Gundy spoke about Saturday's game against Texas Tech for the first 10 minutes before being asked about the postgame. On Saturday Gundy did not address any aspect of his team's 49-45 win over the Red Raiders, choosing instead to rail against Jenni Carlson's column about backup quarterback Bobby Reid.
When asked about the outburst, which has gained significant national attention, Gundy said he didn't regret the outburst and said he is surprised by how much attention it has drawn.
"I just was shooting from the hip,” Gundy said. "I probably should have had a better prepared speech — my English would have been better. The only thing I said is that I should have written it out because there's other things I wanted to say and didn't get out. Because I forgot.”
When asked what other things he wanted to say, Gundy said it wasn't "worth talking about.”
"It just happened,” Gundy said. "Because of my feelings for the team and the players and I felt like it wasn't the right thing and so I was the guy that had to say something about it. I certainly didn't do it to receive recognition and I certainly don't want to take away from this upcoming game like it unfortunately took away from the last game for the team.”
On Saturday night Gundy said three-fourths of the story was inaccurate. Carlson asked Gundy during the press conference what was incorrect in the story and Gundy responded "I don't have to.”
She then told him she can't report errors to the paper unless she knows what they are.
"I don't have to,” Gundy said again. "I'd rather just let it go.”

To whom it may concern at NEWSOK.com, The Oklahoman, OPUBCO, NEWS 9: First, it saddens me as an Oklahoman that these news organizations listed above have taken the low road over these past few days concerning the Mike Gundy post game press conference. Admittedly I am very upset and have even at times almost sunk(not really that close) as low as your News Organizations have these past few days in vain hoping that the public sentiment would finally be heard. It has become painfully obvious that none of you care that Jenni Carlson personally attacked a young man (kid as Gundy referred to him). Mike Gundy, Jenni Carlson, and yes even Bobby Reid are not above scrutiny just as all of us are not above scrutiny. However, that being said what was done by Jenni Carlson and the OPUBCO family was a very personal and malicious attack against this young man. I have been critical of Bobby Reid’s and Mike Gundy’s performance in the past but I never and would never attack them personally to make myself feel better. There is a difference between criticizing a person’s performance and attacking them personally. The line was obviously crossed in this instance and this story, column, article; whatever you want to call it should have never been printed in the Oklahoman or posted on NEWSOK.com. It is trash that has caused an irreversible chain of events that has caused lots of damage to a lot of organizations and people. When simply if it had been edited properly and well thought out the subsequent and ongoing chain of events would not have ever happened.

No real shock there. However, none of you are listening to the majority of the American people who have clearly stated that what Jenni Carlson and the Oklahoman did was wrong and without their wrong the ensuring events would not have happened.

While I appreciate his report (somewhat) it was very distasteful distributing it at this time to try and take heat off of Jenni Carlson and the OPUBCO family for a very obvious mistake that they made. I have trust in Oklahoma State University and the people within it and outside of it within the State Government of Oklahoma to do their jobs to make sure that not only Oklahoma State University officials are doing their jobs but also for the University of Oklahoma and any other publicly funded schools, colleges, and University officials are also doing their jobs. If they are not then no doubt those of you within the media circle will be right there to make sure they do. I am sorry I may have missed it in his report but was the State of Oklahoma demanding that OSU find a new president and they have ignored those requests repeatedly? I didn’t think so. This was an obvious attempt by him and the OPUBCO family and supporters such as NEWS 9 and Griffin communications to somehow turn this football story into something so much more. SHAME ON YOU. I can assure you that my priorities are not misplaced as I set here in the middle of war in Iraq , serving as part of the greatest Nation and Navy in the World. It is people like me and the ones that I serve along side in all branches of the military that day after day put our lives on the line all around the world and we continue day in and day out to ensure that you, your families, friends, enemies and the organizations you serve can continue to have the rights that allow such mockery of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States of America. I am sure that our fore Fathers are not very proud of this display of unprofessional journalism.

