Oklahoma State player's Mike Gundy costume includes a mullet and a rattlesnake
James Washington’s ensemble is on point.
1. Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy knows his way around a rattlesnake hunt and doesn’t scare easily when the snakes get extremely pissed off.

2. Gundy has had an enviable mullet perched atop his head for about a year.

Yeah, that covers just about all the essential bases. It’s not clear which species of snake Washington’s got here, but context is everything for our intents and purposes. That there is a vicious rattler.
Somewhat related: Washington may go coyote-hunting with his coach.

Washington figures to be one of the best receivers in the country this season, just as he was last year, when he had 71 catches for 1,380 yards and 10 scores. He’ll pair with quarterback Mason Rudolph to form arguably the deadliest pitch-and-catch duo in the country, and he could be key to an Oklahoma State breakthrough.
We already knew Washington could ball. We now know, in addition, that he’s got an excellent sense of both fashion and humor.
