sparked Gundy’s post game comments – is quickly becoming the most trafficked story in NewsOK history.
Let me say this: NewsOK is all about hosting the conversation. Watch the video, read the columns – including Berry Tramel’s column today. And let us know your thoughts.
And maybe go buy a video game tonight. More to come. Catch you later.
