U40: College football, oh how close you are

On this edition of the Unofficial 40...we just want college football back. Good thing is, we are just one weekend away. Let's get deep...two-deep...as in what will the two-deep look like.

U40: Is the decision on Maikkula's backup tearing apart the Scoop staff?

Another day over 100 degrees, but nothing stops the Unofficial 40. We are one week closer to kickoff, and at this point, any college football will do the trick. The guys hit the studio with plenty to discuss, and possibly an egregiously long discussion over who will be the Sooners' center with Jake Maikkula's timeframe uncertain. Josh and Parker have been hitting the recruiting trail hard while…

U40: Is somebody already putting position coaches on the hot seat?

It finally happened, we got a little too into OU football breakdowns as we started going over the offensive positions and what has to happen on offense to for John Mateer to be a more successful quarterback coach. The addition of Jason Witten has been a massive boost at the tight end position. And the tight end room could be one of those positions that really helps turn things around on offense.…

U40: Eddy Pierre-Louis going to SEC Media Days is a good sign for the OL

It is literally the deadest week of the year for sports. Pro tip, always take vacation the week the ESPYs are on TV. But we've kind of had a lot of football thoughts running through our mind watching a lot of OU games being played on ESPNU the last few days. George dropped part 3 of the John Mateer series and it got us thinking... Is there a receiver OU should have tried harder to keep in the…
