U40: Get ready for a spring game. Ignore that portal opening.
April 17, 2024 19:04 - 1 hourWe're back as we get ready for a huge weekend in Norman. The annual spring game takes place this weekend and there will be transfers and recruits all over the place. As long as the weather doesn't kill everything that is. We get started today though talking about the portal and where OU is looking to fix their issues. And even as we are doing the pod, we again have breaking news as a major defensive line target enters the portal from TCU. Outside of the offensive and defensive lines, are the ...
U40: Are we worried about the offensive line?
April 10, 2024 22:51 - 1 hourThe gang is back together talking spring football and this time we're really focused on the offensive line and how that might be affected some of the reports we're hearing about the quarterback position. How much concern do we have heading into the offseason? How much concern should you have if the line doesn't look great in the spring game? The Sooners are hot on the recruiting trail once again and Josh is here for all the latest, including the commitment of Maliek Hawkins just before we sta...
U40: Position breakdowns after three practice viewings
April 03, 2024 20:23 - 1 hourThe whole crew is back for another thorough breakdown of spring football camp. We're just off of our third viewing of the spring and we're also full of some scrimmage intel as well. Troy Everett is lost for the spring and the early part of fall camp next season. Where do the Sooners go from here? And what do we make of the offensive line so far. There have been few glowing reviews coming out of camp and what we've seen makes it hard to tell how much of a concern this unit really is. But other...
U40: It's spring football paradise right now
March 27, 2024 23:33 - 1 hourI mean, there is not a more beautiful time of the year than right now. The entire crew is here. Almost all of us have been watching spring practice with our own eyes. We had 90 minutes of viewing on Monday, we have another hour and 45 minutes after the pod today. While Eddie and George did a Practice Report on YouTube, Carey and Bob weigh in today with what they saw and Josh is here as well to talk about what he's hearing. There's just so much to talk about regarding this team. We've got some...
U40: It's DeMarco Murray chaos during the pod
March 20, 2024 22:19 - 1 hourIt's been a little Porter Moser heavy with his press conference the other day. It got a lot more bizarre for those that watched Virginia play last night. But we're going football heavy as Josh has had back-to-back weekends of watching OU prospects in person at Under Armour Dallas and Houston. And we're also diving into what the latest Kevin Sperry movement could mean for his commitment to OU. We actually put Josh on the spot and ask him if Sperry winds up at OU. We were also blown away at the...
U40: Drake Stoops' Pro Day, Zac Alley's contract, UA camp
March 13, 2024 20:10 - 1 hourSpring sports is at it's height with Football, recruiting, basketball, softball and baseball and the Unofficial 40 has a lot to cover. We got to see Drake Stoops and others run their unofficial 40s at OU's Pro Day. What were our impressions? The board of regents met on Tuesday and there was salary news for Zac Alley. What does his salary say about his place in the defensive coaching pecking order? Also a big raise for offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh. We wrap up the Under Armour camp from...

