We lack the “let’s root for the hometown boys” sentiment that other parts of the country IE Nebraska with its 921st consecutive sellout. But what else is there to do in Nebraska ? Fair enough. I have to admit that I am biased, USC changed my life. I was in attendance as a thirteen year old at the 1995 Cotton Bowl when USC put the hurt on Texas Tech. Midway into the first I discovered I cared WAY more about watching Song Girls through the binoculars than the shitshow Zebbie Lethridge was putting on.

Extremely debatable especially with playoff expansion. If we go to 12 teams then it's virtually guaranteed 3 SEC teams get in every year.
November 26, 20214 yr Rumored contract of $100M+ for Lincoln would be 1/5 of the endowment of LSU. That would be the equivalent of Harvard giving a coach a $10B contract. How sad is it that LSU has an endowment that is 1/4 of TCU's? FOOOOTBALLLLL!!!!! Edited November 26, 20214 yr by SimonBolivar

At some point Trojan is going to decide they really want to win again with the right coach and make this NIL thing work like magic. And unlike corn dog, they are sophisticated and a bunch of them are well and truly nationally connected. They’ll make LSU bags look like the penny ante shit it is, and they’ll start winning. Remember when they rolled in and grabbed Joe McKnight from Louisiana? Corn dog doesn’t go out to SoCal and take who they want even now. Then the LA fans will come back and you’ll see movie stars on the sidelines. The difference between LSU and USC is that USC can decide to play big WITHOUT fan support. It will just take some time and decisions. People underestimate the wealth and power of that school and alumni base. This. I said as much before and you liked the post but yeah. There is more loose change in USC's couch on private jets than any of the current SEC schools not in Texas. They may not care and the fan support fickle but if they decide they want to spend to win, they dwarf most everyone and the NIL money there is huge. Just imagine if only the USC film school alumni start promising roles in movies.

The bag game will eventually fall by the wayside once guys figure out how to write off the expenses.

Also corn dog did grab Eli ricks LSU’s identity is football and sports. That Riley contract/endowment post is sad but that’s who LSU is. They don’t give a shit about academics and their school is driven by success in football and athletics. USC fans couldn’t give a shit about college athletics. I haven’t looked at this closely but I bet the basketball and baseball attendance for USC has been downright awful the last decade. The basketball arena looks half empty when I see USC play.

November 27, 20214 yr If Riley does leave for LSU, who does OU go for? Josh Heupel? Mark Stoops? Edited November 27, 20214 yr by mdmost
November 27, 20214 yr I don’t think Heupel and OU exactly ended with a great relationship if I remember correctly. OU apparently really liked Shane Beamer before he left for South Carolina. That would be such a meh hire so hoping it’s him if Riley leaves.

A few friends of mine that live out in LA, one being a UT grad, told me that most people in LA are pro fans and even then with their sports if you’re doing well they might go see you, but if you suck they don’t know you exist. Therefore, you don’t have a lot of people in that part of the country that plan their Saturdays around college sports.
November 27, 20214 yr @ztejas look! Also, Big middle finger to Sonny for leaving SMU for TCU… next year’s Iron Skillet game is hella personal.

November 27, 20214 yr Best benefit of Riley going to OU is obviously the chance that OU hires a dud. I've never been as scared of Riley as lots on this board seem to be. OU has gotten steadily worse under him, just haven't cratered. He's like a much slower motion version of Larry Coker except he didn't actually win a title. Riley at LSU isn't all that scary because odds are that one of OU and LSU is going to be a damn good at any given time anyway. They could be a lot scarier than with Riley, imo.
November 27, 20214 yr Personally, I think Campbell is one of the most overrated coaches in CFB so I think that hire would be bad.

I’m interested to see what happens because I think OU is going to downgrade big time if they lose Riley.
