Soonerscoop Podcasts

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? The entire crew is here once again for another edition of the Unofficial40. The full rundown follows below: 00:00 - And we're back! 5:00 - Tailgating CANCELED 13:00 - Opt out players in college/high school 26:25 - What's happening in Norman? 5

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? Also, we get a quality COVID freakout from Carey who is kind of tired of living media life interrupted. The whole crew joins in once again.

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. Where are we heading? And Josh got his dream pod today. He got to have dad talk and air grievances. It was definitely his day for a COVID therapy session. It got really dorky.

It's not often we invite guests on to the podcast, but Gabe Ikard joins us this week to talk about the potential of broadcasting OU games in a pandemic this season as well as the latest from camp and the latest on whether football is going to happen. 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. The full rundown follows below: 00:00 - Hello and welcome

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. We also talk the latest in commitments for the Sooners who had a couple new verbals since our last podcast. The full rundown follows below: 00:00 - Hello and welcome 10:00 - Elite Underclassmen Wrap-up 22:00 - OU picks up a couple commitments since we last talked 35:00 - A little CFB talk for ya 45:00 - What's the plan for non-conf? 58:00 - 2022 Jordan Hudson commitment

We also talk about announcements coming up as well as how recruiting is working with so much uncertainty surrounding a college football season. 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. Also plenty of off the wall banter as well. Carey's G.I. Joe collection and Eddie has actually watched 5 movies. The full rundown is below: 00:00 - Hello and welcome!

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.

Josh, Eddie and Bob record a special emergency podcast after all the dust settles from the 4th of July as OU finally receives the commitment of 5-star QB Caleb Williams late last night from DC. 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.

The potential is there for a huge recruiting weekend for Lincoln Riley and the Oklahoma Sooners. The guys are all back together and we starting breaking down recruiting in a big way to start this week's podcast. Voluntary workouts started today in Norman and we got a little sneak peek via Bennie Wylie's Instagram account of what it looked like. OU sure is being careful as most players were wearing masks during the weight training and conditioning drills. No Karen's allowed at the Switzer Center. We also talk about Lincoln Riley's comments to Pete Thamel of Yahoo!Sports about the potential of football carrying over into the spring. We don't know what's going to happen, but we do know we're going to be learning more every day now that the Sooners are back on campus and working out. The season is on it's way, we just don't know exactly what this season is going to look like just yet. Josh also recaps his trip across the state last week and gives you some new names to know on the Oklahoma high school scene this s

It's a special edition of the Unofficial 40. For the first time in a long time, no coronavirus talk on the podcast. But we are joined by longtime media favorite Zack Sanchez who gives his perspective on that turbulent spring during 2015 when the team turned in their helmets for the right to protest after a racist incident rocked the OU campus. We talk with Sanchez about what it was like then and what the team is facing now as social unrest in intertwined with athletics all over the country. We also wanted Zack to give us some insight into his days at OU including what it was like to watch Trevor Knight and Blake Bell battle to replace Landry Jones before the start of the 2013 season and a much rumored incident between OU and Clemson before the 2015 College Football Playoff game in Miami. Bob and Josh join in to talk recruiting as Josh has been on the road all week in Oklahoma checking out the top talent in the state. It's a different format, but we hope you'll take something away from our talk with Sanchez to

The Unofficial 40 is back as we watched some local controversy with the Oklahoma State program play out this week while also getting to see what's happening with other schools around the country with COVID-19 cases.

But what will that look like? We talk about Joe C's search for answers as well as the players getting set to return to campus. July 4th could also be a huge recruiting weekend for the Sooners if 5-star QB Caleb Williams joins him. And who else might join in? We also talk about the mystery of Isaiah Coe's commitment and what's really going on there. We don't have him listed as a commitment on Rivals.com. Why? Also, Eddie wants you to know he's the first podcaster in the state to do a show with the coronavirus. Carey worries about karma coming for Eddie. All that and more on a brand new edition of the Unofficial 40.

The gang is all here after Lincoln Riley held a zoom call with reporters yesterday to talk about dealing with his team during major civil unrest. He also went into newer details about bringing players back to campus. How will the Sooners handle things as other schools are finding plenty of positive tests for the coronavirus as their players return to campus? The Josh and Bob recruiting mini-pod is also included to get you caught up on all things recruiting. We're just four white guys not pretending to have the answers. We tried to keep the social unrest talk to a minimum being white and all.

The plan has been set forth and the players will be able to return to the OU football facility July 1. The entire gang is back together and we're here to break it all down.

And it feels like football is about to start happening again. Josh tells us about some potential big news on the recruiting trail and we wonder as usual when Caleb Williams will pull the trigger on his commitment.

FAIR WARNING: This is a completely uncensored version of the Unofficial 40 podcast because we would like to commemorate the first f-bomb ever dropped by our Bob Przybylo in this pod. You heard that correct. When the Detroit Pistons came up for discussion, Bob couldn't help himself. We talk a lot in this episode about name, image and likeness of student-athletes and how this is going to work. What are our reservations? It's not us feeling bad for the schools. We also talk about the results of the NFL draft and the latest in recruiting as well as the recent news of Jadon Haselwood's torn ACL. Also, Eddie is using his crockpot and Carey is having a bidet delivered tomorrow. Sheltering in place has gotten weird. Also Josh is raising a criminal.
