I just can't figure out why he is showing his arse so bad all of a sudden. He has said some dumb things before, but I just chalked it up to a guy who has been a college president/chancellor for over 20 years making an occasional idiot comment as humans are wont to do.


He's done a lot of sketchy things as president of various universities, but some places have been willing to tolerate it more than others due to his fund-raising abilities.

It's worth noting that he managed to piss off a lot of people in his infamous two year stint at president at Brown University, though. To this day, he is memorialized:

I mean the SEC just gets to sit around and watch all the other conferences demolish themselves at this point. It's kind of pathetic


Yep. Every other conference is scrambling to compete with us, burning bridges left and right, killing traditions every day. And Mike Slive is just sitting back, playing a fiddle with dick, and watching the NCAA burn.

If so, my opinion of Bielema as a hire for Arky went up 10 fold.

Well he raised the funds and the cash is in the coffers at OSU. If his boosters and trustees are going public with their displeassure, then he may be done.

Can't have the president of an institution like OSU having diarrhea of the mouth and crapping all over folks.

If you had any association with the Nebraska defense last season I could see how you might consider Bielema a "thug." #70

Frankly I think he's just jealous.

Gonna be interesting to see what OSU does. They are loyal to a fault and he has been a point of pride amongst many of their alumni. I never mind seeing them get taken down several notches as they are way more arrogant than they should be.

Bielema is a thug but that's just something you don't say in public, especially on behalf of Alvarez. Then he speaks on Urban's behalf about the SEC's lack of integrity. Again, something you may say behind closed doors amongst each other but that's it. Barry and Urbs have to be PISSED!

My guess is that the Ohio State Board of Trustees will be pushing Mr. Gee out the door pretty quickly. It will be a swift, hasty exit...at least I hope so.

Just google hineygate and find out. It's kind of half and half. Like UT was with Kiffin. The Alums have had enough, the sidewalk fans think it is cool.

So according to you and tOSU, the SEC has a "lack of integrity" but tOSU and other B1G do not? Correct? I believe you guys were the ones banned from post-season play....not us,
