Where else to begin our journey with the Pokes Pod than with a guy who's a legend in his own right? Mike Gundy is synonymous with Oklahoma State. He’s a Cowboy through and through. But, life almost had another plan for the OSU lifer. Gundy was originally committed to play for rival Oklahoma, but had a change of heart—turning down Barry Switzer to go play for Pat Jones and the Cowboys. That decision would change Gundy’s life—and the fortunes of Cowboy football. But who is Mike Gundy? What made him into the person and coach he is today? In Part 1 of our exclusive conversation with Mike Gundy, we tell the story of how he went from high school standout to Cowboy legend.
