Oklahoma State's Gundy Tried To Trademark Infamous "I'm A Man" Phrase

Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy said he tried to trademark his infamous "I'm a man! I'm 40!" phrase, but noted "somebody else had got it before I thought about it." Gundy memorably uttered the phrase during a rant following a win in '07 against Texas Tech in response to a column by The Oklahoman's Jenni Carlson. He said he may hear the phrase "three or four times a year" when someone yells it at him. Gundy: "Not much anymore. I think there are so many other things that are out there on social networking and it's kind of run its course." He added, "Now people that live in the community and back home sometimes they'll want me to sign a football, somebody's turning 40, to sign it that way on the ball or the poster. It's been a lot of fun." He noted his 12-year-old son "has it memorized" ("The Seth Davis Show," CAMPUSINSIDERS.com, 10/29).
