SoonerScoop podcast: OU comes to Alabama with everything at stake

Not much more you can ask for with OU. Still in the thick of it all in the second weekend of November. You’ll take that every single time.
The task? No doubt a tough one. Time to head to Alabama and take on the Crimson Tide where revenge may or may not be a factor.
It was an incredible moment for OU last season. But if OU could find a way to get it done in Tuscaloosa? That might surpass it, especially if the Sooners could turn that into something more in the weeks ahead.
You know head coach Brent Venables understands the challenge up ahead. But you can also hear how excited he is about the chance to be in this position. Again, this is all you could ask this time of year.

Coaching chaos this, carousel that. Hmm, what might that continue to mean for OU recruiting and the 2026 class?
Let’s talk about it all. Time for the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.
Murdock summary:
The Sooners get set to head to Alabama for one of the biggest SEC games of the season. The Sooners can likely punch their ticket to the CFB Playoffs with a win. Otherwise, it’s hoping other things can fall their way. We also dive into the west side stadium expansion and what that will look like in the coming years. What about stadium capacity? What about people losing their seats? And coaching changes and buyouts have us all asking ourselves what is going on in college football. Brian Kelly suing LSU? LSU saying they never fired him? We’re here for the drama. And how much could the Sooners benefit from the uncertainty at other schools that have fired their coaches. OU is already making inroads with Penn State’s recruiting class. Is there more to come? Basketball is underway and we’ve seen the OU women and men against quality competition.
All that and all the banter you’ve come to expect from the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.
