Teddy's ChampU BBQ Experience + Spurs Eliminate OKC Thunder & Texas Tech Challenges Sarkisian & UT May 31, 2026

Show notes

Gabe Ikard and Teddy Lehman recap OU football's ChampU BBQ. As part of the former player panel that spoke to recruits at the event, Lehman recaps all of the highlights from one of OU's biggest recruiting events of the year. In "Football Guys Talkin' Basketball," they recap the OKC Thunder's 111-103 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in game 7 of the Western Conference Finals in the NBA playoffs. Despite a tremendous game from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder fell short of reaching the NBA Finals because of an abysmal Chet Holmgren performance and some fantastic shot making from the Spurs. Ikard and Lehman give their "Winners and Losers of the Weekend": College baseball regionals were extremely entertaining but OU baseball is unlikely to advance, Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek complained about the Razorbacks kickoff times against Utah and Georgia, the Carolina Hurricanes destroyed the Montreal Canadiens 6-1 in game 5 to advance to the Stanley Cup Final agains the Las Vegas Golden Knights & Steve Sarkisian put himself and Texas in a no win situation but opening up the door for Joey McGuire, Cody Campbell and Texas Tech to challenge them to play the Longhorns in week 1.
