CATOOSA — Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy knew the applause from the mostly Tulsa-based crowd of Cowboy supporters was deserving for what he had just described.
Gundy was heaping praise on running back Justice Hill Monday night during the Tulsa-area stop of Cowboy Caravan at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino when the coach explained that Hill — who grew up not far away and attended Tulsa's Booker T. Washington High School — was on track to earn his degree in three years.
The applause followed. Then Gundy spoke up.
“That's good news and bad news,” Gundy told the roughly 700 OSU alumni and donors in attendance.
