Show Notes
It's almost Halloween which means we have an extra special episode of the Unofficial 40! Not really, it's just an abnormally long pod this week. Believe it or not, the Sooners could still find their way to Atlanta for the SEC Championship. No, we are not telling you to book travel plans. Turns out, Carey might have worse candy taste than George. How big was Michael Fasusi's return for this offense? Is the PJ Adebawore and Taylor Wein slander justified? Watch out for G6 football throughout the next few weeks, you may just find yourself watching Oklahoma's next QB without even knowing. Speaking of, what does the future look like in Norman? Who are some legitimate offensive coordinator names if changes were made? OU basketball is almost back! Eddie is already practicing cutting down the net. Finally, we wrap up with a little recruiting talk (don't forget to watch the upcoming Recruiting Report). All that and more on this extra long edition of the Unofficial 40 Podcast.

More from Oklahoma Sooners Unofficial 40
Wanna hear about how bad the OU offense is some more? No? Too bad! The availability report comes out tonight and according to George, it will be another dense one. At what point was this offense doomed to fail? Is it an issue going back 5 years? Shoutout Dillon Gabriel, you protected the football. What are the odds a quarterback change happens in one of the next two games? Who knows! Oh and don't forget, the defense is elite! Josh does have some good news for the recruiting folks out there, not all hope is lost. Also, Carey has some weird text-to-speech program, Eddie isn't happy about it. All that and more on this edition of the Unofficial 40 Podcast.
Fun time is over, the Red River Rivalry win is in the past(we are still talking about it). Was the win enough to change our minds on the Sooners' season? Eddie is all on board, the others....not there just yet. Brent Venables says Michael Fasusi is almost ready, can his return help an offensive line that looked better at times against Texas? Kentucky's defense hasn't been great, but neither has OU's offense. Which bad unit can seize the opportunity on Saturday? What about two good units in Oklahoma's defense and Kentucky's offense. It's also a monster college football slate this weekend, what can we find out about the SEC? Finally, do the Sooners need to keep an eye on Seneca Driver? Josh has your answers. All that and more on this edition of the Unofficial 40 Podcast.
It's a beautiful weekend of college football ahead. Huge games all over the country, but none are bigger than the one that kicks off in the Cotton Bowl at 2:30 Saturday. When is the last timer the Sooners won this game as an underdog? Are they capable of doing so? Brent Venables was not happy with his offensive line group and we can only imagine the conversations that go on inside that building when the film is on. What's realistic and unrealistic for this team? For Carey's sake, give Elijah Thomas the ball! The first availability report comes out Wednesday night, who knows what that will look like. Are mind games in-store? Despite the early season disappointment, Sooner fans will show out, and although they will stick with the Sooners no matter what happens, what about the 2027 recruiting class? All that and more on this edition of the Unofficial 40.
The bye week is here! A much needed reset for everyone after the Sooners 41-13 loss against Georgia. Brent Venables spoke with the media last night, and he is not giving up on John Mateer as the QB1 just yet. Also, he did keep George safe from the lightning. Will John Mateer make it through 4 quarters against Texas? How much is the offensive line to blame for all the issues? Josh's weekends plans were put to a halt due to a presidential matter. Eddie is not having a good day and the Cubs are to blame. We hope you enjoy this rare Thursday edition of the Unofficial 40 Podcast.
For the first time since the 2018 Rose Bowl, Oklahoma takes on the Georgia Bulldogs. Can the Sooners shock the world? Maybe. Probably not though. The news of David Stone's injury shook the fanbase on Monday night, but maybe it isn't as bad as initially thought? Should Oklahoma fire everyone? The answer varies every 10 seconds so, who knows. Ask Eddie. Finally, we deliver the solution everyone has been waiting for. How does this team get fixed? Starts with believing, and most likely ends with wanting to cry. All that and more on this edition of the Unofficial 40 Podcast.
