OT: Bret Bielema Reminds us that the SEC(!!!!) is the Greatest Conference EVER!!!
http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/14488784/bret-bielema-ar…
I wonder what Bret's endgame is here? It seems to me this is his roundabout way of excusing his 7-5 season by reminding his own fan base just how tough the SEC really is. Of course, since one of his losses came to a MAC team and another to a mid-tier Big 12 team, maybe Bret should rethink his approach...

This calls for a POSBANG!!!!
January 3rd, 2016 at 10:35 AM ^
No please don't as I still can't find that Jessica Alba gif!
January 3rd, 2016 at 10:44 AM ^
But only if YOU post the Jessica Alba gif.
January 3rd, 2016 at 11:32 AM ^
Yes that guy! He was just angry to be in the Auto Zone Bowl when he wanted a chicken wing bowl
January 3rd, 2016 at 1:24 PM ^
Dude lost to Toledo and Texas Tech and he's talking shit. Keep blabbing Bret. This loser ran from Wisconsin to Arkansas like a hog running from a butcher. Good riddance.
January 3rd, 2016 at 10:21 AM ^
Wish we could have played 3 Big XII teams. Is there a single good defense in that entire conference

But but according to the article, his team "MADE A STATEMENT" by beating a 6-7 Kansas State team in the Autozone bowl.
SHOCK THE WORLD!

ok, who has the gif of him falling on his ass....
January 3rd, 2016 at 10:38 AM ^
Google does....
January 3rd, 2016 at 10:56 AM ^
....he's a lessor athlete.
Also strange how when going down he went so fluidly into prison sex position.
Just sayin.
January 3rd, 2016 at 11:17 AM ^
A "lessor" athlete? I thought they full-out bought them down there in SEC country???
January 3rd, 2016 at 12:23 PM ^
Must be it. He's just pissed they aren't getting sufficient ROI.
January 3rd, 2016 at 10:01 PM ^
...and my phone died.
What i meant to say was "less sore asshole"

January 3rd, 2016 at 11:01 AM ^
That is the strangest slip I've ever seen.
January 3rd, 2016 at 11:34 AM ^
if you play it slightly faster in a loop in becomes a rather sick hip hop dance grind
January 3rd, 2016 at 2:26 PM ^
it looks staged. But you can enlarge it and you can see his left foot slip his ankle falter.
January 3rd, 2016 at 11:03 AM ^
That's the worst display of athleticism I think I've ever seen. He even falls down like a total piece of shit.

Bert is a classic villian, and he's playing heel here to the hilt. But Arkansas remains a mediocre program, and my guess is that won't change any time soon.

That's only if he were an assistant for Franklin, Oh, you meant the other way around. Link: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/vandy-coach-james-frank…

But his wife might be douchier than he is. Just take a look at some of her infamous tweets.
January 3rd, 2016 at 12:59 PM ^
You'd have to take if Bret was having sex with you every day. She probably thinks they still live in Wisconsin.
January 3rd, 2016 at 12:39 PM ^
Those pain meds you crave have diluted your sense of "hot".
January 3rd, 2016 at 12:56 PM ^
I blame age and years of marriage.
Ok, she's not a 10, but for a guy like Bret she might as well be Marilyn Monroe.
January 3rd, 2016 at 10:39 AM ^
that doesn't impress much at all when you look at the matchups. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they were underdogs in any of them other than Florida vs. Michigan (and in this one, they got totally blown out).
January 3rd, 2016 at 10:49 AM ^
Good point, but don't you worry as drew sharp is writing/plagiarizing another column about how horrible the B1G is and how incredible the ess eee see is, he will not let facts like you bring up get in the way of his point.
January 3rd, 2016 at 11:06 AM ^
Lynn henning already beat him to it. Would be nice to have more than just wojo as the city's only competent writer.

Seems like this happens every year. Having the Rose Bowl as a conference tie-in is one reason. It bumps the remaining big ten teams up one slot (in comparison to where the teams finish in conf) for the B1G/SEC bowl tie ins.

