Awkward smiles from Ohio State: A letter to former Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema as the Buckeyes-Badgers rivalry goes on without him

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A letter to Bret Bielema as Ohio State prepares to play Wisconsin this week, facing a Badgers' coach that isn't Bielema for the first time since 2004.

Dear Bret,

Hope everything is going well for you in Arkansas. Sorry about your first loss as a Razorback the other day. To Rutgers, too. Crazy. Should have brought back some Big Ten memories. (Ha!)

Anyway, I know you're getting ready for Texas A&M and Johnny Manziel this week – hey, Minnesota could use that guy, right? - but it's Ohio State-Wisconsin week up here, and we miss you. And your wife.

But you should know that the Buckeyes are thinking about you.

I asked around about you yesterday. Some of the people at Ohio State are still a little, let's say, uncomfortable, when your name is brought up. There's this thing where they get this smile on their face that isn't really a smile.

When I asked OSU receivers coach Zach Smith if he missed you, he grinned, sighed, adjusted his stance at the podium with his hands in his pockets, said, “Oh, Lord,” and then added, “You always miss great coaches, you know?'

If I could pick one bowl matchup this season it would be to see Wisconsin vs. Arky. Unfortunately, I'm not sure Arky will make it to bowl eligibility, let alone be high enough to match up with Wisconsin. Outback would be the best chance w/ it being Big 10 #4 vs. SEC #5.

I don't see them making a bowl. Right now they're the worst team in the SEC West according to Sagarin and that's with a 3-1 record. Throw in games against Texas A&M, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Ole Miss, and LSU, and they're gonna struggle to get to 6 wins with that schedule.

Good luck Bret. You're gonna need it.
