Oklahoma football is hurting right now.

First, longtime Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy was fired earlier today (ok...some fans may be rejoicing at that).

And then we received news that Heisman favorite, overall nice guy and best-hair-in-football John Mateer would be out indefinitely after undergoing hand surgery.