So the Iowa team that got their doors blown off in the Rose Bowlwould have faired better against Tennessee or Ole Miss? I find that hard to believe.
January 3rd, 2016 at 11:30 AM ^
Definitely. Stanford is really good and Tennessee and Ole Miss are solid but not on that level.
January 3rd, 2016 at 11:46 AM ^
You must not have watched that game. Iowa was not beating anyone that day
January 3rd, 2016 at 11:18 AM ^
To be fair, the fact that they're favored in every match up is also an indication of the quality and depth of the conference. They're favored because they're better, not because the bowl match ups are conspiracies. They went 8-2 because they're better right now, not because NW, Iowa, and MSU were the worst teams in the big ten.
January 3rd, 2016 at 12:54 PM ^
MSU had an incredibly fortunate season that lead them to play a team that greatly outmatched them. OSU plays Bama and we have a game. Or worst case Iowa plays Bama, gets smoked, and MSU plays a good game with Stanford. I think that would've been a much better match for Sparty than Bama was. Anyone who watched MSU all season knew they were there bc of a giant horseshoe hanging around their necks all season, not bc they were an actual playoff contender.

It is a stretch to say MSU was a dog to 'Bama, and if MSU was a dog to Alabama it logically follows that B1G is a dog to the SEC. If you don't like that blow out loss to the SEC, and I don't, I certainly don't like the blow out loss #13 NW suffered at the hands of #23 Tennessee.
Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and OSU certainly held up their end of the bargain but the blowout losses of Northwestern, Iowa, and MSU did the B1G brand no good whatsoever.
So while you might not be impressed by the SEC 8-2 bowl record, you should keep in mind that they had a 3-1 record against the B1G.
January 3rd, 2016 at 11:56 AM ^
They're puffing their chests out quite a bit again already. The thing is, they have a whole bunch of decent teams, but only one that's actually good. I'm pretty sure that any of the top 4 in the B1G would beat Ole Miss though. Oh well. I guess this is the price we have to pay for that glorious Sparty schadenfreude.
January 3rd, 2016 at 12:10 PM ^
Northwestern was favored vs Tennessee, but the rest of the bowl schedule was unimpressive.
LSU vs Texas Tech
Auburn vs Memphis game played in AL
Mississippi St vs NC State
Tennessee vs Northwestern (bad showing by B1G)
Florida vs Michigan (game played 60 minutes from campus)
Ole Miss vs Oklahoma State
Georgia vs Penn State
Arkansas vs Kansas St
Alabama vs MSU
Compare that to
Indiana vs Duke
Nebraska vs UCLA
Wisconsin vs USC
Iowa vs Stanford
Minnesota vs CMU
The SEC has four cupcake bowl games where the B1G has one and only two games are played in the B1G footprint, where the SEC has almost every game played in their footprint.
January 3rd, 2016 at 3:09 PM ^
bowl games are either very close to home or, as you point out, in the SEC foot print. if those SEC teams had to play in the snow of soldier field or even somewhere like NY during the winter, their fans would be staying away in droves and their players would be freezing their little toukases off.
January 3rd, 2016 at 2:54 PM ^
Another aspect that seems like it is never mentioned is that over 75% of all bowl games are played in SEC's backyard. UF played a virtual home game against UM, as do most other SEC teams every year.
January 3rd, 2016 at 8:13 PM ^
LSU vs Texas Tech (played in Texas)
Auburn vs Memphis game played in AL
Mississippi St vs NC State (played in North Carolina so this game did favor NC state)
Tennessee vs Northwestern (bad showing by B1G) played in Tampa
Florida vs Michigan (game played 60 minutes from campus)
Ole Miss vs Oklahoma State (played in New Orleans)
Georgia vs Penn State (played in Jacksonville)
Arkansas vs Kansas St (played in Memphis)
Alabama vs MSU
Compare that to
Indiana vs Duke (played in NYC)
Nebraska vs UCLA (played in San Francisco)
Wisconsin vs USC (played in San Diego)
Iowa vs Stanford Rose Bowl
Almost every game the SEC plays is in their footprint and close to home. Compare that to the B1G and it isn't close to the same challenge.

"What people have to realize is we play each other," he said. "If somebody wants to find out, come in and play all seven of us, and see what you think.
"It blows my mind that people can't wrap around that concept. They just see it as a loss. Well, who'd they lose to?"
Toledo, for one. Can't tell whether there's more fat on Bielema's brain or his ass.
At least his division is 2-0 against Tennessee-Martin, though.
January 3rd, 2016 at 11:04 AM ^
The resemblance is remarkable.
