You can’t get around the lifestyle component. Baton Rouge sucks. We will need someone insane like Saban.

Oh, and the Colosseum is in worse shape than the Colosseum in Rome not to mention that they have to lay a cover over 1/2 of the seats because they can’t fill it up. SC hasn’t done anything for 15 years and I don’t think it will ever get back to what it was because nobody cares.


Went to a game there in 2019… absolute trash (and no beer!). Would not go to another game there. A little spoiled from SEC football I guess

Thats bullshite

Riley knew durin his psot game presser he was going to USC, thats why he could so categorically deny that he wouldnt be the next LSU coach

It just took 12 hours to get the paperwork signed, because no one really expected a loss vs Okie St

Know how I know you’ve never been there?

It’s smack in the middle of south central LA. Even worse than neighborhoods around LSU

agree. These things don’t happen in 12 hours. The lawyers didn’t have a chance to look it over. No chance it happened that fast.


Lawyers don’t hold up deals baw. Get term sheets out there and then bang out the legalese.

Renovation was just completed in time for last year’s season. Much better than before and beer is now flowing as well.

And of course atmosphere sucked in 2019; USC football has been on life support for years now with Helton at the helm. Hence the reason for this hire.

You guys need to stop believing everything you hear on Faux News or One Minded America News and actually get out and travel the country. Hell, travel the world. It might just open your eyes to just how backwards and shitty where you live actually is.

I have and seriously don’t blame the 150k people that left CA last year. That’s not from fake news! That’s a fact!!

You’re missing the point. “POOR” people are leaving California.

If you’re making Lincoln Riley money then it’s a no brainer. However, if you’re in my situation and only making $100-140 you leave when something better comes along, which I did.

I’m born and raised in Los Angeles and can confirm that it’s become a total shithole.

However, what makes it a shithole for middle class families like mine won’t matter to Lincoln Riley.

$10m/year salary shields most of the bullshite. He can live in bel air, Brentwood, or Beverly Hills and not have to worry about homelessness.

All of the things you mentioned a true to a degree but LA is an amazing place to be if you are at all well-to-do. LR won’t have to walk through any homeless guys to get where he wants to go and his kids may get to go to USC for free.
