Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt found an easy way to earn some points with Sooners fans during his annual State of the State address on Monday by taking a thinly veiled shot at former OU head coach Lincoln Riley. While talking about his perceived divide between red states and blue states, Stitt pointed out that a number of people moved from the West Coast to Oklahoma during the pandemic. 

"Can you imagine leaving a place like Norman, Oklahoma, for Southern California — I mean, who would do that?" Stitt joked to scattered laughs and applause. "You'll get that in a minute." 

Of course, Riley, the highest-paid employee in the state of Oklahoma in 2021, did just that after accepting the USC head-coaching job in November.
