He poked the Duck.

What did Mike Gundy expect he’d get after he compared Oregon’s football operation to the United States Mint?

A charcuterie board?

A cushy chair on the sideline?

A foot rub from Dan Lanning?

Oregon thumped Oklahoma State on Saturday, 69-3. I half expected Gundy, who bellyached about financial disparity before the game, to launch a GoFundMe when he was trailing, 41-3, at halftime.
