ESPN Host Slams Colin Cowherd Over His Latest Take Involving Lincoln Riley, USC

It looks like the rivalry between Colin Cowherd and his former network, ESPN, is going strong.

If you watch Cowherd’s FS1 show, “The Herd”, you know that he’s quite smitten with USC’s hire of Lincoln Riley from Oklahoma.

But during his rants about the state of USC, he’s been rubbing a lot of Oklahoma fans the wrong way. And that includes former OU football player and current ESPN radio host Dusty Dvoracek.

When Cowherd tweeted his latest OU-USC take involving Lincoln Riley, Dvoracek couldn’t help but chime in to rip the longtime talk show host.

Colin Cowherd quickly replied to Dusty Dvoracek after being dissed.

Despite enraging Oklahoma fans such as Dusty Dvoracek on a daily basis, it appears as though Cowherd simply doesn’t give a damn.

In Cowherd’s defense, Riley has already made plenty of splashes in recruiting and the transfer portal during his first offseason with the Trojans. And the program appears to have a clear direction for the first time in years.

With that being said, Colin Cowherd is likely going to be unbearable for Dusty Dvorcek and others to listen to if USC actually steamrolls the Pac 12 next season.
