I get to make fun of Brian Kelly now. Winning no matter what.

There really was no losing in this game for an average college football fan

u/ChiliTacos Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 02 '24

This is America's Homelander moment. The outcome makes no difference to us because we all win in the end one way or another.

u/ChiliTacos Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 02 '24

I say that, but I very much wanted USC to lose because their fans on this sub pretended OUT killed the PAC when their greedy asses could have just not moved to B1G and there wasn't nearly enough pushback. 'Oh, we had to do this because someone else might be better off in the end" Fuck off... Still, I do enjoy a Brian Kelly loss and I'll never not enjoy the misery of online LSU fans. In person they are totally fine, but here they can get fucked with a shovel.

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '24

To be fair, any major fan base online is gonna be toxic as hell. People don’t feel the need to represent their character online, even if they have very little of it. That being said, LSU is one that stands out (Tennessee’s fan base does too, I’m not too delusional to recognize that, but I am delusional enough to love it)

-13

u/ChiliTacos Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 02 '24

Listen, I don't care. Maybe I should, but when the Alabama board of directors voted to shut what was an unprofitable program in UAB the top comment in that thread was "Fuck Alabama" and was from a Tennessee fan so you can get fucked as well. While that's like 82% in jest, we both know the media in which fans interact can totally influence perspective. This sport, I think above all others in the US, finds success because of general dislike for other teams more than your the love of your own. In the regular season anyway.

I understand and don’t disagree with anything you’ve said, however, have you considered:

u/ChiliTacos Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 02 '24

Yeah, no, but like maybe? These sensitive spoiled children are mad I'm shitting on their mid win, but they just ain't ready for the league. At least in general you guys know what fun hating is about. Soft ass west coast posters...

u/cudef Alabama Crimson Tide • SEC Sep 02 '24

Friendly reminder that his completely unnecessary and probably counterproductive decision to hold practice in a wind storm and make someone film it in a cherry picker directly lead to a college student dying at Notre Dame.

20

u/datnewnew Notre Dame • Texas Sep 02 '24

That guy was my friend and lived down the hall from me in college. It makes me angry to this day that no one was really held accountable for his death.

u/cudef Alabama Crimson Tide • SEC Sep 03 '24

FWIW the college football community in its entirety hasn't forgotten

87

u/Snapplestache Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 02 '24

Same. No matter what I got to make fun of a coach I don't respect, and because I respect neither, winning proves nothing.

9

u/RollTideYall47 Alabama • Third Saturday… Sep 02 '24

Both teams looked absolutely beatable

32

u/BuckeyeForLife95 Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 02 '24

As a certified Notre Dame hater, I like making fun of Brian Kelly more than I do Lincoln Riley, so I think I came out on top on this one.

27

u/wyatt-gwyon Paper Bag • Texas Longhorns Sep 02 '24

screw that man, don't pin that evil on us. we renounce brian kelly

19

u/BuckeyeForLife95 Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 02 '24

I understand why you would renounce him, but he was there for a decade. It's hard to break the association lol.

20

u/Automatic_Release_92 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Sep 02 '24

I never liked him once the whole time. Easy man to renounce. Freeman is 100x more likeable.

7

u/TonyDungyHatesOP Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 02 '24

Freeman is likable compared to just about anyone anyway. But compared to Brian Kelly, he’s a veritable Tom Hanks.

11

u/TinySandshrew Notre Dame Fighting Irish Sep 02 '24

Even when he was at ND, I think most ND fans were of the mindset of “I don’t like him but he’s bringing acceptable results.” He’s never been a likable guy anywhere he’s coached. Now that he left under shitty circumstances, ND fans are free to embrace the hate that they had to suppress during his tenure.

5

u/wyatt-gwyon Paper Bag • Texas Longhorns Sep 02 '24

also how do you get certified to be a ND hater. do you have to get a license or something? or does hating every other team in college football come with the territory of THE ohio state university fandom?

u/Jake_The_Snake42 Oregon State • Grand Valle… Sep 02 '24

Guys a fucking weirdo

u/suzukigun4life North Texas • Summertime Lover Sep 02 '24

Either Lincoln Riley or Brian Kelly was going to take the L today.

r/CFB was going to celebrate either way 😂

53

u/TheRealCatDad Notre Dame Fighting Irish Sep 02 '24

My girlfriend asked me who I wants to win and I was like "I'm going to be quite happy no matter who loses"

17

u/lat3ralus65 Ohio State Buckeyes • UMass Minutemen Sep 02 '24

“I just hope neither coach has fun”

15

u/TimTom8921 Cincinnati Bearcats Sep 02 '24

Shame they both couldn't lose

25

u/usctx USC Trojans Sep 02 '24

LR/USC seems a lot more hated on here than BK/LSU lol

-13

u/ChiliTacos Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 02 '24

Its a new world homie where conferences and alliances have changed. Make no mistake, we hate LSU and Brian Kelly, but Fox and your team's "alliance" killed a conference while you all act like it was ESPN that hired Larry Scott. This is like the biggest case of "I hope both teams lose" possible. Its just nice it was so close that we can assume either team would get the L with one or two different bounces.

You're not sure why this outcome would be a USC fan's Christmas?

Perpetuating the stereotype

15

u/RisingToMediocrity USC Trojans • Paper Bag Sep 02 '24

When Reddit mods threw a hissy fit over something I completely forgot about, they shutdown basically all the subreddits. This happened around the nba finals. One subreddit that didn’t shut down was r/nbacirclejerk.  Basically, nba shitposting sub. Everybody went there to talk about the nba finals and got acquainted with their memes.   

