OSU football: Thurman Thomas hopes Ring of Honor induction bridges gap with Mike Gundy, alumni

STILLWATER — Oklahoma State legend Thurman Thomas hopes being the inaugural inductee into the Cowboys’ Ring of Honor will be a bridge to other alumni.

He also hopes it leads to a stronger relationship with OSU coach Mike Gundy.

“My relationship with Mike Gundy is probably strong,” Thomas said in a Zoom interview Tuesday. “I wish it could be stronger.”

A Hall of Fame running back who is the Cowboys’ all-time leading rusher, Thomas’ name and jersey No. 34 will be unveiled atop the west end zone of Boone Pickens Stadium at halftime Saturday against West Virginia.
