    Getting you ready for the start of football madness next week

    Tomorrow is the annual Fostering Futures Coaches luncheon which has kind of become the official kickoff of preseason football in Norman. And next week when we're recording the U40 we will be doing it just 1 day after OU's official media day where we will talk to Brent Venables, assistant coaches and many players. It's going to be a very fun time of the year. Owen Heinecke was scheduled to have a hearing tomorrow as well and George updates us on what is still going on with Heinecke and the NCAA. There are some interesting developments in the NIL space as well. It is something kind of smart that could impose a sort of tax on a school's roster when they take in transfers from the portal. Carey has the breakdown. And will OU have a jersey patch? What type of company is OU looking for? And how soon does it have to get done? George with the update on that one. 0:00 - Welcome back to the Unofficial40! Football is so, so near 17:00 - Coaches Luncheon on Thursday; Preseason camp begins next week 46:00 - Owen Heinecke hearing on Thursday 7/29 50:00 - Carey talks NIL/Senate conversation 57:00 - Non-recruiting guys talk recruiting 1:03:00 - Jersey patches coming to Norman but when?  Learn more about your ad choices.

    Is somebody already putting position coaches on the hot seat?

    It finally happened, we got a little too into OU football breakdowns as we started going over the offensive positions and what has to happen on offense to for John Mateer to be a more successful quarterback coach. The addition of Jason Witten has been a massive boost at the tight end position. And the tight end room could be one of those positions that really helps turn things around on offense. What is the running back room going to look like? What are Delan McCullough's running back rotations going to look like and who do we think will end up the best player in that room by the end of the season? We feel good about the offensive line. Who can OU not afford to lose along that line and remain productive? And we haven't seen anything of Trell Harris yet, even though Brent Venables declared him healthy and full go at Media Days. WE STILL DON'T LIKE HURT RECEIVERS THOUGH!!! And what about the high school guys? Will someone finally break out?! OK, you see how we can get carried away. George talks about who he voted for in the All SEC voting. And what one player can improve the offense the most? Lots of QB talk in the SEC, general SEC Conference teams and how serious is the SEC about breaking away from the NCAA? Also watch as Eddie cringes as the guys start talking about how different generations view Star Wars. THE FULL BREAKDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: 0:00 - Welcome back to the Unofficial40! Sooners kicked off SEC Media Days in Tampa 15:00 - One of the big takeaways from SEC Media Days is a belief the TE room is infinitely better 22:17 - Question of the Day: Name one player that can elevate OU to the top of the SEC? 31:00 - OU WR group … still some questions but it’s fun to talk about right now 43:00 - Little OL talk 56:00 - All-SEC talk 1:09:00 - Three leagues: NFC, AFC and the SEC 1:32:00 - Recruiting?

    Eddie Pierre-Louis going to SEC Media Days is a good sign for the OL

    It is literally the deadest week of the year for sports. Pro tip, always take vacation the week the ESPYs are on TV. But we've kind of had a lot of football thoughts running through our mind watching a lot of OU games being played on ESPNU the last few days. George dropped part 3 of the John Mateer series and it got us thinking... Is there a receiver OU should have tried harder to keep in the portal after watching some games closer to the end of the season? We also talk about Eddy Pierre-Louis being invited to SEC Media Days to represent the team. Is this a message that Brent Venables and the offensive staff feel confident in their offensive line and particularly the leadership that is developing in that room? Major League Baseball held their draft and Eddie says the Sooners came out big winners as far as players that will now return to OU next season. Someone takes us down a rabbit hole of most crushing OU losses. It's also the peak of the offseason so we wondered aloud, how much longer are malls gonna survive? Learn more about your ad choices.

    We're sort of ready to start talking about the 2026 OU football schedule

    Big 12 Media Days have started and it's a quick reminder that some weird stuff happens during talking season. The Texas Tech situation blew up once again with Brett Yormark handling things poorly in Frisco, Texas during the old conference's preseason event. Oh boy, Texas Tech... Carey, Eddie and George are here with Josh on vacation this week and we've kind of decided it's time. We're dipping our toes in preseason talk. Position talk, storyline talk in our own rambling way of getting going with the start of the season. George has a lot of scenarios about how the season could start and how acceptable that start would be for everyone. George is also getting ready to go on a little vacation to celebrate his first year of marriage to the lovely Erin. Eddie has a family wedding coming up as well. It's wedding season for sure. Just relax everybody, enjoy some football talk as we try and prepare ourselves mentally and physically for the start of preseason camp and SEC Media Days in less than two weeks.