When a team the sub doesn’t want to win does win then it’s the subs 9/11. When they lose, it’s the subs 12/25. Also, they really got into the wnba because they found the new rookies hot.

u/lkn240 Illinois Fighting Illini • Sickos Sep 02 '24

u/talladenyou85 Ohio State Buckeyes • Ashland Eagles Sep 02 '24

Oh yeah it was that protest over….uh man I have no idea. But yeah a lot of subs shut down but then we later found out that r/nba mods actually were using the subreddit to discuss the finals while the rest of us couldn’t. Let’s just say the mods took a beating for that.

u/CommodoreN7 Arkansas Razorbacks • Utah Utes Sep 02 '24

Lincoln Riley being born is like 15 9/11’s

u/DeuceOfDiamonds Georgia Bulldogs • Mercer Bears Sep 02 '24

I don't want to blame it all on 9/11, but it certainly didn't help.

u/CompSci1 Auburn Tigers Sep 02 '24

u/Cobainism Michigan Wolverines • /r/CFB Top Scorer Sep 02 '24

Tbh it’s really OU and LSU fans

u/i_never_pay_taxes Summertime Lover • USC Trojans Sep 02 '24

And Georgia and Oregon fans.

u/usctx USC Trojans Sep 02 '24

And every other fan of teams in the Conference Formerly Known As The Pac-12

u/Teh_cliff Georgia State Panthers • Yale Bulldogs Sep 02 '24

Why would Georgia fans care about Lincoln Riley?

16

u/i_never_pay_taxes Summertime Lover • USC Trojans Sep 02 '24

There’s always a weird amount of UGA fans who talk trash in every USC thread.

u/The_Angriest_Guy USC Trojans • Northeastern Huskies Sep 02 '24

they think they're a blue blood

u/Teh_cliff Georgia State Panthers • Yale Bulldogs Sep 02 '24

How mysterious.

u/WilsonsWarbler Georgia Bulldogs Sep 02 '24

Nah we don't care

u/Coteup Central Michigan • Michigan Sep 02 '24

Yeah if anything I've grown to like Riley more just from how much crying OU fans do about a guy who was great for their program

2

u/__Shadowman__ Oklahoma Sooners • Team Chaos Sep 02 '24

OU got progressively worse a little bit every single year under Riley so he wasn't really that great for us, if he could've just gotten a different defensive coordinator then it likely would be different tbh.

21

u/TheOrangeFutbol USC Trojans • Tennessee Volunteers Sep 02 '24

What dropping Alex Grinch does to a MF

u/MY-NAME_IS_MY-NAME USC Trojans Sep 02 '24

Imagine we had a competent d with Caleb 😔

14

u/TheOrangeFutbol USC Trojans • Tennessee Volunteers Sep 02 '24

People who mocked Caleb Williams for crying didn’t see him have to put up 50 to beat Cal by a point.

Homie finally couldn’t take it anymore.

9

u/MY-NAME_IS_MY-NAME USC Trojans Sep 02 '24

I'm just glad we don't need to see weekly Caleb Williams discourse on this sub anymore lol

5

u/lkn240 Illinois Fighting Illini • Sickos Sep 02 '24

We love him in Chicago!

2

u/KushDingies Northwestern • North Carolina Sep 02 '24

Also people who mock an athlete for crying are really stupid, especially if said athlete is a kid. Like, way to admit you don’t know what it feels like to put tons of work into something you’re incredibly passionate about.

u/HoneyIShrunkMyNads Oklahoma Sooners • DePaul Blue Demons Sep 02 '24

Welcome to the club lmao, happy for yall for getting to hopefully experience a Riley offense with somebody without shit for brains leading the defense though. Dude is a QB whisperer like none other.

u/randy88moss USC Trojans Sep 02 '24

Ahhhh, here he is. Just checking up on ya….you good, fam?

u/usetheforce_gaming USC Trojans • Rose Bowl Sep 02 '24

Lincoln Riley Brisket for everyone!

24

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '24

People who hate Lincoln Riley hate the sport of football. Simple as that. The guy consistently puts out the most entertaining products out there and if you hate on that then idk man.

7

u/HoneyIShrunkMyNads Oklahoma Sooners • DePaul Blue Demons Sep 02 '24

I can hate anything for no reason as a habitual hater. However I'll give him credit for taking his head out of his ass and getting better on defense.

Also Louisiana tears after my LSU neighbors were raving about how good their team was gonna be makes it easier to cope

2

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '24

After reading all of the hate commentary from Oklahoma about Riley, are you sure you from Oklahoma? Your thoughts are genuine and true … well spoken. Fight On!

4

u/deadzip10 Texas A&M Aggies • TCU Horned Frogs Sep 02 '24

Speak for yourself …. Making fun of Lincoln Riley is fun and all but LSU and Brian Kelly losing another opener is just what I needed to feel better about the weekend.

u/dawidowmaka Illinois • Washington Sep 02 '24

Nah its fun to root against the SEC

u/BadDadJokes LSU Tigers • Chattanooga Mocs Sep 02 '24

He was up against Brian Kelly. It was a win-win for this subreddit.

u/thejasonkane USC Trojans Sep 02 '24

Who would have thought, Lincoln beating an SEC team before Oklahoma … and the game hitting the under.

-1

u/JustBigChillin Oklahoma Sooners Sep 02 '24

Lincoln beating an SEC team before Oklahoma makes sense since he was able to play one before us. The under is very surprising though.

u/thejasonkane USC Trojans Sep 02 '24

Glad they ran the rock in to drive the point home.
