Whatever you want to call it, one thing is for certain: It’s another classic shakedown from the coach who taught us How To Gundy after the Cowboys won a 30-29 thriller at Texas A&M three years ago.

The surprise performance was set up by Wayne Bovenshcen, assistant director of the marching band, and Kristen Gundy.

Bovenschen has been with the OSU music department for 28 years. He said when Gundy was the Cowboys’ quarterback, the drumline would play along as the team walked from the locker room to the field during home game days.

Bovenschen thought it would be fitting to celebrate Gundy’s birthday with the old-time tradition. He said he had wanted to do something like this for the past two years.
