Bret Bielema (HC Illinois)

Bret Bielema was so unhappy about an assistant leaving, he took players to meet him

Arkansas lost offensive line coach Sam Pittman to the same position at Georgia, and coach Bret Bielema wasn't happy. In what was apparently a last-ditch effort to keep Pittman, or get him to explain himself, Bielema took the offensive linemen to Pittman's house.

"This one took place within the conference, and I just wanted Sam to address the linemen as to why this was happening," Bielema said Saturday. "I thought that was the last thing he could do, and he didn't want to do that, so I just took them to him."

What an asshat.

There is a bathroom on the right.

This article was linked in another thread. Eggcorns and Mondegreens...Who knew?

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/20/sports/an-eggcorn-or-a-pet-peeve-part-of-the-sports-lexicon.html

A pitch thrown “down the pipe” instead of “down the pike” is considered an eggcorn, as is “card shark” for “cardsharp.” For those of you scoring at home, an eggcorn is not to be confused with its cousin the mondegreen, a misheard lyric like “bathroom on the right,” instead of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s intended “bad moon on the rise.”

The song is called "Bad Moon Rising". How do you get to "bathroom on the right"?

Never heard that one before. :lol:

It's been around for decades--someone, somewhere thought that was what they heard them singing in the recording. It predates the internet, so I have no idea how the story spread around--might have involved people actually speaking to each other live and in person. It think that used to happen. :wink:

I love Fogarty and Credence Clearwater, but his cajun accent often left the lyrics up for grab. "There's a bathroom on the right," was my take until I got the album and saw the song's title. Big wheel keep on toinin, Proud Mary keep on boinin...
