U40: It's OU/Texas and we're trying to find a path to victory Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

Saturday was bad. Sunday was bad. Monday was, well, it was Monday. But here we are on Wednesday. Has the doom and gloom lifted? Maybe a little bit. We're laying down our blueprint for an Oklahoma win against Texas in the Red River Rivalry. Does that mean we're fully back? No. It doesn't mean that. What has to happen for the Sooners if Dillon Gabriel doesn't play? How can the defense possibly rebound from that performance against TCU? What do the last two weeks mean for recruiting? Any panic yet? We might be all over the map, but what do you expect? It's just Wednesday. You need at least until Thursday to start recovering. Maybe this pod will help with your recovery. We're trying to believe things can get better. We're really trying. We also breakdown what the Sooners are facing against the Longhorns' offense and we talk about recent recruiting trips. Who will Lebby start at QB? See! We're all over the map.

00:00 - Uh, I guess it's OU-Texas

15:00 - The other side of the disaster: OU offense

24:00 - Will OU recruiting suffer?

U40: A shocker as David Hicks picks Aggies Sep 28, 2022

Show notes

It's a bit of an emergency pod and a pod replacement. We had a pod earlier in the day and were ready to publish and then come back for an emergency pod after David Hicks' commitment announcement this afternoon. But HIcks did the unexpected and announced for Texas A&M. So we scrapped the first pod and came back with an emergency pod to talk about everything we know and how it went down with Hicks and Oklahoma. It was a rough day full of news and suprises. Josh McCuistion joins us as he was headed back from the Hicks' announcement while Carey chimes in with what he was learning in the moments since the announcement was made. Meanwhile, OU has to go to TCU and has a huge game on their hands. Things haven't been going well for OU fans since the Kansas State game. But we're hoping things get turned around starting Saturday. Enjoy this week's Unofficial 40, two times in the making.

U40: OU guards against letdown as wounded KSU comes to town Sep 21, 2022

Show notes

Back and bigger than ever, the boys are in studio to talk about what we saw last week in Lincoln and what's headed to Norman Saturday. It's a night game, a conference opener and it's in GFOMS. The fans have a lot of respect for Kansas State in Norman. Just about every OU fan can remember the Wildcats pulling off improbable wins on Owen Field. But coming off a loss to Tulane, the worry is that this OU team doesn't take KSU serious after they've just trounced Nebraska on their home turf. The guys start off sharing a little story from practice last night that might show where the program is right now from a mental standpoint. Special teams are becoming special again as Marvin Mims is starting to put on a show returning punts. The offense was opened up last week. What does Jeff Lebby have in store this week? And how will the offensive line play against a stout Kansas State defensive line. And OU's defense line? Eddie has some numbers that will really impress you. We hit the recruiting trail with Josh, talk weekend visitors, the current 2023 class, and Eddie and Bob's trips in Nebraska to see some OU targets. Oh yeah, and some death of Bedlam talk as well. The pod is tuned up and running in tip-top shape. So let's get to it!

The full rundown follows below:

00:00 - Welcome back BIG WEEK

16:50 - Wanya Morris saves the day?

38:00 - Recruiting; K-State visitor weekend

1:11:00 - Bedlam DRAMA

U40: Nebraska is just one massive unknown for Scoop Sep 14, 2022

Show notes

The Oklahoma Sooners get set to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln as the crew is headed to cover the first road game of the season. We're not sure what to expect from a Nebraska team that just fired its head coach. We breakdown what we might see from the Sooners in Lincoln based on what we've seen so far this season. Is Dillon Gabriel ready for this stage? Will there be some nerves? How will the Huskers react after just losing their coach? Will they step up their game after an emotional week? And the defense is going to be tested against a team averaging a lot of points. How will they hold up in a road environment? Emotions will be running high. How far can that carry Nebraska? With Kansas State on the horizon, we're going to learn a lot about Oklahoma's readiness to face the Wildcats. We're also headed to Nebraska to scout recruits. And Josh weighs in with his thoughts on Kent State and his trips to Washington and the Kansas City area last weekend. Eddie also saw Jackson Arnold in person. It's a packed show and we're ready to get going! OU-Nebraska is almost here!

The full rundown follows below:

00:00 - OU/Nebraska Week. We'll be there. Scott Frost will not.

33:00 - Can we officially say the OU defense is fixed?

Show notes

It was a very disruptive pod as news of premium tailgating broke out during the pod right in the middle of us starting our own Make Lindsey Street Great Again movement.We got off to a rough/weird start, but eventually we got to the latest from preseason camp. Justin Harrington is all the rage, we breakdown the offensive line and Brent had some curious comments about the linebacker position. By all accounts the secondary is one of the best looking units on either side of the ball. Josh explains why he failed to turn in evaluations in the latest rankings. And what he was going to turn in. Josh does breakdown everything you want to know about recruiting as the season approaches and we can't help ourselves.
