FRISCO, Tex. — Just one day after Barry Sanders’ 50th birthday, Mike Gundy gave his former teammate a belated birthday gift of hope by way of the media, acknowledging that erecting a statue for OSU’s lone Heisman Trophy winner is in OSU’s plans.
“It’s in the works right now,” said Gundy. “I don’t think it’ll be much longer until we have a statue of Barry up. I can’t give you a date on that because I don’t play that much of a role in that, other than I’ve thought we needed it.”
There has been more and more buzz in recent months about a Barry statue eventually coming to fruition.
