Title says it all… only podcast worth your time for Sooner fans. Solid information and very entertaining. Only place I go for recruiting and current team info. The squad is A+

Soonah919 · Aug 2024

Great show week in and week out. It’s Sooner Scoop and The Oklahoma Breakdown. Nobody else comes close. Great and timely information with legitimate analysis and great guests where appropriate. Great comedic value as well. Can’t miss for any Oklahoma fan.

CaptainDonald · Jun 2024

Possibly my favorite podcast of all. My one critique is that Carey doesn’t allow the others to talk enough. & half the time he does allow them to make a point, he cuts them off with his opinion of what they’re saying. 4-5 minutes go by without hearing Bob or George’s voice at all. 70% Carey, 20% Eddie and Josh, 10% Bob and George. Can be a little frustrating.

J-Rob11 · Mar 2023

One of the best ways to prepare for an OU game is to listen to the SoonerScoop Unofficial 40. Having all 4 guys on at one time brings a great element to OU football. Each guy brings his own element to the podcast. When we are lucky enough to have Josh grace us with his presence, he gives us an inside look into the recruiting element of the Sooners that is impossible to duplicate. It’s labeled as ‘Explicit’ but still bleeps one word and one word only (the f-word) so I often think “What’s the point of even bleeping?” Then it’s not even bleeped all the time… Ads are sometimes abruptly added post-production.

Garrett Fisch · Dec 2022

Love the content and used to listen weekly but it’s painful with this many ads. Live reads are cool and now they have the automatic ads that abruptly interrupt the conversation. They’ve added tobacco ads too. Who does that? Carey really needs to start weighing the user experience vs maximizing profits.

geektron · Mar 2026

I’ve listened to these guys for years. And there was a time where I would listen to every episode, but the quality has just tanked. There are so many ads and they always come mid sentence and then the ads the guys “read” completely ruin the flow of the discussion. Why not prerecord your ads instead of doing them off the cuff. It’s sloppy and the pacing of the podcast just grinds to a halt for minutes at a time. I also think the depth of discussion is worse than it used to be, but I’m not going to type a novel about that here.
