Yeah, I think he’ll be a fine coach there. It’ll come down to recruiting though, if he can stay within the top 5 annually, the East will be “interesting”.

Good. Fuck him. He was too soft for the SEC and he knew it. This does fuck recruiting for OU in 22 and 23 since all our many high ranking Cali recruits are flipping to USC tonight.

Ugh, I didn't believe the LSU rumors. Did not see this coming, gotta say this hurts. But I would love it if they somehow got Brent Venerables out of this.

USC is such a fitting place for Riley's personality, mentality, and lack of accountability that I can't even be that mad about this. The idea that OU doesn't have the ability to compete in the SEC is fucking laughable, though. Riley doesn't have the ability to compete in it because he is a soft-ass, SJW marching, limp-wristed bitch.
When the chips are down, though, a single coach doesn't determine if OU will be relevant in college football going forward. What matters is if the athletic department recognizes the changing landscape with NIL, the virtual unlimited staff options afforded by "analyst" positions, and whether they are committed to spending the money necessary to be successful at the highest levels. If OU fades into Nebraska-esqe obscurity it will be because our athletic department lacked the balls and the foresight to ensure that football was the overwhelming number 1 priority that it clearly should be.

This might work out for OU in the long run but it will be tough in the short term. Riley is weak shit for being scared of competition. I saw a few recruit tweets already calling him on it. He will have a great offense at USC and then get bounced from the playoffs with ease every time.

It will be impossible for OU to fade away, their admin already has the foresight to know that the SEC would be the only conference that matters. Texas and OU in the next few years. They will grab Clemson and one or a few more from the ACC in the next decade.

Lol I cant wait to see OU and Texas getting dumpstered in the SEC.
The circle jerking going on between these two *rival* fanbases trying to rationalize this move is hilarious. More exposure! To what, how fucking bad you guys were and consistently failed to be as a standard bearer for the B12? With practically no competition??
See, in the B12 there was always hope for UT and OU since they could underperform, flail around every year, and still generally win out on talent (Texas even managed to fucking fail at this somehow). Now they are just going to underperform and be bottom bitch against teams with equal or more talent.
The writing wasn't just on the wall for Riley, it was a giant blinking neon sign reading "Danger!" He made the right move for his career. Shouldn't be hard to do what he did at OU and still be successful enough to keep his job even underperforming.

Poor standard bearers?
OU was the Big XII. No program came close to the success OU had and was basically the only team that mattered nationally for all intents and purposes. If the Big XII was smart they would have done a single goddamn thing to help OU fight the bullshit that FOX was putting them through, but Bowlsby continuously punted.
So fuck the Big XII. It deserves to be relegated to the bowels of CFB history.

The SEC move gives Texas and OU access to the south in recruiting. They will transform into SEC type teams along their front seven. Look at A&M, they have built up great OL and DL since joining. They are just the poster boy for fuck ups and haven’t done anything with it. If A&M, who was a middle of road program in the Big 12, can get a heisman winner and even go 1 loss in the SEC, Texas and OU will become monsters (assuming Texas eventually hits on one fucking hire).
