If he really said that, and he really implied cheating by fellow SEC programs on national TV just to gain favor among his old B1G friends ... then frick Bert.

Well thanks but we finished like shite so I don't think Bert knows good recruiting when he sees it. Cause it didn't come from us.

Hey Florida and Ole Miss.... You guys sure he wasn't complimenting y'all on your great classes that's how i read it. weird quote to get upset about.


I saw the interview he did and it didn't seem complimentary at all. More like he was making insinuations without actually accusing. He said that in the SEC you have to recruit differently and some schools surprise you with how they do it. Then he went on to say that Florida is now starting to do like Ole Miss and surprise you in the way they do things to get recruits

Agreed. He's not going to be invited to the post-party in Destin if he's not more clear in the future.

Huh?

Bert is just like us when speaking our minds on here...his message board is national tv...which makes his hook much bigger.

Deal with it

Bert already made LSU and Ole Miss his bitch for two years running. Made Auburn his bitch this past year, likely will keep it that way too. Your turn's coming.

He landed one, count them ONE elite class before this year. It was still not top 5. He got that class thanks to having the nation's #1 recruit older brother on the team. After that, the Ole Miss classes were okay, but not elite. But from that class Ole Miss managed to shock the nation twice and be in playoff talk for the most part of two seasons and play in back to back NY6 bowls. Getting a good class this year is not a shocker.

Is it still cute now that I have spelled out the logical way for you?

I think he's referring just to the head-to-head matchup on Cleveland. Something tells me he was convinced we got him, then FL swooped in and scored, which is something I'm sure he's had to endure numerous times in his career.

I thought we got on him before Arkansas, but I know it sucks to lose recruits on signing day. We lost as many as anyone today.

Hugh Freeze just told SI’s Signing Day show that Bret Bielema called him and said his earlier comments were meant to compliment Ole Miss.

Well his comments are nonsense at best regarding UF. But it is what it is.

Maybe he's talking about the cookie cakes and all that kind of stuff? Maybe he didn't originally know they are for the recruits and not for him.

Bielema says earlier comments meant "Florida is everywhere" in recruiting. He called McElwain/Freeze to clarify that it was compliment

Bert is a bigger sore loser than Donald Trump. That is a Yuuge accomplishment.

Exactly, no one here knows what he meant. If you want to say that it came out wrong then that is one thing. Everyone loves to overact now. We also have no context on the quote.



It's even funnier when you realize that it's a tweet from someone else than who said it. So you can't even infer context.
