USC College Football/Pro Thread
Posted on Jun 7th, 2017, 2:10 PM, , User Since 42 months ago, User Post Count: 15,511Just thought I would start a thread that could house stories from across the college football landscape or pro sports that didn't relate to USC for discussion, from national stories to recruiting stuff. Feel free to drop anything in. You can still make a separate post but I just wanted to give the option for this.This post was edited by chrisntrevino 1 month ago

What an opportunity for young Lincoln Riley, whom peers absolutely rave about. Mature beyond years. But big shoes to fill in Norman.

I mean talk about some pressure relieved. He still has to beat OU but hot damn not having to face Stoops is like finding out your test is open book

With Bob Stoops' retirement, only four active FBS head coaches have national titles: Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Jimbo Fisher and Dabo Swinney.

Looks like Lincoln Riley is taking over.
Bob Stoops told me he expects Lincoln Riley (@LincolnRiley) to be his successor. Said retirement is not about his health.

Recruiting scandal related to all the Fresno kids he got for no apparent reason - my guess.

OU will be better with Riley at the helm.

Grad transfer (6-8, 325) Sunny Odogwu, a former starting OT at #Miami, told me he's picking #UCLA over #Michigan. Big pick-up for the Bruins

They need it -- Rosen got his ass whupped all last year until they finally failed to protect him so badly he got hurt.
...if Rosen learns to stop trying to throw the ball on the way down, the bRuins could see a huge improvement.

#Utah football Head Coach Kyle Whittingham signs a contract extension through 2021. In the last 12 years at Utah, he's 104-50.

Posted on Jun 9th, 2017, 11:43 PM, , User Since 157 months ago, User Post Count: 11,743Weird how the red river rivalry went from Charlie Strong vs. Bob Stoops to Lincoln Riley vs. Tom Herman. Such a drastic change that not many probably thought about when they played last year. Reminds me of 2009 USC vs ND: Pete vs. Charlie Weis then all of a sudden it's 2010 and its Lane Kiffin vs. Brian Kelly.

The 2 best QBs on the local Pee-wee league teams when my son was in 5th grade don't even play football in HS. One plays basketball and the other baseball.
