That countdown for OU football is now under double-digits. Keep chugging along, you’re almost there.

OU has finished preseason camp and now the Sooners are moving toward game preparation. We’ve learned a lot in the last three weeks, but do we have all the answers?

Head coach Brent Venables allowed a lot access, which has given everybody just a bit more of a glimpse to what to expect in 2025. A lot of names are returning, and we’re almost there in terms of an initial depth chart. Keep chugging along. You even have some fun Week 0 games to try to get you ready for the real thing.

It was a normal football pod until… an Oklahoma radio legend stopped by the office. It was time for Al Eschbach to join the podcast.

Listen to Al and everyone else break it down in this week’s edition of the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.

Murdock summary:

It started out like just another Unofficial 40 podcast in studio. And then after 30 minutes, Al Eschbach just decided to drop by the studios unannounced. So we did what we always do when people come into the studio during a pod. We put him on the air and talked some OU football and the future of OU’s offense along with the future of Brent Venables.

What is going on in Auburn with their offense and Jackson Arnold? We of course get into some recruiting with Josh McCuistion, but we’re still a little bit in awe of The Legend, Al Eschbach coming on the pod with us for the first time. We even hit on the state of media, Al’s vacations and how much longer he’s going to keep doing this radio stuff.

All that and all the banter you’ve come to expect from the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.
