In fairness, that WAS one of the reasons people wanted Nuttless the Clown fired. He treated people like shite and was allegedly keeping up media relations in an inappropriate way.

That was emotional to read. I can't imagine how hard it was to write.

How do you figure that? Do you have some kinda inside information or are you just pontificating?

The Spring Game may well have been a disaster but it did not cause this tragedy.

Maybe, maybe not. With how this has been handled, and the relationship the family has with the staff over this period ensures he will be taken care of. Kind of like a first hand behind the scenes type thing.

This sucks for anyone at anytime in life, but the University, and Coaching Staff has handled this beyond of what could have been expected.

That's probably the most asinine things I have read today, and I was just on the Politics board.

Why did Bert have to schedule it so late? He should have known it would have caused RWIII an injury.

Bert allowed RWIII to make the choice to go on medical scholarship.

Petrino used the medical hardship on several players with none having a say in the matter, Barlow ended up transferring to Kansas to be able to play again.

“What we’ll do is proceed with what we fortunately can do in a bad situation,” Bielema said. “We’ll put him on a full medical scholarship where he is entitled to everything just as much as he was as the SEC leading rusher.

“He’s able to take care of his academics. He’s actually on a progression that he’ll graduate — his goal is to graduate with a finance and accounting degree — and then also start a graduate program here at Arkansas. He’s going to work specifically with me a little bit in our recruiting department and also with the running backs. Kind of a work in progress.”

Bielema first began discussions with Williams about taking such a role just hours after his April 28 injury. Bielema arrived at the hospital in Fayetteville that evening as alarms for a tornado warning were going off. Williams, along with his family, some friends and Bielema, had to escorted into the hallway as a result of the storm. That’s when the conversation turned to life after football.

“We kind of started telling stories about tornadoes and it was one of those moments where we carried on the conversation and talked about, ‘Well, if it weren’t football, what would you do?,’ ” Bielema said. “I told him at that time, I said, ‘Hey, if it does get to that point, you’ve got a job with me any day of the week.’ ”

That is awesome. Folks can troll him all they want but at the end of the days he's just a good guy.

They miss the boat. Bitch all you want about wins and losses. The other shite is ridiculous.

Did you hear the outrageous call into Bo's show today blaming Bielema for the stinger diagnosis because a Bleacher report article? He said he was a former Wisconsin K/P Adam Schober.