Josh has updates on the Future Freaks recruiting event this weekend and Norman and everybody is headed to Dallas Sunday for the Under Ar...
U40: Spring sports, recruiting is coming and the SEC schedule
February 28, 2024 23:04 - 1 hourSpring is in full swing as softball, baseball are all underway while March Madness looms. The Sooners are looking better as members of the 68-team tournament after a win in Stillwater. With just a handful of games remaining, can the Sooners get one more win to make the NCAA's almost a certainty. The women can clinch the Big 12 with a home win over Texas Wednesday night! Bob Przybylo is here to talk about softball and the opening of Love's Field this weekend. Josh is here to give you all the l...
U40: OU football undergoing a change in operations
February 21, 2024 22:02 - 1 hourIt's the whole crew locked in once again this week as we start of with the full gang, but first we get a little springy as Bob Przybylo is here to talk softball and hoops while Eddie updates us on OU's first weekend on the diamond. George joins the show and we're still talking hoops. Has the lack of support for OU hoops eroded some of the passion from the fanbase? A dinosaur arena doesn't really scream, "We care!" And are the Sooners closer to falling out of the NCAA Tournament field or stayi...
U40: The mess that is college athletics described
February 14, 2024 20:01 - 1 hourFootball 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 already underway and Kelly Maxwell shines as expected. Eddie is excited about the start of Skip Johns...
U40: It's National Signing Day but it already happened
February 07, 2024 20:57 - 1 hourCarey, 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 to 2005 commitments. How will all of this be affected by what is happening with the College Footba...
U40: Texas loss a kick in the teeth, OU making tons of new offers
January 24, 2024 19:12 - 1 hourIt 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 offers that have been made by the Sooners. Josh highlighted 39 new offers this morning on SoonerScoo...
U40: 2025 recruiting is all about the OL class
January 17, 2024 21:00 - 1 hourThe 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 transfers? We're also talking about the 2025 recruiting class that is going very, very well at this poi...
U40: Frustrations over the portal and NIL growing
January 10, 2024 21:15 - 1 hourWe 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 the transfer portal. Meanwhile, Lane Kiffin is on a boat landing everyone he wants. Can the Soone...
U40: Transfer portal and recruiting class will be key in 2024
January 03, 2024 20:11 - 1 hourIt'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 get ready for conference play. What are the biggest unknowns about this conference heading into som...
U40: Alamo Bowl Preview show from San Antonio
December 28, 2023 00:45 - 1 hourEddie, 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 Danny Stutsman and Billy Bowman and return to Oklahoma for another season? How do we feel about the...
U40: The pod where we all kind of fall apart after signing day
December 21, 2023 23:55 - 1 hourAs 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 conversation with some awkward fighting. Carey addressed the whole Dillon Gabriel controversy even thou...
U40: Trying to make sense of the Cayden Green situation
December 13, 2023 23:42 - 1 hourThe 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 looking like heading into the bowl game? How does it look next year? How is this going to get fix...
U40: Who is OU targeting in the portal and SoonerHoop.com
December 06, 2023 23:21 - 1 hourThe 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 of college football and why it wasn't at OU. You can't ignore that OU is taking a risk here. We ...
U40: New offensive staff is set, transfer portal gets going soon

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 became official just after our podcast finished taping. The transfer portal is opening and the S...
U40: DG should finish on Owen Field, but we're prepared for Jackson Arnold
November 21, 2023 23:33 - 1 hourThe 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 and Nagurski ballots. And the biggest question of the week. Will it be Dillon Gabriel or Jackson ...
U40: OU still in the hunt for Big 12 title game
November 15, 2023 23:31 - 1 hourIt'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 Sooners to end up in Arlington for the Big 12 Championship? Also, did the Big 12 plot for Eddie's e...
U40: WVU week brings back the OG podcast. Carey, Josh and Eddie
November 08, 2023 20:49 - 1 hourWest 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 impending doom. Just some level-headed discussion of what we're seeing. We also talk about how the coa...
U40: Time for OU's defensive line to step up in Bedlam
November 01, 2023 19:32 - 1 hourJosh, 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. Oklahoma State's running game and Ollie Gordon will test the Sooners who may or may not have Dan...
U40: Sooners can build toward CFP run at KU
October 25, 2023 20:49 - 1 hourWe'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 the sign stealing scandal at Michigan. Do we expect the NCAA to do anything about it? But we're re...
U40: Back to business for OU football. Time for UCF.
October 18, 2023 19:50 - 1 hourThe 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 ready to hit the portal again this offseason with so many big-time programs having down years? We'...
U40: Taking stock as the bye week is here
October 11, 2023 19:41 - 1 hourIt's the only time during the week that the entire staff gets together for one show.

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. We also take some time to recognize Todd Bates for the job he has done with the defensive line thi...
U40: It's OU-TX. Let's pod mother fathers.
October 04, 2023 20:48 - 1 hourIt 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 line win enough battles? We break it all down and then some in this edition of the Unofficial 40...
U40: Dillon Gabriel sucks? You suck!
September 27, 2023 21:12 - 1 hourIowa 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 replace Dillon Gabriel at QB? There was some strong language in there too. We talk about the future ...
U40: When can you say OU has turned the corner?
September 20, 2023 20:46 - 1 hourIt'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 last season before it went terribly, terribly wrong? Even we may have been responsible for some of ...
U40: We have all the answers for OU's problems
September 13, 2023 21:03 - 1 hourWe'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 sick of it too. We also have plenty of praise for the defense and Josh gets into the latest on r...

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 talk about our impressions of how Brent Venables has changed over the past year as he heads into h...
U40: Excitement and the unknown hit as season nears
August 23, 2023 19:48 - 1 hourOnly 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 on who the best running backs on this roster really are. Who are we kidding, we went down the en...

Josh breaks down everything that happened on his end and we look ahead to how the Sooners proceed.
