Oklahoma Sooners Unofficial 40

Do you want to get ready for OU to take on Texas? Having trouble getting over the losses and need something to pick you up? Then check in on the Unofficial40 podcast where we have plenty of anger left over and plenty of criticism of the OU football team to cleanse your palette and get you ready to clean the slate for Texas in Dallas. The confounding secondary, the lackadaisical offensive line, we break it all down once more. Which team is more capable of blowing the other out in OU-TX? That's always the question to ask before it starts. But that doesn't always mean that team will win. Also hear from Lincoln Riley on the state of the offensive line and the poor tackling. The full rundown is below: 0:00 - Uh, it's OU-Texas Week. Let us solve the Sooners problem. 24:00 - So add Ronnie Perkins to the mix 35:00 - OU offensively; OL problems? 48:00 - We have no idea what will happen Saturday? 59:00 - Importance of OU/Texas on recruiting

Carey and Eddie got their licks in on the OU loss to Kansas State on the Eskridge Lexus postgame podcast. Now Josh and Bob get to join in with their impressions of what went wrong. The defense, the offensive line, the quarterback, the running backs, the receivers. Nothing goes without being broken down after the 38-35 loss. Can the Sooners turn things around and fix the problems before taking on Iowa State this weekend? Also, where is Alex Grinch with this defense right now? Are they mentally in the tank? And the turnovers are still unbelievable. At least, the lack of them. We also hit on the commitment of Jalil Farooq as well as the latest scouting trips across the region. It's not great right now, but a win at Iowa State could get things back on track in this bizarre season. Get ready for another edition of the Unofficial 40.

We're heading toward another real football game... we think. OU gets set to take on Kansas State in their first Big 12 contest of the 2020 season. Alex Grinch and the defense took center stage as the secondary and the defensive line gets a tougher test this week. We also found out LIncoln Riley was not happy about the extension of the dead period and we wonder what kind of fallout no visits with an early signing period will have over the next year. Transfer central with no restrictions? Alex Grinch talked in detail about Ronnie Perkins and how he's responded to his suspension and we look forward to seeing a lot of faces we missed out on in the opener due to COVID. Plus, lots of recruiting nuggets from Josh and a hoops recruiting update from Bob. The full rundown follows below: 00:00 - Welcome back.

Josh gives his breakdown of what he saw against Missouri State as he breaks down the newcomers as they go from high school to college. We also talk about the Big Ten joining the party as they get ready to play football. More receivers are going to be involved this season thanks to Spencer Rattler's passing prowess. Also, Eddie brings a streaming recommendation to the pod that none of us have ever seen. What world is this? Josh heads to Florida to check out Mario Williams this weekend as well.

It's finally game week after six months of trying to reboot college football after the NBA first cancelled their season. It's been a long, stressful road, but the gang is here to talk about what we were born to do, depth chart breakdowns. We talk about what we know and what we're skeptical about, we go position by position with our impressions of what we'll see on Saturday. We also hold our breath waiting for any kind of COVID outbreak that could postpone the opener. And spoiler alert, we won't handle a postponement well. Not well at all. We also talk about our impressions of Spencer Rattler, who will be leading the charge on offense and who needs to step up immediately on defense. We also breakdown the suspensions once again and let you know fact from fiction on how Ronnie Perkins, Rhamondre Stevenson and Trejan Bridges could hit the field early this season.

The Sooners have been reporting more positive coronavirus cases than usual the last couple of weeks. Lincoln Riley seems positive about the road ahead with players returning. We talk about where Oklahoma stands as they prepare for a football season and how much the current positives and quarantines are affecting the team. The Sooner Summit was a big success over the weekend and Josh and Bob breakdown who it might have helped the most in terms of getting them to consider committing to the Sooners. Also, it's interesting to see the backlash from other fanbases to the Sooner Summit. The guys talk about OU's role in the summit as they can't see where anything that happened during the weekend was against any rules. Also, the AP is ranking teams that aren't already playing?

Football is back in Norman as we head to a potential 2020 football season. Since we last talked we've spoken with Joe Castiglione, Lincoln Riley, Alex Grinch and Dennis Simmons. What are we learning about camp? What are we learning about how the virus is affecting life in camp? The SoonerSummit is underway as Caleb Williams has rounded up a group of super recruits to descend on Norman. Who all is joining him in Norman?

It has been a crazy few days. Lincoln Riley sent his players home this weekend and we didn't know if they'd ever practice football again in 2020. The Big Ten cancelled their season. The Pac 12 cancelled their season. The Big 12 did not cancel their season. We talk about how all that happened and why it was Riley sent his players home in the first place. Lots of injuries as well. Can spring football even happen? So much has happened and we haven't even gotten to recruiting. Oklahoma high school practices are underway and we'll have you covered there as well.

We have a schedule format from the Big 12, players seem to be going down like flies in camp and Josh brings us the latest on recruiting. When will the Sooners kickoff against Missouri State? And yes, we are confident Missouri State will remain the non-conference game. Are OU players being courted to boycott by the Pac-12 group? Anything to worry about there?

Well, last week we got pretty controversial with our takes on the Sooner Summit, or at least the potential of the Sooner Summit. This week, Josh McCuistion joins back in and gives his take on what is fact from fiction. We also breakdown the Caleb Williams factor in recruiting and whether it's fair or not that fans are placing so many expectations on him to sign top players from all over the country. The OU Board of Regents voted for raises for all football assistants this week and Alex Grinch is getting paid like one of the top defensive coordinators in the country. It appears the administration is more than happy with the way SpeedD is starting to develop under Grinch. We also get a little bit of basketball breakdown and we talk about COVID19 and it's affect on playing a season. College football and the NFL aren't in a bubble, but they need to live that bubble life if we're going to play an entire season. Just look at those idiot Marlins for proof.

Eddie, Bob and Josh went to Durant over the weekend to take in one of the best football camps of the summer with some of the best local talent around. They breakdown their impressions of what they saw (well at least Bob and Eddie who didn't abandon the pod this week) as well as who surprised them the most. We talk about restarting the season and more supervised practices getting underway in Norman. And how are things trickling down from pro to college to high school that are going to make this year different. Army appears to be a no-go for fans this year.

How in flux are mid-semester transfers like Isaiah Coe from junior college? We also talk about some of our impressions of early workouts and what the hell? Let's talk some football just like the season is going to be played as advertised. We've got plenty of football talk as well as the state of things at OU with two straight weeks of no new COVID cases. And everyone is coronavirus free for the time being.

Carey, Josh and Eddie are together this week to talk about all the talk that is floating around about the coronavirus and the season. With the Texas State Fair being cancelled no one here is panicking about the season. Lots of steps to go and we trace our way through them. We also breakdown the biggest recruiting weekend so far for the Sooners and the guys talk about why Caleb Williams wasn't the biggest commitment to talk about from July 4th. We also take a minute to reset recruiting and what's coming next. We relive some of the odd results out the Elite 11 QB camp over the years as well.

He joined 4-star DB Latrell McCutchin who made his commitment to Oklahoma earlier in the day to make it a nice day for Lincoln Riley and the OU football program. We break it all down in this special podcast and even talk about what's next for the Sooners and what went wrong with Keon Coleman who committed to KU Saturday. It's not Dirty Mike and the Boys. It's just Josh, Eddie and Bob talking recruiting after a big day of commitments.
