Oklahoma Sooners Unofficial 40 พอดคาสต์

It's been a long week already with wall-to-wall spring football, but that means you have tons of fresh information from us to digest on this week's episode of the Unofficial 40. We give you our first impressions of the first spring practice where we had 45+ minutes of viewing goodness. Carey, Josh, Eddie, Bob and George all weigh in on the first da…

It was a packed office today as everyone chimed in on the pod. We talked about the big fire near Campus Corner that Eddie had a direct role in putting out. Half the staff was asleep last night when the Sooners got a 2025 QB commitment. But the olds are awake to talk about it now. We also put an end to the basketball season as Bob gets his chance to…

Trying a new format this week as Josh, Eddie, George and Carey are in studio and we bring on Bob to talk about his beat of men's hoops and softball. Even though it's mid-week, there has been plenty of news this week. And that's exactly how we like it. George and Carey were at the Board of Regents meeting this week where several coaches either got e…

It's a massive day at SoonerScoop.com as we welcome in George Stoia to the company. We were able to steal George away from Denver where he's been covering the Denver Broncos over the last three years. George talks about why he came back to Oklahoma and decided to join up with us in Norman. Spring football is less than a month away but the NFL Combi…

The offseason is over in a month with the start of spring football. But Brent Venables gave us the opportunity last week to visit with his freshman and transfers so we could get to know them. We got a sample of some of the character of this team. What did we think? Who stood out? Any red flags? Bob is uncomfortable because Josh went to a football c…

Brent Venables has scheduled a tour de force media day on Thursday where he will make every newcomer (recruits and wtransfers) available to the media along with holding his own press conference to wrap up the offseason while we move toward spring football. It's something we've never seen before. But we catch up on all the latest with OU hoops and P…

Coaches are getting some well-deserved time off this week so we talk about some of the latest goings on in the NIL space and catch up with how things are going in the space. Everyone can finally stop sending Jeff Lebby to Alabama as they have hired their new offensive coordinator. Hoops is not going well since the win over Alabama. In fact, it's hi…

It's freaking cold, campus is shut down but OU is taking on OSU in Bedlam hoops tonight inside the Lloyd Noble Center. We finally have a Big 12 schedule release and we have plenty of thoughts on why it took so long and how the conference worked things out. It's also signing day and even though the Sooners don't have a lot of action today, Josh is h…

Carey, Josh and Eddie were all aboard for this week's edition of the Unofficial 40 podcast. Porter Moser's basketball team appears to be falling into disrepair. And we're tired of the excuses and the lack of action. It's time to do something about Lloyd Noble Center. It's time to stop ignoring what everyone sees. Junior Days have started and Josh h…

Carey, Eddie, and Bob are all back in studio for a strong version of the Unofficial 40 podcast. How did the Sooners turn Walter Rouse last weekend and make him a home in Norman? Josh weighs in with his thoughts. Are wide receivers the riskiest position in the portal? And will the Sooners take another one before this is all over. We also get into th…

Eddie continues to go through difficult times as his car blew up this morning. But we all somehow made it for a get together as Eddie hunkered down at his parents' house and the gang found a way to make it happen. It's a much needed podcast because everyone is trying to stay up to date on what is happening in the portal. We break down all the new a…

The gang is all here to talk to Josh, who has done the majority of traveling the last week going from Orlando to San Antonio covering all-star game practices and workouts. Josh talks about his impressions of the OU signees in Orlando at the Under Armour All-American game as the Sooners had a lot of talent in Florida. He also headed down to San Anto…

Eddie and Bob made it to Orlando but got stuck in Atlanta as Southwest Airlines went into full meltdown mode. After a rental car got them to Orlando, they've been attending all the practices and press conferences and have their report from hell. Josh is getting ready to follow them as they leave to cover the Under Armour All-American game. We break…

Oklahoma landed 5-star defensive back Peyton Bowen today and the gang is all here to breakdown how it happened and what to expect from the Class of 2023. The Sooners moved up to No. 7 in the Rivals national team recruiting rankings after Bowen signed. They also got a big transfer portal addition in Texas Tech safety Reggie Pearson. Are the Sooners …

Carey, Josh and Eddie stopped by to record a "quick" preview of what to expect for this year's signing day. We also got to check out an OU football practice as well as talk to the players after it was over. What's the latest with Dillon Gabriel and Marvin Mims and why haven't they made any announcements about their futures? What did things look lik…

Even though we haven't talked to a football player since the end of the regular season, there's not been a time when this much is happening between the end of the season and a bowl game. The Sooners are picking up commitments from the portal and the recruiting trail. And they're looking to close strong heading to the early National Signing Day. Cou…

The gang is back and we know OU's bowl destination. But there is so much going on with the portal that we have to start there. Who are the Sooners really serious about? And what areas do the Sooners need to hit the hardest. As more names enter the portal, it becomes harder and harder to track where OU's interest really lies. Also, it's still recrui…

The entire crew is back to talk about the start of portal season. And FAIR WARNING we are not reporting anything about players getting ready to portal who haven't. We're just speculating about players who might be possibilities to look elsewhere after this 6-6 season. We know Jordan Mukes and Theo Wease are entering the portal. And we know Eric Gra…

A little bit of an early Thanksgiving weekend Unofficial 40 as the gang is all here before the holiday hits. We continue to be befuddled by the clock management in Bedlam. The coaches have now had their say in what happened and we still aren't completely clear what happened. The defense is playing well but heading to Lubbock will be a true challeng…

The Unofficial 40 is a man down as Eddie is hanging on to life after standing in the freezing rain last weekend in Morgantown. Carey, Josh and Bob carry the day as we break into some recruiting as Bedlam will be a big recruiting weekend. Brent Venables is sending messages to recruits in press conferences and it seems like some of the biggest names …

Brent Venables was peppered this week with big picture questions concerning the program moving forward. The gang sits down and reflects on what we've seen from this team defensively, where it's going wrong and how it gets fixed. Is this about playing younger players, going hard in the transfer portal, or can it only be fixed in recruiting. The guys…

Josh and Bob recap their thoughts on the Iowa State win and we take a look ahead at Baylor this weekend. Brent Venables had some interesting things to say this week during his press conference and Dillon Gabriel and Marvin Mims are working to get back on the same page on offense. The defense gives us some belief that Venables is starting to reach t…

Game weeks are back as the Sooners get ready to hit the road for Ames, Iowa, to take on the Iowa State Cyclones! The whole gang is here and ready to hit the road to cover some more football. In this episode we breakdown the health and availability of the roster heading into Saturday's matchup. Billy Bowman coming back? Is Marcus Major going to play…

It's a bye week for the Sooners. A much needed bye week for everyone. We look back at the Kansas game with Josh and Bob present this time. And there's plenty of praise for a defense that gave up 42 points. We're actually excited to see this team get back on the field against Iowa State. We breakdown some of the comments by Big 12 commissioner Brett…

Brent Venables took to the podium yesterday. Brent Venables has done his weekly coaches show as well. We took a lot out of both those appearances and dissected the state of the OU football program once again. WE DO THIS EVERY WEEK NOW IT SEEMS! The locker room is on the line this week against Kansas. Another disaster performance will probably lose …
