Plenty of college football fans have a tendency to take the sport too seriously, and that’s certainly the case with the people who went out of their way to leave negative reviews for the business of the dad of an Oklahoma lineman who had the nerve to transfer to another school.
Cayden Green was one of the most highly-touted offensive tackles in the country heading into his freshman year with the Oklahoma Sooners in 2023. He was ranked No. 2 at the position and was able to earn a spot as a starter midway through his first year in Norman.
It appeared Green had a pretty bright future at Oklahoma when you consider their showdown with SMU was the only game where he didn’t see a snap, but the 6’5″, 316-pound big man apparently decided the school wasn’t for him after his inaugural campaign wrapped up.
While the Sooners earned the right to face off against Arizona in the Alamo Bowl, they’ll be without his services, as Green decided to transfer to Missouri after entering the portal (he was raised around two hours west of the school’s campus).
That development didn’t sit well with some Oklahoma fans who were unable to stop themselves from resorting to pettiness after Green announced he was taking his talents to another team.
After discovering his father Reginald works as an insurance agent for State Farm, people started to leave one-star reviews for the dad of the four-star recruit, which led to the man who was targeted responding to them with comments that accurately state “This is a really bad look for the Oklahoma fan base.”

It does appear that strategy backfired a bit, as plenty of members of the Missouri faithful attempted to cancel out the negative reviews with a flood of five-star feedback.
College football is truly something else.
