Bielema didn't work out for various reasons, but on paper, we went out and got ourselves a high-performing coach who was firing on all cylinders at a lateral job.


I hear what you're saying, and it's probably easy for me to say this after the fact, but I never thought Bielema would work here, at least in terms of putting us in contention for the SEC. He said we were gonna out-Bama Bama. No way was that going to work with the players Bama was running out there and the players we were.

I'm 53, and though I remember the Hatfield years, I never thought we were a real contender except when Petrino was here. He could win with lesser players, and that's what it's going to take for us.

Are you me typing that out? I'm 48 and I've seen some of the best and worst years of Hog football. I like to pretend the current state of our football program doesn't bother me, but it does. When BMFP was fired, it was one of the lowest days for me.
