HOUSTON – The Oklahoma State football team traveled to Houston Saturday to begin preparation for the Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl. OSU is set for a matchup with the SEC's Texas A&M Aggies. Coach Mike Gundy met with media members upon the team's arrival.
Opening Statement:
"We're excited. We've got everybody here and looking forward to practice later on today and getting settled into the hotel. It'll be a great week."
On Texas A&M:
"They're a great football team, obviously. They've lost to the No. 1 ranked team in the country three times, the No. 4 team and No. 12. So they've had a tough schedule. They're a tough football team, and it should be a great game."
On being in Houston:
"I've spent a lot of time in Houston during my career, recruiting. There's a lot of great food in Houston, good people. We're in a great location over on the west side. There are a lot of things we can do. We don't have to go very far to get just about everything we need."
On OSU's historical bowl game success:
"I think we bring an excited team to play in the game. I think in bowl games if your team is excited about playing, you play good. If not, teams don't play very good. We've been very fortunate. We've got a great culture with good, quality young men, and they're excited about playing in the game."
On Chuba Hubbard's decision to play in the bowl game:
"I felt like he would play all along. In the environment around college football today, we're never sure, but he's a class guy. He likes his team. He likes Stillwater. He likes Oklahoma State. He has a great relationship with the coaching staff. I know he's excited about playing in the game, and we're glad to have him be a part of our team."
