Josh and Bob recap their thoughts on the Iowa State win and we take a look ahead at Baylor this weekend. Brent Venables had some interesting things to say this week during his press conference and Dillon Gabriel and Marvin Mims are working to get back on the same page on offense. The defense gives us some belief that Venables is starting to reach these players who have just cratered as seasons have progressed over the years. The offensive line will also face a challenge in Baylor while the defense continues trying to prove they are making strides. Are recruiting weekends still a thing in Norman? And will there be a five-star defensive lineman committed to Texas A&M making a trip to Norman soon? Is Colton Vasek's quiet a good thing after he was at Texas a couple weeks ago? Bob is here to tell us about the surprise departure of an OU hoops assistant. The rundown follows below: 00:00 - Welcome back. OU football is kinda here. Maybe.  34:00 - Recruiting  1:05:00 - Hoops -- Assistant coach Matt Brady out at OU Lea

Game weeks are back as the Sooners get ready to hit the road for Ames, Iowa, to take on the Iowa State Cyclones! The whole gang is here and ready to hit the road to cover some more football. In this episode we breakdown the health and availability of the roster heading into Saturday's matchup. Billy Bowman coming back? Is Marcus Major going to play anytime soon? We talk about all of our media availability this week and what we've learned while also kind of taking a look back at who has stood out the most just past the halfway point. And just before the podcast started, there was breaking news about OU wide receiver commit Anthony Evans is visiting Georgia. Josh breaks down whether or not OU fans should be worried. We also cover last week's trip to Denton to see Guyer take on Allen and the stars all over the field that night. And Jackson Arnold wasn't the best player on the field according to Josh. It's someone else OU has had their eye on. We also sprinkle in some Texas A&M talk, some NIL talk and Bob has a b

It's a bye week for the Sooners. A much needed bye week for everyone. We look back at the Kansas game with Josh and Bob present this time. And there's plenty of praise for a defense that gave up 42 points. We're actually excited to see this team get back on the field against Iowa State. We breakdown some of the comments by Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark about OU and Texas' move to the SEC and future Big 12 schedules. But really this episode is all about recruiting during a by week, the latest visitors to Norman, and the rumors surrounding players who have been visiting elsewhere. We also talk about preparing for the SEC and OU's $100,000 payday from private tailgating companies. And Bob is here to drive Josh crazy because Porter Moser is also in Kansas City talking about the start of the Big 12 hoops season. Well, exhibition season. 0:00 - We're back. OU can't lose this week.  30:00 - Brett Yormark comments in KC  36:00 - BYE week recruiting 1:08:00 - OU needs to start preparing for SEC  1:12:00 - Hoops SZ

Brent Venables took to the podium yesterday. Brent Venables has done his weekly coaches show as well. We took a lot out of both those appearances and dissected the state of the OU football program once again. WE DO THIS EVERY WEEK NOW IT SEEMS! The locker room is on the line this week against Kansas. Another disaster performance will probably lose this locker room. Meanwhile, Venables is going into overdrive trying to save this team and get them to dig their way out. Can the return of Dillon Gabriel start to right this ship that has gone terribly off course since the Nebraska game. And what happens to recruiting if so many visitors see a terrible performance against the Jayhawks? What are the stands going to look like? Will there be boos? If they lose their will be boos and booze. OU has to show us something. We can't keep living life like this! Josh chimes in on recruiting as well. The whole gang is here. Welcome to your weekly therapy session. The full rundown follows below: 00:00 - Welcome back. Big Kansas

Saturday was bad. Sunday was bad. Monday was, well, it was Monday. But here we are on Wednesday. Has the doom and gloom lifted? Maybe a little bit. We're laying down our blueprint for an Oklahoma win against Texas in the Red River Rivalry. Does that mean we're fully back? No. It doesn't mean that. What has to happen for the Sooners if Dillon Gabriel doesn't play? How can the defense possibly rebound from that performance against TCU? What do the last two weeks mean for recruiting? Any panic yet? We might be all over the map, but what do you expect? It's just Wednesday. You need at least until Thursday to start recovering. Maybe this pod will help with your recovery. We're trying to believe things can get better. We're really trying. We also breakdown what the Sooners are facing against the Longhorns' offense and we talk about recent recruiting trips. Who will Lebby start at QB? See! We're all over the map. 00:00 - Uh, I guess it's OU-Texas 15:00 - The other side of the disaster: OU offense 24:00 - Will OU re

It's a bit of an emergency pod and a pod replacement. We had a pod earlier in the day and were ready to publish and then come back for an emergency pod after David Hicks' commitment announcement this afternoon. But HIcks did the unexpected and announced for Texas A&M. So we scrapped the first pod and came back with an emergency pod to talk about everything we know and how it went down with Hicks and Oklahoma. It was a rough day full of news and suprises. Josh McCuistion joins us as he was headed back from the Hicks' announcement while Carey chimes in with what he was learning in the moments since the announcement was made. Meanwhile, OU has to go to TCU and has a huge game on their hands. Things haven't been going well for OU fans since the Kansas State game. But we're hoping things get turned around starting Saturday. Enjoy this week's Unofficial 40, two times in the making.

Back and bigger than ever, the boys are in studio to talk about what we saw last week in Lincoln and what's headed to Norman Saturday. It's a night game, a conference opener and it's in GFOMS. The fans have a lot of respect for Kansas State in Norman. Just about every OU fan can remember the Wildcats pulling off improbable wins on Owen Field. But coming off a loss to Tulane, the worry is that this OU team doesn't take KSU serious after they've just trounced Nebraska on their home turf. The guys start off sharing a little story from practice last night that might show where the program is right now from a mental standpoint. Special teams are becoming special again as Marvin Mims is starting to put on a show returning punts. The offense was opened up last week. What does Jeff Lebby have in store this week? And how will the offensive line play against a stout Kansas State defensive line. And OU's defense line? Eddie has some numbers that will really impress you. We hit the recruiting trail with Josh, talk weeken

The Oklahoma Sooners get set to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln as the crew is headed to cover the first road game of the season. We're not sure what to expect from a Nebraska team that just fired its head coach. We breakdown what we might see from the Sooners in Lincoln based on what we've seen so far this season. Is Dillon Gabriel ready for this stage? Will there be some nerves? How will the Huskers react after just losing their coach? Will they step up their game after an emotional week? And the defense is going to be tested against a team averaging a lot of points. How will they hold up in a road environment? Emotions will be running high. How far can that carry Nebraska? With Kansas State on the horizon, we're going to learn a lot about Oklahoma's readiness to face the Wildcats. We're also headed to Nebraska to scout recruits. And Josh weighs in with his thoughts on Kent State and his trips to Washington and the Kansas City area last weekend. Eddie also saw Jackson Arnold in person. It's a pa

And what did we learn about Brent Venables as a head coach after game one? It's also a big week for getting out on the road as Josh is heading all over the country this week to see some of OU's top prospects. Eddie is getting out to see Jackson Arnold as well.

It was a very disruptive pod as news of premium tailgating broke out during the pod right in the middle of us starting our own Make Lindsey Street Great Again movement.We got off to a rough/weird start, but eventually we got to the latest from preseason camp. Justin Harrington is all the rage, we breakdown the offensive line and Brent had some curious comments about the linebacker position. By all accounts the secondary is one of the best looking units on either side of the ball. Josh explains why he failed to turn in evaluations in the latest rankings. And what he was going to turn in. Josh does breakdown everything you want to know about recruiting as the season approaches and we can't help ourselves.

And we actually get to move on to football as the Sooners are hitting full stride moving to the Rugby Fields to finish off fall camp.
