It's a reference to this iconic rant from 2007

It's crazy to me that not only are there CFB fans who are not familiar with The Rant, but there will soon be CFB PLAYERS who weren't alive when it happened.

I turned 40 back in August and that was the pseudo theme of my party… On a banner, and on the cake… And I’m an OU alumn. That’s how epic that rant was 15 years ago. Seemed like the only choice. So yes it’s CRAZY to me there are a lot of cfb fans so young they don’t even know about it.

Last year when he turned 40, I texted my manager Happy Birthday and a clip of Gundy's rant. I think he enjoyed it lol.
