Oklahoma Sooners Unofficial 40

Football officially ended with the Superbowl but several Sooners ended up world champions. Now we turn our attention to spring football. As soon as anyone lets us talk to anyone like maybe Zac Alley or any newcomers. Hoops is coming off a soul crushing loss. The boys try and talk out their hoops issues a lot more peacefully and respectfully this time around. And stickball is here. Softball is alre...

Carey, Josh, Eddie, George and Bob are all here and we're back in action this week. We talk about National Signing Day even though there was no big signing for OU in the second signing period. Should we just get rid of this second signing day? The guys talk about where things stand with the recruiting calendar as coaches have been on the road, junior days have happened and we've already moved on t...

It was a potentially huge night for OU basketball last night as the Sooners took on the Texas Longhorns in their own gym. But the Sooners didn't play with enough intensity and were beaten down until they were out. We talk about why it happened, what it all means and what does Porter Moser have to say about the loss in front of the best OU crowd of the year? We take a look at some of the recent off...

The gang is back and we're talking about the hot issues on the Crimson Corner lately: OU and NIL. Can it be better? And who is supposed to make it better? We usually try and avoid a lot of NIL talk but it's time for the fanbase to get back to the basics on how this all works. Alabama has some big names hitting the portal as well. But would the Sooners be players for more high profile portal transf...

We start out the show with a big announcement of two new additions to the Scoop family. The crew is all here and we're trying to figure out OU's position and standing with NIL and the transfer portal. Is OU willing to pay what it takes to land big-time transfers? Is Brent Venables unwilling to deal with transfers who are seeking top dollar? It's a philosophical discussion about OU's philosophy on...

It's a four-man pod today with Carey, Eddie, Bob and George as Josh has the week off. We talk about the end of the season, assess what we saw from the offense and Jackson Arnold last week in San Antonio and talk about the additions that must happen for OU this offseason for OU to contend in the SEC next year. We also catch up with Bob Przybylo to talk the latest in OU men's hoops as the Sooners ge...

Eddie, George and Carey met up after this morning's coaches press conferences to breakdown the matchup with Arizona and talk about everything they've learned this week while in San Antonio. Jackson Arnold's debut is the main headline, but the defense shows up to the Alamodome almost fully intact and ready to show what they can do against an explosive Arizona defense. Could Woodi Washington join Da...

As you can tell by Eddie's rundown, he basically boycotted the pod today. We also had some audio issues between the 42:00-43:00 mark but it was quickly fixed when George took over for Bob. We hit on national signing day and got into some of Josh's thoughts about the biggest early impact players in the class. Could Danny Okoye be a better player early than David Stone? We had a strange hoops conver...

The full gang is here and we're trying to make sense of the situation with Cayden Green. He just snuck out of Headington Hall without telling a soul and left his teammates wondering what happened. Hell, he left everyone wondering what happened. We talk about yesterday's open practice portion as well as Jackson Arnold's first start against Arizona in the Alamo Bowl. And what is this offensive line...

The OU men's hoops team is 8-0 and Bob Przybylo is here to talk about what Porter Moser has cooking inside the Lloyd Noble Arena (maybe he will accidently burn it down). And we're mainly here for transfer portal talk as we talk over the main targets we're seeing early at tight end, defensive line and even offensive line. We also talk Dillon Gabriel and what led to his decision to play another year...

The full crew is back this week as Carey, Josh, Eddie, George and Bob all take part in the show. That's right! Bob Przybylo has made his triumphant return following his battle with the black plague. He drops in to get us ready to root for some hoops this season as the Sooners are finally in the AP Top 25 for the first time under Porter Moser. We also hit some more on the new coaching hires as they...

The OGs are back at it again this week because it's a compressed week and Bob and George have to write, write and write some more. Carey, Josh and Eddie, the original U40 crew is back to fight a little bit. Carey is fighting with the Crimson Corner on the pod again. Josh is trying to play peacemaker and Eddie is just stirring the pot as usual. The guys also try and help Carey fill out his Maxwell...

