Said LSU stands for Leverage State University and they are the best at it.

Would love if OSU and USC would be able to schedule a home and home, now that LR is there.

We could piss off all the OU fans while sticking it to Southern Cal for halting our move to the PAC 12.

And win this Championship and go to CFP!

On paper this is basically a slam dunk for USC. They get a top 5 (debatable) college football coach, proven winner, plays an exciting brand of football (important in that market), great recruiter…

Instantly grabs them big headlines and excites the alumni, fan base and media (both local and national).

So, what’s the potential downside? What could make this hire more like Tom Herman than Pete Carroll?

I’ve been thinking about it all morning and I’ve only come up with two things I’d wonder about until time proves one way or the other…

1) Culture. Riley himself has stated the opportunity to rebuild a brand was attractive to him. Which pointed out to me he’s never built a brand to begin with. He’s been ridiculously successful, but he inherited a staff and a culture that worked. He didn’t rebuild OU (their offensive scheme, yes).

For a head coach with 5 conference titles he actually has a fairly short resume. Who is his personal role model in this business? Will he try to emulate the kind of stability Stoops did, or when he starts from scratch will it look more like Mike Leach’s?

2) At the heart of the “Riley’s an ass” narrative, prior to him “abandoning” them, was attitude with the media and access to the program for big money donors… And former players (correct me if wrong on that last).

Right now a whole lot of the positive vibes in Southern Cal is from guys that were legends in Trojan uniforms.

Riley may be as talented a coach as Pete Carroll, but he’s a very different man. You might could make a strong case that Carroll’s personality was as big a part as his talent at making him a star and that program “the show” of college football.

How does Riley respond to Reggie Bush or Carson Palmer asking to come to practice? Will he build the kind of relationships with celebrity that Carroll did?

I know the first answer would be “theyre going to the SEC, who gives a - - - -.” But, what happens to the Goons still impacts us, so…

Per my OU Legal Council Source. Please save this post as it will be A HOF Insider post. Lebby from Ole Miss will be his OC. This is a done deal. Suck it @southernpoke!

I have 4 tickets in section 329 available (Row 5). Thought I only had 4 going and wound up with 5 so I had to buy another set.

Bought on Seat Geek for $150 + fees. Just want my money back so asking $165 each.

2021-2022 College Football Playoff Projections​

Capital One Orange Bowl​

Friday, December 31
ESPN, Time TBA
Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, FL
Bowl Tie-Ins: CFP vs. CFP
Bowl Projection: Georgia vs Cincinnati
Last Year: Texas A&M 41, North Carolina 27

It’s been the call here for several weeks now. Cincinnati gets through and gets in after Alabama is knocked out by Georgia in the SEC Championship. The light and breezy one-game schedule, though, earns a 4 slot instead of the 3.

Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic​

Friday, December 31
ESPN, Time TBA
AT&T Stadium, Arlington, TX
Bowl Tie-Ins: CFP vs. CFP
Bowl Projection: Oklahoma State vs Michigan
Last Year: Oklahoma 55, Florida 20

Like the Orange Bowl, the call still stands from over the last several weeks – but now there’s a twist. Big 12 champion vs Big Ten champion – but it’s Michigan now, not Ohio State. This could get really volatile really fast if the Cowboys and/or Wolverines lose in their respective conference title games.

College Football Playoff National Championship presented by AT&T​

Monday, January 10
ESPN, 8:00 pm
Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN
Bowl Tie-Ins: CFP vs. CFP
Bowl Projection: Michigan vs Georgia
Last Year: Alabama 52, Ohio State 24

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I know we've all been sick of him at times, but never once did I think we would be in a better position if he is gone. LR just treated OU like a stepping stone!

The fact that gundy has Orange running through his veins is so valuable to us. It will be a scary day when he retires. I'm not looking forward to it. GO POKES! BEAT BAYLOR!

Clickbait!!! But below is what The CFP Folks Should do!
The committee should just go ahead and put us at 4th this week with Cincy 5, ND 6. So when it plays out they don’t have to explain a last second leap AND probably get OSU to Dallas.

it's Venables

Transfer portal. TCU RB. I know, I know…….I still take him. Tremendous talent.

undisputed gold

The best part of the clip is when Shannon goes off on OU leaving the Big XII in the dead of night.

I know for a fact from a guy on OU's Athletic Legal Counsel that LSU offered him $13.5 a year and he turned it down. I couldn't see USC offering any
less than 12 unless they gave him more guaranteed money like Texas A&M did Jimbo.

He’ll be starting the bowl game if they have enough players to field a team! Hahahaha
