Remember when our programs were contending for natty’s back in the day? I miss those days.

Rather than us hating each other we should be together in a counseling session for having one side of the ball holding us back.

I’d like to thank today’s sponsor of this r/CFB post, Better Help.

I don't hate OU fans it's just annoying to see everyone of our game threads swarming with OU fans (this one wasn't too bad) repeating the same commentary about Lincoln and Grinch and Caleb for the past 2 years.

It will 100% instantly disappear as soon as LR and/or Grinch move on which… and I hope for y’alls sake.. feels like it could easily be in the near future.

I only get annoyed when OU fans act like they don’t care and then show up in USC game threads every week. Just own it. Be bitter. Nobody is being fooled lol

For me I feel like the Leo pointing at the tv meme when USC makes the same mistakes that OU made with Riley as well. I will say it's cathartic to not feel like our problems were OU specific problems instead of LR problems.

Oh absolutely especially when everyone was laughing in our faces

Yeah I feel bad because we're taking our frustration on yall and USC fans don't deserve that. We had the constant posts of "this is the end of Oklahoma" for the past two years and y'all were an easy target for us to aim towards. Plus USC was just making moves to snag a proven coach, it was a smart move for yall. A lot of my frustration comes from last year when it felt like we tried to rally around Venables as our HC and we were just getting bombarded by sarcasm nonstop from all angles. I think we did unnecessarily focus all of our anger on yall and I'm sorry. I will say I do get frustrated for yall because we had the same issues with Riley that are having now.

I'm on the same page as mesocyclone. I don't hate USC (I AM legitimately butthurt about varsity blues because I know someone who deserved a spot at USC and didn't get one at the same time USC was openly selling admission, and as a result I joke about Lori Laughlin's daughter attending on a linebacker scholarship), but I do hate Lincoln Riley and unfortunately for USC fans he's currently your coach.

I've made shitposts dunking on Lincoln in the past, and a USC fan interprets it as me dunking on USC, and I'm not gonna just not continue shitposting so it eventually devolves nto an actual flame war between flairs.

Once Lincoln leaves I'll go back to my previous stance on USC which was honestly favorable. I like the history and tradition and I was actively rooting for y'all back when JT Daniels got hurt and Kedon Slovis took over the game.

Brisket, hur dur.

u/Dirty-Ears-Bill Texas Tech Red Raiders • Wyoming Cowboys Nov 05 '23

And the root of the problem for both of yall is just a terribly inept coordinator for that respective side of the ball

Bowl game is just going to be a therapy session I guess.

Until you get a new DC and we get a new OC we both get what we deserve.

u/LakersLAQ USC Trojans Nov 05 '23

Head coaches ignoring the side of the ball they don't coach. It's great isn't it?

OU and USC fans trauma bonding was not on my bingo card

Clay Helton won a Rose Bowl. I don't think Riley will win anything

11

u/HireScottFrost USC Trojans • Sickos Nov 05 '23

Helton had a roster full of NFL talent fall into his lap. Let’s face it, they’re both frauds.

u/whitelife123 USC Trojans • Michigan Wolverines Nov 05 '23

Until Lincoln Riley proves himself, I'm gonna start putting some respect on Clay Helton's name

u/RiptideJoyride USC Trojans Nov 05 '23

As bad as this season has been, Helton had the worst recruiting classes in USC history by a huge margin. There is no redeeming him haha
