Oklahoma's Lincoln Riley is a Savage and Totally Supports Visitor Locker Rooms Being Really Terrible
By Jerry Trotta
The unkempt conditions of opposing locker rooms is a very prevalent narrative in the world of college football, and it was brought up once again last weekend when LSU head coach Ed Orgeron lambasted Texas for not providing air conditioning for the Tigers' side.
Well, if you ask Oklahoma boss Lincoln Riley, he welcomes the stank of opposing locker rooms. He accepts it as a part of a game and believes they should be as uninviting as possible.
Lincoln Riley is on Texas' side of the locker room spat. And he has a few ideas on how to make teams uncomfortable.

During an interview with The Norman Transcript on Wednesday, Riley was asked about the sleazy status of Big 12 locker rooms and delivered a perfect response.
"They should be...I think it's part of it," he noted. "Ours is one of ‘em. Ours is real bad. We were in there for a week last year so we got to spend some time in our road locker room.”

The 36-year-old even offered up his description on what's sure to throw teams off the most.
“Then the best is you need to make it as far a walk from the stadium as possible, make the stairway to the stadium as narrow as you can. Which we’ve had. Some of them you’re upstairs. There’s a little bit of everything.”
It turns out that Riley is as much of a savage off the gridiron as he is on it while tearing up defenses with his wizard-like offensive packages. Who knew?
