Bret Bielema (HC Illinois)

[Buckeye86]

So he's pulling for his opponent? Very believable.

Yep, and you have to wonder which came first: deciding not to recruit any of Penn State's players or deciding that you didn't want/need any of them.

Is it classy to publicly proclaim that you have decided not steal bread off of a starving person (while leaving out that you just had a steak dinner)?

 

[BuckTwenty]

Still a douche

-final game of the year against Penn State, and he said he would be pulling for them that game and all year

I bet his players love that their head coach will be 'pulling for' the other team.

Still a douche

GPA?

Maybe he means he will be pulling for them to score a garbage time field goal after his cards tell him to go for two up 55-0.

 

[Deety]

That's going to be a GO, METEORS! sort of game.

So, I'll sum up Bielema's comments for those keeping score at home......

"I'm a douche...I always have been and always will be. I fit in quite nicely with our fan base. I won't try to poach from Penn St, but I won't stop anyone from transferring to play for us. Hold on a sec, I see that Matt McGloin is calling......"

 

[BigWoof31]

Is this another one of his "the B1G has a gentleman agreement" comments?

Because he was on Russell Wilson like flies on shit last year. Poaching was easy and fun when it's an OOC team.

 

[Bucky32]

Actually, it looks like he's correct. Matt hayes used the term "gentleman's agreement":

All Bielema was quoted as saying was that he didn't want the Big Ten to turn into the SEC....

Is this another one of his "the B1G has a gentleman agreement" comments?

Because he was on Russell Wilson like flies on [Mark May] last year. Poaching was easy and fun when it's an OOC team.

Not even close to the same situation.

 

[Muck]

Not even close to the same situation.

Yep.

McGloin sucks.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

Moxie. You can't take that away.

 

[BUCKYLE]

Not even close to the same situation.

Agreed. Ya gotta give it to Biff tho. He manages to douche up any situation with All-Star efficiency. The dude has a gift.

 

[Saw31]

The gift of douche...
