Show notes

We're just off of Cotton Bowl virtual media days and we have had plenty of chances to hear about where everyone is heading into one of the biggest bowl games that really doesn't matter in the end.

We record before Camar Wheaton makes an announcement and we still don't know if there is one or who it will be? Who will go and who will stay next year? Will anyone join Tre Brown? We got nothing definitive during yesterday's meetings with players. And who else will Florida be missing when these two "play" in the bowl game? It's going to be an interesting holiday as we head into game week with plenty of uncertainty surrounding the future. But the gang is all here and Josh and Bob weigh in on the Big 12 title game as well. Happy Holidays everybody! The full rundown is below: 00:00 - Hello and welcome back. It's the U40.

Show notes

Just before we started our podcast today the Big 12 released their All Big 12 team as voted on by the league coaches. And OU didn't have a single player on the 1st team defense. They were nearly shutout of the season awards as well. We give our takes on how we felt just moments after the release. We've got a signing day review as well with Josh McCuistion and the rest of the gang. What did Lincoln Riley and Alex Grinch think of the recruiting haul? And did we lose a little perspective on just how good this class was because everyone was only concerned with the final decisions of a few players? We breakdown the class in detail on this episode of the Unofficial 40. Oh yeah, and we've got a Big 12 Championship game to play this weekend as well.
