U40: A lot of opinions out there concerning OU's position in the SEC

Author: SoonerScoop.com July 4, 2024 Duration: 1:23:02
What a wild start to the pod this week. We welcome in an uninvited visitor that we still don't know a lot about. But Calf Tat Josh was here for the rescue. The first nine minutes of this podcast are frankly, kind of insane. We also introduce you to another visitor this week that knew all about the Unofficial 40. Let's just say that Tad and Leslie from Orlando are raising their children right. They drove all the way from Orlando and came to SoonerScoopHQ to try and meet Carey. Not Eddie, not George, but Carey. Their children Freddy and Faith are big fans of the show and they have memorized the opening to the podcast. And they prove it in studio! We also take a look back at a wild week of Eddie and George being introduced to the SEC fans through the Paul Finebaum Show. Joe Castiglione had quite the mic drop moment on SEC Now as well. But also, we get knee deep into some football talk as July has started. We take a look at OU's position in the SEC and ask why some national media still don't seem to get it. Or maybe we're just the homers. There has also been some movement along offensive line recruiting and Josh is here to fill us in on the latest. BACITRACIN!
