U40: Reporting back from SEC Media Days and Josh speaks!

Author: SoonerScoop.com July 19, 2024 Duration: 1:35:20
So much to talk about after the gang returns back from SEC Media Days. Brent Venables seemed different this year as the head coach of the Sooners. And it was in a very good way. We talk about impressions from everything that went down with the Sooners this week and more. And what about the conference-wide reception of the Sooners from everyone in attendance? Are the Sooners being treated like a bunch of poors? We also breakdown what we think might happen in the SEC. Who is the dark horse that could upset a lot of these predictions of Missouri and Ole Miss making a run at Alabama and Georgia? And how many people know what OU's record actually was last year and who they actually beat? Josh is back and in action as recruiting for 2025 is coming to a close already. He gives us the latest on OU's remaining targets for the class. We also take a look ahead at what's to come for OU with the start of preseason football. And we do discuss exactly what happened with the audio and camera and George's secret microphone. The full rundown follows below: 0:00 - Welcome back to the U40!
