    Spring is in full swing as baseball and softball are underway, but the Sooners are still producing plenty of football news as Deland McCullough has been tabbed to take over for DeMarco Murray as OU's newest running backs coach.

    U40: It's a national signing day celebration! No it's not.
    Feb 4 2026
    There has been a lot of news floating around lately, so forgive some of us if we forgot it (used to be) is the biggest day of the year. National Signing Day! Actually no one remembered because most everyone signs in the early period and then you have the portal. But the Sooners do have a notable addition in LeBron Bauer to celebrate on national signing day. The Sooners are looking for a new cornerbacks coach after Jay Valai is headed to the NFL. What insight do we have on the hire? The Oklahoma Supreme Court also paves the way for the city of Norman to build OU's next arena off campus. We've got some hoops talk as well. We highlight Jennie Baranczyk's squad more than we get depressed about Porter's squad.

    There has been a massive change at the top of OU athletics as we were introduced to Roger Denny yesterday alongside President Joe Harroz and Chair of Athletics, Randall Stephenson.

We've also got a show packed with OU hoops talk as Bob Przybylo joins the Unofficial 40 for the first time in a long time.

    What can OU learn about Indiana's title and apply it to their roster?
    Jan 21 2026
    College football season is officially over now that Indiana has defeated Miami to win the National Championship. This is a good thing for everyone in college football right? So how did we get here? What did Indiana do that we can apply to the Sooners' roster? Indiana proved it's not just about who is spending the most money on players. It's about a whole lot more than just that. We dive into our thoughts on how they built this thing. And we ask ourselves how close OU is to mirroring some of their approach to being the best in the country. We take a look at the construction of OU's roster heading into the 2026 season and players from the portal who will make the biggest impact next season as we wait on spring football to get started. And what is going on with Porter Moser's squad? They look lifeless and lost. Have we made the decision already? Time to move on from the Moser era? George is on vacation this week. Josh is headed to vacation next week. But you'll always have Carey and Eddie. Especially since Eddie wasn't caught up in the PC North fraud going on in OKC. And Josh is so ready to visit the happiest place on earth next week. Orlando, Florida, and Disney's Magick Kingdom! THE FULL RUNDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: 0:00 - Welcome back to the Unofficial 40! 10:45 - Indiana is the National Champion of College Football. I repeat. Indiana is the National Champion of College Football. 21:00 - How did the Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers do it? 29:00 - Is Oklahoma in a good position heading into 2026? 53:00 - Way-too-early guys to keep an eye on this spring? 57:00 - Men’s hoops … it feels like its over for Porter Moser Learn more about your ad choices.

    U40: The portal is closing. Taking stock of OU's class. Anything left?
    Jan 14 2026
    Carey and Eddie start off the pod by relaying their experience at OU basketball last night. IT WAS AWFUL! Now we're on to portal talk and evaluating OU's haul. Could OU have done better? Yes. But they don't have a $40 million roster to work with like some others. Nagy was in quick and now is out looking for a few needs at the right price. Also putting a wrap on all the talent the Sooners lost in the portal. With what the Sooners have now, what does the 2026 team look like. And when players get paid, there are consequences to be paid. Basically, if you aren't performing and if you aren't healthy, you aren't guaranteed anything in this climate. It's dog eat dog. We discuss. Jason Witten is the tight ends coach and George is going skiing for the first time. He has married into a skiing family. Don't get goaded into going down the black slopes George!

    U40: The portal is swallowing up a lot of OU players. Any concerns?
    Dec 31 2025
    It's been a fast and furious day of Oklahoma football players entering the transfer portal. As we were recording the podcast today, we got the news that Mike Hawkins was entering the portal. And even more came after that. George has updates on potential coaching changes. Josh is heading to Orlando for the Under Armour All-American week where he's anxious to catch up with Zane Rowe and other major OU projects. Rowe, the former OU commit, has long been on our radar since we first saw him as a freshman taking on Michael Fasusi in camps. And we have so many other questions about the QB room and the depth there with Hawkins' departure. Surely this means Mateer is coming back right? And some aren't in agreement about Davon Jordan and how much that hurts the Sooners heading into next season. A lot to talk about and a lot of real time processing during this edition of the Unofficial 40 THE FULL RUNDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: 0:00 - Welcome back to the Unofficial 40! Happy New Year edition.
