    U40: Breaking down what we learned from SEC Media Days
    2025/07/17
    Brace yourselves Sooner fans. There is a member of the Scoop crew who is high on the hopium after SEC Media Days. We take a look back at what we learned from OU's trip to Atlanta for talking season. And we learned that a lot of national media is high on the Sooners heading into 2025. Granted, hearts have been broken around here and we're coming off one of the worst seasons in recent OU history. But are the national people seeing something we're just not allowing ourselves to see? John Mateer was definitely one of the biggest stars in Atlanta. We've catch up on recruiting with Josh and find out what's left the rest of the way. Is OU trying to crack open some opportunities with players already looking elsewhere? It's just a massive edition of the Unofficial 40 with plenty of talk throughout about the upcoming season. THE FULL RUNDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: 0:00 - Welcome back to the U40! Eddie & George are back from SEC Media Days in Atlanta where the media are buzzing about Oklahoma 29:00 - Brent Venables takeaways from ATL 36:00 - Success this season WOULD lead to a better recruiting class in 2027.

  • U40: Things are changing inside the OU athletics department

    U40: Things are changing inside the OU athletics department
    2025/07/09
    Carey, Eddie and George reconvene after a long week of surprises and press conferences. And we're diving head first into what we feel is going to happen inside the OU athletics department. Football is a beast of it's own, but there were a lot of other coaches at Joe Castiglione's retirement press conference that are left wondering where they stand in the new world order without Castiglione at the helm. We talk about the power structure of OU's athletics department moving forward. What does OU need that they don't have? Do they know what they need? Or is that for the next AD to decide. And where with this new AD come from? Intercollegiate athletics, or from the outside world, like business or marketing? THE FULL RUNDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: 0:00 - Welcome back to the U40! Joe Castiglione announces retirement attempting to upstage George’s wedding this weekend 34:14 - Bob Stoops doesn’t want to be your next Athletics Director 50:00 - Talking BALL 1:02:00 - Joe Jon Finley doing it!

    We're back for another episode as the Thunder euphoria has died down. You're welcome Mavs fans who also listen. It's July so we're hanging on and hoping for a quick return of football. Today we caught up with George on his visit with John Mateer as he's ready to run an extensive series on OU's QB after talking to Mateer, family members, former coaches, analysts, everybody. We're not giving away anything, but we have seen the nearly hour long transcript and George has previewed some of the quotes for us. And we have one big takeaway about John Mateer. We also hit the recruiting trail and give our thoughts on some of the OSU wins over OU on the recruiting trail. And we also ask Josh to look back on his biggest impression about summer camps and offers. Are the Sooners being too aggressive? Or not aggressive enough?

    U40: Did a red hot John Mateer help land Bowe Bentley?
    2025/06/25
    It may not have been something that was aesthetically pleasing to us, but the Jaden O' Neal/Bowe Bentley worked out as we believe Ben Arbuckle wanted. We are left to wonder, how much did John Mateer play a role in swinging Bentley to OU over LSU? A Fong Bomb that caught everyone's attention. We finally make Eddie happy and get into the Thunder parade discussion as Carey, Eddie and George all were in OKC for the big event. We're also looking at the wide receiver position in 2026 and how it could all play out. And a little more conversation about how things are going in the front office with Jim Nagy & Co. THE FULL RUNDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: 0:00 - Welcome back to the U40! Thunder won the World Championship. Big deal. I guess Carey doesn’t care as he doesn’t even mention it. 2:10 - Jake Kreul Fong Bomb 7:00 - Bowe Bentley joins the Sooners 2026 class 20:00 - FINALLY! Thunder talk 40:27 - Beau Jandreau & Daniel Norman also committed to Oklahoma 45:00 - Looking ahead to commitment announcement dates 52:00 - WR will be really interesting in 2026 58:00 - Is Jim Nagy college football’s Billy Beane?

    U40: Bowe Bentley at Elite 11, OU loses OL commit
    2025/06/18
    Carey is trying to jinx the Thunder right from the start this week. But we quickly get into the news of the day for recruiting. And that is the decommitment of Will Conroy who flips to North Carolina. We also talk some Elite 11 and what performing well at the Elite 11 has meant over the years. Spoiler, it sometimes means nothing, sometimes it does. Josh talks about the upcoming BBQ recruiting weekend and we're trying to let you know we're not the ones pumping out all the John Mateer hype. We've barely reached peak offseason so that means time to talk OU's schedule. Also some baseball, some hoops and some softball. 0:00 - Welcome back to the U40! Thunder playing for a world championship; 2026 IOL Will Conroy flips to UNC 19:00 - Bowe Bentley @ Elite 11 44:30 - 2026 RB DeZephen Walker commits 47:00 - BBQ Recruiting Weekend 59:00 - John Mateer hype continues to build 1:10:00 - Oklahoma schedule talk Learn more about your ad choices.

  • U40: Stickball is somehow over. Time for summer camp season

    U40: Stickball is somehow over. Time for summer camp season
    2025/06/04
    It's almost impossible to believe. The OU softball season and baseball season have come to an end. Really within hours of each other. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a productive year for the softball team and this team took an entirely new roster back to the WCWS and was just a run away from being back in the championship series. Baseball might have had some more issues. And they didn't make it past the regional round. We discuss what's next for both. We're fired up for the Thunder being in the NBA Finals, so forgive us a little Finals matchup talk. And Josh is heading back to Oklahoma for another big summer camp tomorrow. Oh yeah, Bowe Bentley is visiting this weekend as well and then we have another huge week of summer camps after that one. THE FULL RUNDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: 0:00 - Welcome back to the U40! Sooners diamond sports season come to an end 10:00 - Softball wrap up 30:00 - OKC THUNDER ARE IN THE NBA FINALS 42:00 - Camp SZN has begun in Norman/OKPreps Spring Tour wrap up 57:00 - New offers going out from BV Camp Day 1 1:02:00 - Bowe Bentley official visit this weekend Learn more about your ad choices.
