Kevin Peterson on Mike Gundy: ‘I Think Looks is a Big Thing With Him’

Kevin Peterson took the Uni Heisman belt from Justin Gilbert after Gilbert left for greener pastures Cleveland. And to be sure, Peterson knows what good looks are all about.

I mean, look at this magnificence.

So I have to take him seriously when he’s asked about who has the best hair on the team as he was at Big 12 media days last week.

“We’ve got a lot of guys with dreads that came in,” said Peterson. It’s hard to tell because [Ramon Richards] and Jordan Burton … it’s kind of a competition between them. Coach (Mike) Gundy makes a strong push for it. Testament to coach Gundy. I think looks is a big thing with him.”

This is both a hilarious dig at Gundy (you’re almost 50 and you still care about how you look!) and a sort of college-student-to-elder-statesmen respect (you might not know what you’re doing but at least you gave great effort!)

Maybe it’s just some leftover collateral damage of the purple hoodie incident from spring ball.
