Arky HC terms his critics "uneducated people"

Whatever it is, it's why Bielema can look back at Arkansas' worst season in at least a half-century, point to the final game – a blown upset bid at LSU – and say:

"I'm not thankful that we lost, but I'm thankful that we had to learn another lesson to get to where we need to be."

It's also why, after an offseason skirmish over a controversial rules proposal was boiled by many down to Bret Bielema vs. the Speed Merchants – the merchants rolled to a big victory, in the balloting and in public opinion – he says he has no regrets. Bielema, who insists his advocacy of a 10-second pause for offenses is solely in the interest of player safety, acknowledges taking "a few beatings" in the argument, but adds:

"It was beatings from uneducated people. Education is the best way to relieve someone from a bad thought process."


that's a bold strategy, bert
