re: 2 seasons into the CBK era… I’m still a little amazed…

I’m not agreeing with you on anything. The only Riley I wouldn’t be too mad about seeing in Purple and Gold one day would be Lincoln’s brother, Garrett. He’s going to end up being the most successful Riley when it’s all said and done. Just watch. Lincoln’s a fraud.
He’s hasn’t won a single playoff game despite the abundance of talented players he’s had. Every time he’s made the playoffs, he’s been literally out coached and embarrassed. Even by fricken coach O He was lucky to have coached in the big12 during a time period when Texas was down, real down, and there was no other tough competition. He cashed in on his name and got himself paid before the SEC or Texas could expose him and make his name worthless… now USC is paying the price and is stuck having to eat the soggy biscuit.
