OU's move to the SEC — On Episode 14 of Live from the News Dungeon, the team talks about recent visits to Duncan and Okmulgee, as well as the University of Oklahoma's move to the SEC. (NonDoc)

There’s a lot going on in the news. The delta variant is raging, Congress seems on the verge of passing a bipartisan bill (what is that?) and the governor is back from Azerbaijan.

But, of course, the topic keeping everyone in Oklahoma up at night is decision by OU and Texas to leave the Big 12 Conference for the SEC, which is also a topic during our latest episode of Live from the News Dungeon.

Our usual podcast hosts are joined by Jeremy Cowen, natty dresser and college football fanatic, who recently wrote a commentary for NonDoc about OU’s move to the SEC and what went wrong for the Big 12. We discuss the lead-up to OU’s move to the SEC and what the implications might be. Along the way, there’s discussion of our team’s recent visits to Okmulgee and Duncan, how a urinal first brought Tres and Angela together, and a long-buried chapter of the OU Daily’s sports desk history.

As always, you can listen to this week’s episode embedded right here:
