Oklahoma State’s Star Running Back Won’t Play Because of Mike Gundy’s Shirt
Published:
Chuba Hubbard is the reigning Big 12 rushing champion, and last year’s victory wasn’t even close. His 2,094 yards were nearly 800 more than the #2 rusher in the league, who was future Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. No other running back came close.
Anyway, Hubbard is one of the nation’s best ball carriers and he says he’s not doing anything with Oklahoma State because he’s pissed off that head coach Mike Gundy appeared in a photo wearing a One America News Network shirt:
OAN is a conservative network existing to the right of FOX News on the political spectrum.
I’m interested in hearing what Gundy has to say in response to this. He previously has railed against social media, saying that he could “give a rat’s ass about Twitter” before making a fart noise into the microphone. He also famously ripped a newspaper writer for a hit piece against one of his players, yelling “I’m a man! I’m 40!” in response to the journalist going after a student-athlete.
EDIT –
I didn’t even realize this, but Hubbard led the entire nation in rushing. The guy from Navy was about 70 yards behind him.
