Oklahoma Sooners Unofficial 40

We're back, back, back, back for a lot of baseball talk as Eddie and George are headed to Omaha to cover the Sooners in the Men's College World Series. George is going feature crazy on the baseball program right now and we talk about exactly who Brian Kimrey is and why he's given so much money to OU baseball. Carey, George and Eddie are all hate watching the NBA Finals and we couldn't get enough of the Spurs meltdown last night (sorry Spurs fans). Josh is here to recap everything that was in the last week with recruiting and we "sort of" have kickoff times for OU football in 2026. Is there a possible Friday night game out there?

The full rundown follows below:

George is back from vacation and work travel and joins us in the new studio for the first time. So the entire U40 crew is in studio together. Carey, Josh, Eddie and George. And we're excited for the OU baseball program as they head to Lawrence, Kan., for a Super Regional showdown against Kansas. Eddie is headed up for full coverage and we talk about how this team got here. Summer camps are going on and we're bracing for the biggest day yet on Friday. Some truly talented recruits will be in attendance. We've also been able to eyeball some current players and we can't help but be impressed with how physical all the young dudes are looking. Oh yeah, we've got some recent commitments to talk about. Carey has a message for all the listeners about working through the audio issues and the hiccups along the way as we close with George Stoia III's investigative journalism about cat people.

It's one of our favorite times of the year. Josh is headed to Oklahoma for his spring football tour and Parker beat him to the punch by flying out to Florida to see OU QB prospect Brady Quinn. And the week after that, we'll have OU football camps underway. And next week, George will be in Destin, Florida, at the SEC meetings. But for now, we open the new studio and turn the Unofficial 40 into the newest video show on YouTube. We'll still be right here for all you audio podcasters, but as many of you told us, you want it all on video too. So here we go folks. Also, the Texas Tech/Brendan Sorsby thing is despicable. But you kind of have to love it as well. It's the wild west of college football for a reason.

The school year is coming to an end and Campus Corner is starting to empty, but we're still here grinding our way toward high school spring football and summer camps. George also took a deep dive into OU's front office as he talked to a lot of agents about how OU's front office operates and how they are to deal with. And oh man, do people hate Lane Kiffin! And we're here for it. How many teams do you really need in a College Football Playoff? We also attended the Rock Creek Entertainment District groundbreaking ceremony. Carey has some beef. And we think someone is trying to harm George's dog, Finn.

It's the first Unofficial 40 podcast since we hired Parker Thune. Carey and the guys talk a little bit about how things happened behind the scenes and whether or not it was a unanimous decision to make the hire. And why it is we ultimately believed it was the best thing for SoonerScoop and our subscribers. We're headed to the re-imagined Sooner Caravan tonight in Oklahoma City where we'll hear from OU administrators and coaches. What do we think we will hear? Some votes from the coaches on what they would like to see the regular and postseason look like moving forward. What do the guys think about eliminating conference championship games and shortening the season? OU softball is about to have their first game in the SEC tournament. How do we feel about OU's chances of making a run to another title? And is the baseball team in trouble? Josh gives us an update on what the latest is with OU football recruiting. Another edition is here!
