From Bielema's introductory press conference... LINK
quote:

I ended up playing as a redshirt freshman. I think that’s when he probably learned my name, because I was playing. The next year I was going through spring ball, and I tore my ACL in spring ball. I was talking to the trainer and he said ‘You tore your ACL’. They said you could either fix it, and you’ll be out six months to a year, or you can play and train your hamstring to take its place. You can see what happens. I said ‘Let’s do that.’ They said you can play as soon as you can stand it. He goes, ‘If you choose to play without an ACL, if you play at the next level in the NFL, they’ll fail you on your physical’. I’m thinking I’m just trying to play at Iowa, I don’t know about the NFL. I played seven days later, earned a scholarship. If I hadn’t earned that scholarship, I probably wouldn’t have been able to stay there because of my family surroundings. Little did I know, I started to play pretty good. I had a great NFL career – it was seven days. I failed my physical because I didn’t have an ACL ligament. I started thinking to myself that was probably pretty dumb, but I wasn’t good enough anyway. Coach Fry taught me during his career to just stick to what you know, be good at what you’re doing, work hard, and good things are going to happen to good people.

The big guy with a big heart sacrificed his knee to play the game he loves

But you assholes want to make fun of him over things caused by his ACL injury

Weight gain...



Stumbling after being pushed...



and falling.

I mean, I get it. Bret gets a little worked up on the sidelines and does some crazy celebrations and such. I understand that fans might misconstrue his words and actions at times.

But when you make some effort to understand where he's coming from... it all makes sense. He's a true player's coach, concerned about the well being of all players on the field. He knows what it's like to give your all for your school.

I bet it really hurt him when that TPOS Cam Robinson pushed him, especially when Bret was just looking out for his, an opposing player's, safety as well as the safety of his own players. To have your efforts struck down like that must have hurt. It's no wonder he covered up that emotional pain with some fancy dance moves. Never let them know they hurt you. When they spit in your face, you gotta dance.

Tearing your ACL is no excuse for putting gravy in your coffee every morning.

Right now, I'd give Charlie Weiss the edge in a sumo bout, but it would be close.

Charlie's carries his weight really low and it sags on him like a morbidly obese person, i.e. Mangino. Bret carries his weigh high and tight and could solidly whip Charlie's arse.

i agree but i'll also say look at the first pic compared to the 2nd. he looks 50 lbs lighter just wearing clothes that fit in the 2nd one- i know he's a big man but that doesn't mean you have to wear since 200xl if you're just a 3xl in real life.
