Justin Gilbert and Rashaad Samples need to race

So all of this started when Rashaad Samples announced to the world that he ran a freshman-record 4.32 40 this summer.

Ran a 4.32 forty today fastest time by a freshmen ever at OSU…

Of course that’s a college 40 and for all we know Gundy had the industrial-sized fans blowing behind him, but whatever.

Then Justin Gilbert retaliated — as the fastest man on campus should retaliate.

Then David Ubben suggested this:

True story: If #okstate setup a Gilbert/Samples race and charged a dollar for tickets the first week of classes, it could sell 2500 of them.

And here we are.

For the record, it would get a lot more than 2,500.

Also, I’ll set the line at Gilbert: 2-1 | Samples: 10-1 and let you guys do the wagering. Also, I’ll give you Clint Chelf at 3000-1 just for funsies.