I am starting to get the distinct feeling that you don't like Doug and I. Here Doug sends his best wishes and says delete again and again and again and again and again. Has anyone let you know that 95% of the America public who has weighed in on this issue. Says that you all were wrong. WHERE OH WHERE DID DOUGLAS FROM MERIDIANS POSTS GO OH HERE IS ONE. WE ARE VERY CLOSE FRIENDS. THE INTERNET IS SO WONDERFUL AS THIS WAS JUST E-MAILED A FEW MINUTES AGO. HAVE A GOOD DAY. NEWSOK where oh where are my previous posts. Don't worry I saved them for you. QUIT ERASING THEM AND ACCEPT YOUR FATE!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU AGREE READERS MIGHT I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME. Sorry for the inconvenience some of you are receiving this a second time. I mean who knew that yahoo would only let you send an e-mail to a limited number of people. To whom it may concern at NEWSOK.com, The Oklahoman, OPUBCO, NEWS 9: First, it saddens me as an Oklahoman that these news organizations listed above have taken the low road over these past few days concerning the Mike Gundy post game press conference. Admittedly I am very upset and have even at times almost sunk(not really that close) as low as your News Organizations have these past few days in vain hoping that the public sentiment would finally be heard. It has become painfully obvious that none of you care that Jenni Carlson personally attacked a young man (kid as Gundy referred to him). Mike Gundy, Jenni Carlson, and yes even Bobby Reid are not above scrutiny just as all of us are not above scrutiny. However, that being said what was done by Jenni Carlson and the OPUBCO family was a very personal and malicious attack against this young man. I have been critical of Bobby Reid’s and Mike Gundy’s performance in the past but I never and would never attack them personally to make myself feel better. There is a difference between criticizing a person’s performance and attacking them personally. The line was obviously crossed in this instance and this story, column, article; whatever you want to call it should have never been printed in the Oklahoman or posted on NEWSOK.com. It is trash that has caused an irreversible chain of events that has caused lots of damage to a lot of organizations and people. When simply if it had been edited properly and well thought out the subsequent and ongoing chain of events would not have ever happened. To name a few ESPN, FOX, MSN, CNN, Yahoo, You tube and many other media sources. Of course most of the reporters and news agencies have taken up sides with the OPUBCO family and supporters. No real shock there. However, none of you are listening to the majority of the American people who have clearly stated that what Jenni Carlson and the Oklahoman did was wrong and without their wrong the ensuring events would not have happened. Ed Kelley decided to take a very cheap shot at the people of this Great Nation, the Great State of Oklahoma and those of us who genuinely care about Oklahoma State University in saying that we have misplaced priorities and should be focusing our attention more on the education and Presidential status at Oklahoma State University . While I appreciate his report (somewhat) it was very distasteful distributing it at this time to try and take heat off of Jenni Carlson and the OPUBCO family for a very obvious mistake that they made. I have trust in Oklahoma State University and the people within it and outside of it within the State Government of Oklahoma to do their jobs to make sure that not only Oklahoma State University officials are doing their jobs but also for the University of Oklahoma and any other publicly funded schools, colleges, and University officials are also doing their jobs. If they are not then no doubt those of you within the media circle will be right there to make sure they do. I am sorry I may have missed it in his report but was the State of Oklahoma demanding that OSU find a new president and they have ignored those requests repeatedly? I didn’t think so. This was an obvious attempt by him and the OPUBCO family and supporters such as NEWS 9 and Griffin communications to somehow turn this football story into something so much more. SHAME ON YOU. I can assure you that my priorities are not misplaced as I set here in the middle of war in Iraq , serving as part of the greatest Nation and Navy in the World. It is people like me and the ones that I serve along side in all branches of the military that day after day put our lives on the line all around the world and we continue day in and day out to ensure that you, your families, friends, enemies and the organizations you serve can continue to have the rights that allow such mockery of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States of America. I am sure that our fore Fathers are not very proud of this display of unprofessional journalism. All who serve in the military are people just like you and we enjoy the same things as the next person. College Football, NFL, Golf, NASCAR, fishing, hunting, cards, polo, swimming, running, biking and so on. What I don’t enjoy is reading or watching such a debacle that has ensured from a post game press conference by Mike Gundy. Lastly, I am deeply concerned about how this out of control situation will continue to affect the Great the State of Oklahoma and the people who are a part of it. Although I no longer live and work there I continue to care and always will about the people, the communities, the farms, the businesses, the churches, the schools, the colleges, the Universities and so on. Because I am and always will be an Oklahoman no matter where I live and work. Yes, I am an Oklahoma State fan but this issue goes way deeper than allegiance to school lines and all of us would do well to remember that. Shortly I will make my last visit to the NEWSOK.com website and can assure you I will avoid your news organizations like the plague. Tulsa World, KOCO, KFOR, KC STAR I am a new customer. P.S.

