SoonerScoop podcast: Time for the Alamo Bowl
Time for talking just about done, now it’s time for the Alamo Bowl. Whether you see it as the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024 or something in between, it’s an intriguing night coming up for OU against Arizona.
The Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop (Carey Murdock, Eddie Radosevich, George Stoia) is here one final time to preview the matchup between the Sooners and Wildcats on Thursday night from San Antonio. The start of the Jackson Arnold era for the Sooners.
And head coach Brent Venables is thankful for everyone who helped make this team what it was. Even if a good chunk of them aren’t in San Antonio right now.
“I would first be remiss if I didn’t mention the young men that aren’t playing in the game for different reasons,” Venables said. “I love every single one of those guys and want nothing but the best for them. We have several guys that are going on to the NFL, getting ready for All-Star games.

“Certainly as Coach Fisch and I have had several conversations with the free agencies right in the middle of the Playoffs, the bowl system, it’s a very unique timing standpoint.
“I don’t blame any of the players that are looking for a better opportunity. You got to do it now. So that you can maybe have a little more leverage in a place that’s a very short, small window. Again, from a timing standpoint, not ideal for anybody. But they have to do what’s best for them.
“Have great appreciation and respect for the guys in our locker room, as well. We do have, again, I think every coach would sit up here and say the same thing, but the buy-in has never been higher. I think the results from the season would say that.”
