Sources: Arkansas to hire Wisconsin's Bret Bielema

He's a newlywed, so he won't notice any obstacles for a while.

 

I like it. I like having a dude who's not afraid to hang 70 on a fellow conference member if possible. That sort of thing makes people bitter and angry and a lot more fun. Love to hate is the name of the game.

 

Just looking at arky's schedule for the inaugural Bielema campaign in our lovely conference.

Texas a&m, Florida Gators, South Carolina, Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss St, LSU.

Shouldn't take long to start missing Whiskey.

 

With Bama, Florida and LSU on the road, I would all but guarantee at least two losses from these three games.

 

Believe it. He's a dick.

 

Here's hoping for Auburn to return to competitiveness. They don't fit the doormat suit well.

 

I would garuntee more than that.....they also lose alot this year. Looking at that sec schedule I would guess they would only get 2 maybe 3 wins in the sec.

 

"Wisconsin presented its own share of challenges. The state does not annually produce a lot of Division I prospects, so the Badgers have to do a great job of evaluating and developing players. It said a lot that the team's starting quarterback and top receiver in the middle of this season both were walk-ons. But starting with Alvarez and continuing with Bielema, Wisconsin made a habit of churning out NFL starters from non-scholarship or lightly recruited players. It had a system, based first on dominant offensive lines and the running game, and that system worked like a factory line."

Found this on ESPN website and found it to be interesting. This guy will have his work cut out for him in the SEC. But if the track record continues in Arkansas, there are going to be kids who want to play for him.
