"You got to get a kick out of it a little bit, because obviously this guy doesn't know who the heck I am. I sure as heck don't know who he is. I'm not sure we really ran into him on the recruiting trail, but you know I know what I'm all about." -- Florida coach Jim McElwain, in response to Bielema's comment

BEING BRET BIELEMA: THE REVIEW
A long, long time ago, I liked Bret Bielema.
Mostly on the strength of this, an incredible troll move that exploited a one time loophole in a silly rule that was stricken down the following year. I appreciated that Joe Paterno, a man sure to be completely infuriated by illegal exploitations of the rulebook (right? RIGHT??), was the victim of a clever ruse on the part of a literal pig farmer, and had hopes that we'd see more in the way of these kinds of shenanigans in the future.
We did, of course, but instead of being cheeky and fun they became more irritating and annoying. The zombified corpse of Grantland has a pretty good rundown of what Bielema has been up to since then, but in case you aren't in the mood to read two articles about ol' Bert today, here's a quick summary:
Or so I thought!
Because Bret Bielema has teamed up with Arkansas radio personality Bo Mattingly and together they've created the new hit reality show "Being Bret Bielema," a seven to ten minute program devoted to telling you what a cool and interesting guy Bret Bielema is.
"I thought people would find it fascinating to see how he is in his everyday life," Mattingly said. "The more we can show him not coaching football and show more of his personality...
Well, okay, that sounds awful, but fine I guess.
Can you imagine what Bielema might say at a recruiting event to a bunch of Hog fans? What about when he's hanging out by the pool?
The possibilities are endless.
"At Fleming's steakhouse in Memphis, they had a coaches dinner with the wives," Mattingly said. "Bielema's got this room at Fleming's, and he's buying steak for everybody. He just invites the bus driver to come in and eat with them. So the bus driver is sitting next to a staff member, just hanging out like it's no big deal. Bielema introduced him to everybody. He's just always like that."

- Ran up the score on numerous hapless opponents, including going for two against Minnesota in a blowout win, which is kind of like dunking in the face of the world's friendliest toddler
- Criticizing Ohio State's schedule before almost immediately losing to a C-list Ohio school
- Blamed the tragic death of a player in practice on the hurry-up offense
- Complained about Ohio State recruiting under Urban Meyer turning the Big Ten into the SEC, mere milliseconds before ditching Wisconsin for Arkansas
- Said "erotic" out loud and in public, forever ruining that word in any non-ironic context

Look, say what you want about his personality, but there's no denying that is a handsome man...
