Hubris.
These little turd QBs are coddled since 7th grade and told how special they are because mommy and daddy pay Rodney Peete or Bernie Kosar to watch their kid throw and say nice things. So they spend the next 5 years convinced that they are 1st round material because some fvcking burn out from the NFL got paid to say so. And mommy and daddy let the school know that their star QB son can pick up and move to another school if the teachers and administrators aren't treating their son properly.
Jesus Christ I wish I played right now. I'd gladly get booted from every game just so I could put some of these QBs in wheelchairs.
SC typically finishes very strong as they have the SoCal feeder schools in their back pocket. But this is laughable.This may (or may not) provide a little insight as to why USC needed to finalize the deal with Riley after firing Helton and being in limbo since September. This could also explain why Riley had such a strong hand at the bargaining table. I did a double take at this list (Yes, it is a complete list as per their Rivals website): Ranked 99th on Rivals

OU fans have gotta be pissed. He is screwing them over.
Five-star QB Malachi Nelson committed to the USC Trojans and new head coach Lincoln Riley on Tuesday afternoon.
Nelson, the No. 2 overall player in the class of 2023, had committed to Oklahoma back in July but decommitted over the weekend following Riley's exit to Los Angeles.

I'm not convinced it'll be like the old Pete Carroll days on steroids. The current president was brought in in 2019 to stabilize the ship after multiple scandals at the school. The school recently settled multiple sexual abuse cases at the student health center for $1.1 billion. Huge scandals locally resulting in very bad press.
I do think Riley will kill it on the football field. But, given USC's issues, I don't expect to see Snoop on the sidelines dragging on a blunt (exaggerating, of course) or celebs on the sidelines on competition Tuesdays. Sort of a shame because those Carroll teams were fun to follow.
Don't know why but LenDale White was my favorite player from that 2005 team.

Check this out… what a mess
Five-star indicates another Oklahoma staff member joining Lincoln Riley, USC
Roy Manning was recruiting for Oklahoma earlier today, but five-star plus+ cornerback Domani Jackson suggests he's playing double-duty.

While all that's true you still have to coach the team up and Riley did just that. Bob Stoops didn't take 2 transfer QBs and mold them into Heisman trophy winning number 1 overall picks. Let's not act like Bob Stoops was still on the sideline there making in game decisions.
Yep you still have to coach the team but when you have an already made team as a young coach you can make mistakes and no one really notices. When your a rebuilding team and you make mistakes as a HC… everyone notices.
Yeah for Riley to leave in a vindictive way says alot about his character. Dude was an OC at ECU, came to OU as OC for 2 years then promoted to HC making millions, got raises etc. You would think he would go away with common courtesy intact.
There's no such thing as rebuilding a team in college football when you are talking about true blue blood programs. They just reload yearly. There are 3 starting QBs in the NFL right now that were developed by Lincoln Riley, not Bob Stoops. 2 of those 3 were number 1 overall picks. You don't just take over a program and win at the rate Lincoln Riley did in his 5 years at Oklahoma by being a mediocre football coach.
To say Lincoln Riley is only a good coach because he inherited Bob Stoops team is just lazy analysis.
I expect a very Hollywood-flair to the NIL deals that you start seeing USC kids receive. He'll have his choice of recruits, and get to continue in his role as the top program/destination within his conference, something he was about to lose with the pending SEC move.
I find it odd that USC could do well with how liberal their city is but some how UT can’t. Can someone explain? I would assume they have the same issues we have with classes etc..
I think it's more faculty and student body rather than city...just my opinion
USC is a private school. Most folks don't know that.
USC is also where you go to school if you want to be in Hollywood.
Directors. Producers. Studio heads. Agents. These folks go to USC. Hollywood, like the news, helps to shape our "reality". USC has all the people necessary to keep the smoke and mirrors show going so these kids aren't exposed to progressive rot. They'll hit them with that after they go pro-- to guilt them into towing the party line.
I know people don’t like to think there are rebuilding teams in big time college football, but the reality is there are. I don’t care who the head coach or Texas was this year. It could be the reincarnated DKR we wouldn’t of won more than 7 games. This team needed a talent/attitude/roster makeover, and that would of been true even if we had nabbed Urban Meyer. OU is going to have to rebuild their roster over the next couple years now. There is absolutely rebuilding in college football fans just don’t like to hear it
USC hasn’t done well in a long time.
Venables may or may not be the next OU HC. If he is, I'm sure he'll get a good offensive coordinator, someone like Lebby. He would obviously want to have an explosive offense and put a lot of points on the board, but Venables isn't of the mentality that you have to score 50+ points to ensure you win the game. He coached against two SEC teams this year (Georgia and South Carolina), and his defense gave up a total of 3 points in 8 quarters. That's damned impressive.
Helton was only kept on for the last 2-3 years because he’s viewed as a genuinely nice guy, ran a clean program, and the school has a lot of othe legal priorities to deal with.
Yeah. The reason they haven’t done well is a little different though. They were under fairly stiff sanctions for awhile that set the program back. I think Sark probably would of done well there but then he had his issues, and because they really lacked leadership in the athletic department they went “in house” with Clay Helton and that didn’t really work. Now they have a real AD and may of gotten back on track.
I mean their AD has made two football hires. Luke Fickell at Cincinnati and now Lincoln Riley at USC… not bad.
Hyde Park Hussle! RIP Nipsey. I love rap music (not that weirdo rap shit) and even wore blue on my last business trip so I could visit the marathon clothing store on Crenshaw and Slauson and not disrespec the Rolling 60’s. None of y’all know what I’m referring to lol.
That said LA is a shithole. I’d pick almost anywhere in Oklahoma over LA but I’m a middle aged white cat.
Correct. That’s on Crenshaw and closer to $700k lol
You wore the right colors in that area. Nipsey was a member.
I hope you're right, and while the odds are that OU will take a step back from an .846 win percentage over the last five years, I have a feeling that they will end up in good shape. Some big-name programs just seem to have their sh*t mostly together over the course of many decades (e.g., OU, tOSU) and some don't (e.g., Texas).
He was. Really sharp guy in a lot of ways. That lifestyle is just so risky. A lot of these rap/street guys are really smart. Much respect. RIP NIP. He’s inspired my professional life quite a bit.
USC cheerleaders are the sexiest in all college football. Not even close.
Around 2005-2007, there was a tall blonde that was always in the center of the formation that was a genuine 10.
