Oklahoma Today Podcast: August 26, 2024

A new season of college football is finally upon us—practically an annual holiday in the state of Oklahoma. Every new season brings a new sense of excitement and opportunity, but it's perhaps never been more true than this year. OU and Texas are leaving the Big 12 conference for the SEC, leaving OSU to hold down the fort in a conference that has newly added Utah, Arizona, Arizona State, and Colorado. What will life be like for the Sooners in their new home? We're bringing on none other than the Sooner Football radio voice himself, Toby Rowland, on as our guest of the week to discuss just that. This is college football's season of change across the board, and by proxy it's bringing some changes into Toby's life as well. Hear Rowland take us behind the scenes on how the new league effects his work, preview upcoming opponents, and pine for the much-anticipated arrival of an overhauled postseason.

Also on this week's episode, the editors reminisce on their own Oklahoma alma maters, and Ben brushes up on facial hair for podvents. You won't want to miss it!