Well that's it for me! Just saw Bobby Reid's mother on KFOR channel four and she said the reference to her feeding Bobby chicken was an outright lie! That's all I needed to hear! Time for the Editor in Chief of the Daily Oklahoman to send Berry Tramel and Jenni Carlson's dog and pony act packing! Send them to the East or West coast where they can continue to exploit their brand of tarnished tabloid journalism! They should both take a non-paid leave of absence until cooler heads prevail! Oh and BTW Jenni! "Most" students would not rather be seen running naked!!! Another cheap shot at Stillwater's historical "streaker night" years! Please Jenni! For all of our sakes! Put your clothes back on!
For those who's still think Jenni Carlson is right, read this: http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=sports&id=5677281
.Bobby Reid's mom said the chicken feeding thing never happened, and that Jenni Carlson wasn't even there in Troy to cover the game. Maybe Ms Carlson should become a fiction writer, instead of a "reporter" which she proudly claimed she is.
It's quite obvious that Jenni Carlson's comments were of a racist nature - and what does eating chicken have to do with playing football? or any sport for that matter? She doesn't deserve to be a journalist. She has no journalistic integrity. She should be fired and stripped of her "journalistic" license. The other problem is, she won't be fired. Everyone at her work is behind the scenes laughing about it with her and high-fiving her behind closed doors. Her superiors are as guilty as she is. That's why she'll always be in little po'dunk Oklahoma. She would never make it in a real journalism environment. And she looks like she should be a food reporter - not sports.
If "Jenny's mother was not feeding her, she's a grown woman & can use her own hands to guide food to where it belongs," can't she also use those hands to provide some sources for the "rumor and innuendo" she printed and now calls "fact"? I love that she's responsible for that personal attack, and now she wants Gundy to prove that she was wrong. It's YOUR story, Jenni. You should be able to prove that it's true! Why do you put this back on Gundy? Could it be because your only "sources" are Cowpoke2191 and OrangeMan69? Internet rumor that you culled from Orangepower doesn't count as a "FACT"! It's time to apologize for your baseless personal attack of a kid and to start praying that you can cover ANYTHING Oklahoma State related in the future with some tiny shred of credibility. Pray hard, Jenni, because that's the only chance you've got!
She based it on "Word is...", "rumors and rumblings", and things that were "apparent" to her yet not to the coaches. She needs to be demoted to the high school newspaper.
Gundy has zero control over the program. It's quite apparent that he is not the man. Instead, bash a young woman that has exposed the cold truth. Jenny's mother was not feeding her, she's a grown woman & can use her own hands to guide food to where it belongs. I completely agree with her column. I'm confident that Gundy would not have "ranted" the way he did if the columnist would have been a man. What a coward.
Please sign this petition. It would be good to be able to put a definitive count infront of her since she's probably having a hard time keeping the tally with all these comments.
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/Carlson_public_apology/
What I don't understand is this: In this day of Dan Rather and all these other hacks who are hypocrites or make things up, why wasn't she fired? She doesn't give reference sources, she merely says "I stand behind those facts." What facts.....facts in HER opinion? Maybe the Around Town section would suit her more. Additionally there is an old saying "Those who can't play coach, those who can't coach are waterboys, those who can't hold water are "reporters." Here's your bucket Ms. Carlson. The Oklahoman is too big a newspaper to put up with this woman covering sports.
Gundy is right. When a newspaper article - column or otherwise - repeatedly refers to "rumblings" and "rumors," with no attribution whatsoever, that isn't journalism. It's a tabloid, and it's a joke.
What a freaking waste of time and space--enough already! There's a war going on, people are losing their jobs and their homes, and people are dying because they can't get medical treatment, but we're worried about a stupid game! Wake up--there is SO much more going on in this world that's more important than this.
Sorry to double post, but in a poll on http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/7262930, 95% of the 50,000 plus who voted are taking the side of....that's right -Coach Gundy.
The country is NOT laughing at Coach Gundy. Although some sooner fans might like to think so. This may be the best thing that ever happend to OSU recruiting. (better than Boone's millions? - maybe not) I was shocked at first as Gundy started his heart-felt speech, but by the end it was clear that he was justified in his position on the matter. Most medias are reporting on the Gundy speech with admiration.
"Gundy took a stand and defended one of his amateur athletes. He did so publicly.
This wasn't a "breakdown."
This, folks, was a decent man doing what any college coach should do if/when one of his players is attacked.
