Mike Gundy sends check to radio host who lost Oklahoma State bet

Mike Gundy put Oklahoma State on the map in 2007 with his celebrated postgame “I’m a man, I’m 40!” rant. Gundy recently reimbursed an Oklahoma City radio host that bet the Cowboys (6-6) would win eight games this season. The coach sent host Ron Benton a $250 personal check and a handwritten letter. The letter read, “I have many H.S. buddies who consume way too much alcohol, which leads to listening to talk radio. The rumor is you bet on our team and lost your money. It continued, "We came up short, so I thought the manly (51) thing to do is reimburse a guy for believing in our TEAM!"
