OT: Bielema compares himself (favorably) to Saban
Bielema, on Saban:
"... he can't compare."
That's not all, but it's the best part. You can read the rest here:

To be fair, they were both ass holes of the highest regard while in the big ten, Bielema possibly more so.
Saban is going to smear Bielema's ass all over the turf. What a dumb comment.
He's going through cheese withdraws. You can't take anything he says seriously until they're done.
What he said is technically true. Bielema's Big Ten record is, in fact, quite a bit better than Saban's at MSU. Of course, it's apples and oranges and relates to stuff Saban did 13-18 years ago, but it'll get the Hog fans fired up.
Well even that you have to take with a grain of salt - Bielema took over a really good Wisconsin team and Saban took over an MSU program that hadn't had a winning season in years.
I have a hunch the Hog fans will realize as much as the rest of us how moronic this comment was. And they will be less happy with it.
I glanced and saw it as "Beilein compares himself..." I had one of those really confused moments in life when nothing makes sense. I was really relieved when I realized it said Bielema.

Bielema was fortunate to get out of Wisconsin when he did. If you think Michigan fans can have ridiculously high expectations, I heard Badger fans tell me all season that they couldn't stand Bielema and that they needed someone better. When I brought up the 3 straight Rose Bowls, they just scoffed like it didn't matter. Seriously, what is wrong with these people?
Go home Bielema, you're drunk.
Saban took a program that was a total joke and turned it into one with the potential to be scary. Bielema was the caretaker of a program that someone else built who left just before it started going down.
In a way, he's right. There's definitely "no comparison." Most people took Bielema's side when hearing rumors that he wasn't getting along with Alvarez. I think they may have changed their minds after hearing this statement.
Bielema is in for a rude awakening in the SEC. I have a feeling that the likes of Saban, Miles, and Spurrier are going to give him a taste of his own medicine when they run the score up on him.
Win games, then talk big.
A few of the reactions to the full article over at Hootens.com are pretty funny and not exceedingly complimentary of Bielema, to say the least, and those would be just the Razorback fans. My own favorite:
"He's going to put a new set of tires on a rusty old car and run it head-on into Nick Saban's Crimson Tide locomotive. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what is going to happen when they collide."
