Show notes

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 Porter Moser who continues the rollercoaster ride of being OU's head basketball coach. The Sooners soundly defeat Kansas State, but we're not sure what that means. Josh gets us ready as recruiting is getting ready to heat up with 2024 and 2025 visitors and offers starting to take shape. Camps are getting underway as well and Josh is ready to hit the road. We also have seven Sooners heading to the NFL Combine. Who missed out that should have been invited? Also Eddie and Carey's day from hell on Tuesday.

U40: NIL continues to evolve, stick and ball is coming Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

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 hit rock bottom. Is Moser on the move? We talk about the rumors of Notre Dame being a possible destination if Moser wants out of OU. Bob is covering softball this year and we talk about the Sooners media day and what has changed since last year's national championship. What is the pitching rotation going to look like? Who becomes the "star" for this team with Jocelyn Alo gone? The baseball team also gets going next week with media day coming up this weekend. And Josh updates us with the latest on recruiting even though it's about the quietest week we've had since Venables arrived at OU.

The full rundown follows below:

0:00 - Welcome back!

18:00 - Interesting times for NIL in college sports

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 here to breakdown how last weekend's big junior days event came off for Brent Venables and the boys. We do breakdown OU's lone signee today in Taylor Heim. What is his best position at the next level? This coaching staff is also rebuilding relationships with Oklahoma high school coaches and they aren't afraid to make instate offers. It's a little different from the previous staff.

U40: Why Lebby/Bama makes no sense and OU not done in 2023 Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

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 has a full update on what's going down. A major recruiting name has predicted David Stone to Michigan State. Josh gives fans reasons not to worry too much. And we get into the Jeff Lebby/Alabama rumor mill. This is what we've heard and when you put it all together, it makes absolutely no sense for Lebby to take the Alabama job. Carey also made Josh's day by finally binging the first season of Ted Lasso. And the trail of disaster continues to follow Eddie. The office flooded yesterday.

The full rundown follows below:

0:00 - Welcome back. Edward Lawrence diatribe on OU hoops

15:00 - Josh is here after a little basketball talk

25:49 - Sooners offer 2023 Bethany (Okla.) Taylor Heim

46:00 - Jeff Lebby looks to be staying put

1:00:00 - Putting a bow on the 2023 class; Rivals re-ranking(s) done

1:14:00 - 2024 DL David Stone

U40: OU's roster is being remade through the portal Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

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 additions to the OU roster, the losses, and the coaching changes as breaking news was flying during the pod recording. We also take a look ahead at what is getting ready to happen in recruiting. And Josh celebrated his ability to let everyone know that you will never win a national championship unless you are Georgia or Alabama or start recruiting on their level. He hates hope, underdogs, upsets, Cinderella, etc. Is Eddie's broken down Hyundai even worth anything as a trade in? Eskridge Lexus, get ready for your newest customer. Bob chimes in with some major hoops knowledge as well. The Sooners just lost a tough one to Kansas and Porter is left searching for answers.

U40: Recapping Under Armour and All-American practices Jan 05, 2023

Show notes

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 Antonio yesterday. All-in-all, OU had 11 members of their signing class participate in all-star activities and 12 total were selected. We also take some time to breakdown what's going on in the transfer portal as one of the top offensive linemen in the portal has landed in Norman. And he is familiar with a very prominent member of the OU football team. He's a former teammate of Dillon Gabriel's at UCF. All of that, a little what the hell? talk out of Stillwater and an unfortunate update on the latest developments for Porter Moser and the OU hoops team.

U40: Scoop is in Orlando, no thanks to Southwest Airlines Dec 28, 2022

Show notes

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 breakdown OU's chances against Florida State and also the players OU has signed playing in the Under Armour game. Some newcomers joined the team in Orlando and the offensive line needs one more tackle to make us feel comfortable about this offense's chances against the Seminoles.

U40: Sooners finish 2023 class with a five-star flip Dec 22, 2022

Show notes

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 done? Maybe. Maybe not. But one thing this coaching staff has shown is that they will fight to the end to get anyone still out there that can help this team get better. It's our second pod of the week and another good one. We also look at the national recruiting scene as well. What the hell is going on at Oklahoma State?
