I've seen the rumor about a possible infidelity and it seems like nonsense to me. No recruiting baggage either.

The BIG XII had caught up to Riley. It showed all year this season and started to show 3 seasons ago if I'm being honest. 2/3rds of the defenses in this league had cracked "the powerzful Riley offense" code and he ended up struggling in every single game regardless of the quality of the opponent we faced each week. Things were going to get worse for him, and us, so the USC offer was timely and a blessing in disguise.

I suspect the DCs in the PAC conference know how to watch film as well as BIG XII DCs, and Riley's struggles will follow him no matter which conference he runs away too when the jig is up on his over-hyped image.

Venebles doesn't really seem like a college head coach, similar to Jeff Scott and Chad MOrris.

Either way, probably a pretty exciting time to be a Sooner. While there may be some uncertainty, it's also a chance to break the mold and start clean with a newly-forged identity.

As an onlooker, I'm really curious to see how y'all fare.