And this speech? Well, it was an act worthy of applause."
you are atrocious....it is sad that anybody has to call you father or mother and I hope that you to have to deal with children who get ripped on and YOU have to deal with that...
She has already revealed where she got the information. That was two reporters from the Oklhoman who were given the information directly from 2 diffrent OSU coaches and Bobby Reid himself.
Chad that is called heresay, 3rd party information...he said/she said crap..it ISN'T allowed in court..why should we allow it in the media?
why is Jenni Carlson afraid of doing a direct source ..from the horse's mouth verified acct FROM Gundy himself? or failing that from the QB coach? is it that hard? You have to go to the source..not your friend, not your coworker...YOU..it is YOUR article and YOUR reputation...Carlson was willing to risk that..I sure as hell wouldn't..
I am not laughing at Gundy...I am laughing at the amateurish column left by the Oklahoman and I DO question her credibility as well as that of her editor.
When I read this article, things stuck out to me that I would NEVER use in an article whether the Oklahoman is willing to man up to this or not. who uses phrases as "I suppose", "It seems...", "Word is"...these phrases which were spread throughout the article are that of a 3rd party assumption. "When you assume, you make an ass of u and me. It is, in my mind, the ONLY job of a sportswriter, to go to the source. Do not adlib, do not paraphrase or put words in the mouths of others or assume that YOU have the knews based on heresay comments that this athlete told this person or that person which also occurred twice at least that I counted. When you go directly to the source without equivocation, it takes out ANY doubt and both sides of the story are aware at what will be printed. It is after the fact, to ask a coach of what the "factual errors" are..they SHOULDN'T have existed from the beginning and an emailed interview or a phone call would have clarified the situation.
I am 100% behind Mike Gundy and as a father of two kids, I would have my kids play under him regardless of what you think of him. Mike Gundy is a PARENT'S coach...he is NOT a babysitter, but he is a good man who I could feel 100% comfortable having my kids play for his program without blinking twice. Parents want this type of a coach for their kids. A coach who will publically go to bat for their kids against a columnist What does Ms. Carlson want anyway? Coach Gundy told her a couple of points in his rant as far as where she goofed and said what wasn't true, did she pay attention at all to what he said?
As far as getting meal from his mom, he IS still a kid. How many of you were athletes whether in HS or college? in a 4 hour game you CAN get some hunger strikes...so the hell what? Are you better than that athlete because you don't? his mom is in the stands and he is on the sidelines..you are making a MUCH bigger issue about this than is needed.
Everybody makes Coach Gundy to be enraged, I gotta say, I thought that he was direct, forward and brunt. there are times where that is called for. If I talked about anybody's kids the way Ms. Carlson talked about Bobby Reid- I would EXPECT to get creamed as well.
Ms. Reid, what will you do when your kid is playing Little League and someone BOOS him off the field??
Are you ready to deal with that? Probably NOT!
People who write about sports, should be at LEAST athletes, so they have perspective as an athlete and as a team member.
Gundy, I applaud you..people say what they want. You HAVE no explaniation to do, you gave two examples which were MORE than needed. A columnist should be able to read through their article and pinpoint where they went to the source, where they may have hit too hard or where they may not have reliable sources. An Editor should be twice as vigilent in that respect. If anything, this amateur athlete got a raw deal by an amateur columnist. Hopefully, people do NOT take Gundy's rant out of context to benefit their own opinions. Hopefully, people will read it in the spirit and the letter of intent that he meant it.

.Bobby Reid's mom said the chicken feeding thing never happened, and that Jenni Carlson wasn't even there in Troy to cover the game. Maybe Ms Carlson should become a fiction writer, instead of a "reporter" which she proudly claimed she is.
She based it on "Word is...", "rumors and rumblings", and things that were "apparent" to her yet not to the coaches. She needs to be demoted to the high school newspaper.

GO POKES!!!!!!!!!!!
"Gundy took a stand and defended one of his amateur athletes. He did so publicly.
This wasn't a "breakdown."
This, folks, was a decent man doing what any college coach should do if/when one of his players is attacked.
And this speech? Well, it was an act worthy of applause."
you are atrocious....it is sad that anybody has to call you father or mother and I hope that you to have to deal with children who get ripped on and YOU have to deal with that...
She has already revealed where she got the information. That was two reporters from the Oklhoman who were given the information directly from 2 diffrent OSU coaches and Bobby Reid himself.
Chad that is called heresay, 3rd party information...he said/she said crap..it ISN'T allowed in court..why should we allow it in the media?
