Missouri fans flood business owned by father of transfer Cayden Green with five-star reviews
On Wednesday, one day after offensive lineman Cayden Green announced he was transferring from Oklahoma to Missouri, the insurance agent profile page for his father, Reginald Green, began receiving a slew of one-star reviews.
It didn’t take long, however, for that hate to be counteracted with some love.
From Wednesday night to Thursday afternoon, Green’s profile page on Google has received 78 five-star reviews. The page, which received its first review seven years ago, has 190 total reviews — meaning more than 40% of the feedback on his business has come in a 24-hour stretch.

Several of the reviews came with comments punctuated with a “MIZ.”
“A bunch of OU fans are giving him 0 stars because his son transferred away, hoping to offset some of those losers,” user Carter Gloyd wrote. “Good luck to your business.”
The elder Green is a State Farm insurance agent with an office in Raytown, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City. The one-star reviews that had been left on his page no longer appear, though screen grabs by the X account "Message Board Geniuses" show the apparently retaliatory practice aggravated Reginald Green to the point he responded with numerous messages:
