I think you are over thinking this. He gets to pick and chose when they film. I think this is going to be positive for recruiting

Bama fans especially... You should feel ashamed. If it wasn't for Bert you wouldn't have been in the championship. Theres PLENTY of fat people in the south. It's not like we don't see them every day. Hell most of you are probably fat as frick! LSU fans... Your coach eats grass. Ole Miss fans... Your coach probably wears jeans to church. South Carolina fans... Your coach quit on you mid season. Vanderbilt fans... I don't even know who your coach is. It's time we accepted Bert for who he is.



Wait, no short or drunk digs?

You should be ashamed for not calling him Brett.

Y'all know we just make fun of him bc it's tRant and it's just the nature of the beast here.


I view it more of owning the asset than mocking it

If I say "Bert is Fat" I am owning it and taking it away from those who just mock it.

Power to the people and all!

I have actually seen more Bama fans defend him than any other fan base.


This is true, he gets the most respect from the Bama fans and some LSU fans. He can put his foot in his mouth sometimes, but I think overall he's a better coach than he gets credit for and seems to be an upstanding man, wanting good young men in his program.

Things like a reality show could cause a problem. First if things go poorly, people will question the distraction. Second, most of those shows are edited to create conflict/drama --- that is bad PR. Finally you never really want to much scrutiny in your personal life --- no telling what you do not want people to know that might be revealed.

I cannot off hand think of many reality shows where things end well for the stars.


You realize this isn't a true reality show with conflict and surprises.

Its a "follow the head coach around for a week and do some interviews" documentary. And know way Bo Mattingly puts anything on their negative about CBB or Arkansas.

This is nothing but a Razorback and CBB infomercial.

From what I gathered is he is a old school guy and won't go after prima donnas which imo makes him a smart recruiter.


He's openly admitted to cutting ties with recruits that are overly vulgar or up to bad shite on Twitter, or disrespect their mother/parents on recruiting visits. He does stick to his guns with any kind of punishment and doesn't seem to play favorites, which will attract only a certain type of player somewhat limiting his recruiting. He's more of a developer than high level recruiter, although I'm sure he would love to get all 5 stars. We've never had much recruiting success here, and so far his classes have been better than his predecessors. He's definitely got us going in the right direction and is adding to our program's visibility every day, which for us is about all we could hope for after the program went into the ditch.


And the "reality" show is more about following him in his day to day activities and speaking events and more geared around comedy than anything. I definitely don't see any kind of drama being involved as Bielema seems to never have any, which is why it may fail.

I like Burt and think he is top 2-3 coach in the conference.

Did not know that. I read a few comments on here about a reality show and thought it was a joke tbh.

Asked in here and was informed it is real. Other than that and it being online I have no details.

Er...we make fun of him? I certainly don't. I admire what he's done. I even refuse to call him "Bert," which is more than I can say for a sizable portion of the Arkansas fanbase.
