Mike Gundy likes where his Cowboys are, predicted to contend in the Big 12 and earning national respect from the polls.
Still, it’s nice to get confirmation from your peers, not just reporters. So Gundy was interested to hear what former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach had to say about OSU in his new role as satellite radio college football pundit on Sirius/XM’s College Football Playbook.
“One thing I do when I’m driving, I love to turn on the (satellite) station where coach Leach talks, because it’s entertaining,” Gundy said. “It’s better than listening to a comedy channel. And there’s a lot of knowledge involved. So I enjoy listening to the guy.”
Gundy liked what Leach had to say about his Cowboys during one drive-time session, indicating just how far OSU’s program had come.
“He brought up some things in talking about the Big 12 – he was very complimentary of us,” Gundy said, “and one comment he made was, ‘They’ve won seven games and a bowl; they’ve won nine, then 11…’
“And he brought up at one point that you can’t win 16 games.”
That’s not to say that Gundy, or the Cowboys, want to believe that they’ve topped out at 11 wins, the school-record total they posted a year ago. Still, Gundy indicated, it’s nice that amid soaring expectations those who know the business recognize what the Cowboys have accomplished.

Leach is great. I hope he gets his redemption against Tech in court and lands another job soon.
