Mike Gundy wants to bring Bedlam back — in the spring.

The longtime Oklahoma State coach said Tuesday that he would prefer having two practices against rival Oklahoma in April instead of holding an intrasquad spring game.

The Cowboys and Sooners discontinued their Bedlam series last year after Oklahoma left the Big 12 for the SEC. Until then, the two in-state rivals had faced one another for 112 straight years.

Gundy suggested the Cowboys could go to Norman on April 12 — the same date that Oklahoma has scheduled its “Crimson Combine” to replace the Sooners’ traditional spring game. The following weekend, Oklahoma could make the trip to Stillwater, in place of Oklahoma State’s spring game.

Gundy added he would also be open to just one annual spring meeting with the Sooners, with the two programs splitting the ticket gate and putting the proceeds toward NIL.

“It’s not going to be a live game, but nobody really has live scrimmages anymore,” Gundy said. “So, you make it a full thud like we’re doing and practice against them, just like they do in the NFL.”

Gundy noted his idea stemmed from Colorado coach Deion Sanders’ push to replace spring games with practices and scrimmages against other programs.

Under current NCAA bylaws, football teams cannot play against another school in the spring, an NCAA spokesperson told ESPN.

Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, Ohio State and USC are among the programs opting to cancel their spring games this year. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said last month that the expanded schedule with the 12-team playoff prompted him to think differently about the spring game, considering the increased wear and tear on his players.

Gundy said Sanders got him thinking in recent days of how Oklahoma State could better utilize its spring.

“I think it’s a great idea,” Gundy said. “We get tired of practicing against one other.”

So far this spring, Oklahoma has been staying true to an iconic lyric from the official state song.

Yes, Oklahoma is the place “where the wind comes sweeping down the plain,” especially the last two weeks as high winds brought fire weather and raging wildfires to the state.

And the state’s capital, Oklahoma City, is no stranger to the wind. But how does it stack up compared to cities across the U.S.?

Here’s what to know about where OKC falls among the windiest cities in the United States.

OKC is 7th windiest city in the U.S.

According to a ranking of the 10 windiest cities in the U.S. with a population of 100,000 or more by Redfin, a real-estate brokerage company, OKC lands at number seven.

Redfin ranked the cities based on the annual average wind speed, and in Oklahoma City, that is 11.3 miles per hour.

The company also noted that the Oklahoma City metro area holds the world’s unofficial highest wind speed, with the 1999 EF-5 Bridge Creek tornado clocking 301 miles per hour. However, this is just an estimate, give or take 20 miles per hour, and is not an official record.

Officially, the record highest wind speed in Oklahoma City is 151 miles per hour in 2011, according to Redfin.