It's BYU week and the Sooners set out to see how many refs will be throwing flags this weekend. We're kidding. Maybe. We talk about the uneasiness surrounding Oklahoma and the Big 12 Conference. The Big 12 went ahead and changed their tiebreaker rules, even though they continue to say they are just clarifying what the rules already are. Where does that leave Oklahoma? What has to happen for the So...

West Virginia is ahead for the Sooners, but Josh and Carey weigh in on everything they've heard this week in regards to the state of OU's football program. It's also a throwback episode to the original Unofficial 40 crew that started it all over 9 years ago. So we start from the top. We go back and look at Bedlam and where this program is on offense and defense. No panic, no proclamations of impen...

Josh, Carey, Eddie, George and Bob are back for another full crew episode. We're putting Kansas in the rearview mirror and moving on to Oklahoma State. The college football playoff rankings have been released and it at least gives the Sooners a path back to relevance. But that won't mean anything if the Sooners defensive front doesn't get that chip back on their shoulder as they did against Texas....

We're back to work covering another game on the road and we wouldn't have it any other way. The entire crew gets together for this family dinner of podcasting goodness. And we're doing it with half the building recovering from a flood. Josh trolled USC earlier this week on the YouTube recruiting roundup show and we do weigh in on the public mess that is happening in Lala land. We also talk about t...

The bye week is behind us and it's time for Oklahoma to get back to the business of football. And lately business is booming. As Dillon Gabriel's former school, UCF, comes to town, the offense has some holes to fill with Andrel Anthony out for the season and McKade Mattauer out for at least a couple more weeks. We also talk about the defense who will be tested by UCF's offense. Is Brent Venables r...

It's the only time during the week that the entire staff gets together for one show. It's the Unofficial 40 where we all get together on this bye week to discuss how things are going for the Sooners. Some more thoughts on how the Sooners move forward without Andrel Anthony and who best fills his role. We talk about the elevation of Danny Stutsman after the video that came out last night from OU. W...

It is the biggest week in OU football since... well, since a while. It's a chance for the Sooners to do something really special. But it won't be easy. Josh, Carey, Eddie, Bob and George all weigh in on this weekend's matchup. Will it be the last time these two teams meet this year? How will Dillon Gabriel respond in his biggest game as a Sooner? Will the offensive line hold up? Will the defensive...

Iowa State week is here and we know even though OU is 4-0, this team can't look past the Cyclones and dream about the Corny Dogs and wax cups full of beer just yet. The defense is still worth praising but like most fans, we're starting out on the offense. Josh and Carey have their chances to weigh in on the running back rotation. And Eddie asks the question: Are there really people who want to rep...

It's the Unofficial 40 podcast where the entire gang gets together. This is the ultimate power unleashed on the world as Carey, Josh, Eddie, Bob and George all contribute to this week's show where we talk about the questions being asked of this Oklahoma team. Questions such as whether the culture has changed at OU? Questions like if Dillon Gabriel is a Heisman candidate yet? Didn't OU start 3-0 la...

We're problem solvers. So we're here to fix the OU offense. We all have the answers. Some of the answers may be different, or conflict or be the same. But we have them. Carey, Josh, Eddie, Bob and George all partake in this week's podcast. We talk about the offensive issues, the running backs, the offensive line, the tight ends. We talk about Jeff Lebby. We don't talk a lot about Art Briles. We're...

We have an actual football game to talk about this week! Josh, Carey, Eddie and Bob are on the pod this week as George has the week off to concentrate on some big stories. One of which included the City of Norman introducing a billion dollar arena and entertainment district. Josh takes us through the latest recruiting buzz with a couple of official visits this weekend and a big decision coming thi...

Josh, Carey, Eddie, George and Bob all chime in on this week's Unofficial 40 podcast and it starts off with a bang as Carey is airing reporter grievances once again. But this time against George. We talk depth chart as Josh, Bob and Carey have their go at things. Josh is also here for some recruiting talk as things could be heating up with OU and another big-time defensive line prospect. We also t...

Only 1 more pod before the season begins and the gang is all here with plenty of excitement and plenty of questions about what we're going to see out on that field when the Sooners take on Arkansas State Sept 2. After two more media sessions this week we have plenty of things to talk about. Jeff Lebby had plenty to say this week about the offense and the running back room. And we all had our takes...
