The first part of talking season is done for OU football. The Sooners had their day to shine Wednesday at SEC media days in Atlanta.

It went as well as expected. Slowly but surely, everybody is getting back to buying in with what Brent Venables is selling.

A day talking to quarterback John Mateer might be able to do that to you. He was ready for his moment, and we’re getting closer.

But until we get to preseason camp, let’s recap it all. It’s time for the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop to break it all down.

The defense is set to be as good as it has been. And if Mateer and Ben Arbuckle can truly unlock this offense, look out. This season could become a lot of fun very quickly.

Murdock summary:

Brace yourselves Sooner fans. There is a member of the Scoop crew who is high on the hopium after SEC Media Days. We take a look back at what we learned from OU’s trip to Atlanta for talking season. And we learned that a lot of national media is high on the Sooners heading into 2025. Granted, hearts have been broken around here and we’re coming off one of the worst seasons in recent OU history. But are the national people seeing something we’re just not allowing ourselves to see? John Mateer was definitely one of the biggest stars in Atlanta. We’ve catch up on recruiting with Josh and find out what’s left the rest of the way. Is OU trying to crack open some opportunities with players already looking elsewhere? It’s just a massive edition of the Unofficial 40 with plenty of talk throughout about the upcoming season.

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