BREAKING: Lincoln Riley leaving OU for USC

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

If they stayed in the Big 12 sure, but joining the SEC? Death sentence for the program's playoff chances.

USC you get one of the best environments in US sports, great facilities, home of many top tier recruits. Is he gonna lock down California? No, because I truly believe the days of in-state schools locking down recruitment are over. But he has the opportunity to dominate the Pac 12 and be in the playoff conversation yearly...while living in southern California, instead of fukking Oklahoma.

And most importantly, the spoils of winning at USC >>>>>>>>>> winning at oklahoma

the notre dame / usc bush push game is more iconic than every red river shootout ever, including this year’s classic, and usc’s coaches that dont SUCK go on to have even greater opportunities

I think I need to make a thread about SEC expansion and ESPN getting the SEC rights

It’s going to feel like the SEC is a different sport and people are going to be mad

the SEC will be the "Hollywood" of the college football world

thank you Baylor and Okie St!

This dude is trolling

Breh said let me get the fukk out the country i need a vacation and some sun

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Dude wanted no parts of the SEC…

 

[Silkk]

It's official. Welcome back to primetime USC.

I really want to know the timeline of everything

Caleb William's gotta be going with Lincoln.

I still think Chip is in the driver seat right now and building something nice at UCLA. Lincoln will have his work cut out recruiting wise.

I think we’re about to see a case where only an undefeated pac 12 champion will have shot at the playoffs and 2 loss sec teams are in after OU and Texas come over

people have a right to be mad but this ESPN/SEC expansion won’t be fair

If it's a 12 team playoff, which is the most common rumor so far, it's a moot point. Pac 12 champ will get in alongside 2, possibly 3 SEC teams. But on the other hand, a 12 team playoff with Oklahoma in the SEC almost certainly guarantees they miss the playoffs more often than no. So it's a good move to me. Maybe things would be different if Texas and Oklahoma did the smart thing and joined the Big Ten.

In an ideal world where the expansion is 6 instead of 12, it's gonna often boil down to

SEC champ
Big Ten champ
Pac 12 champ
ACC champ
SEC runner up
Big 12 champ
(with Notre Dame's coward ass sneaking in every now than then, a team like Cincy getting in sometimes, etc)

To me that makes college football better by spreading out 5 star recruits and also making conference championships matter more. Seems like Oklahoma and Texas willingly through themselves into the bushes for no reason.

 

[pete clemenza]

Hell of a hire

 

[Rekkapryde]

Arizona is a better job than Miss state?

the sec is where it’s at. Real ones know

There’s only one team in SEC with a losing record

Some of the fanbases have hit delusional status and that's the problem

Caleb parent’s are OU alum So it would be surprising

I think Mark Stoops would be a great hire for OU
