He wasn't retained by Bielema, hence Horton's arse pain.

Horton didn't have to be so specific if he was just wishing Tate well. He could have said he was praying for Tate without even mentioning shoulder surgery.

It was a dick move, which is pretty obvious or else Bielema wouldn't have called Horton, and he wouldn't be getting asked about it at press conferences.

Has nothing to do with wishing him well. It has to do with him doing it on social media for all to see before it was officially released. Douche move. You know it, I know it. Even Horton knows it.


I'm sure he knows it was a bad decision, but damn can we move on from this? Another thread definitely wasn't needed. It's overblown at this point.

Come on bro. Did it really make a difference? Do you really think he was trying to be a dick by posting that??? I guess I'm not surprised that you fans have nothing better to do but I think it's weird Bielema has spent more than 2 seconds on this topic with his first season coming up. I think the guy's got a little more to worry about considering what he's facing in about a month.

Bottom line is Horton shouldn't have tweeted it. Whether it was intentional or not, I have no idea. Regardless, I don't see what the big deal is and fans/beilema acting like baby back bitches is pretty ridiculous IMO.

Arky fans, get the sand out of your vaginas. You are acting like a bunch of imbeciles.

If our staff was trying to do something malicious, why haven't we tweeted about every injury? Get your head out of your asses and move on.

Simple job progression, IMO. Arkansas to Auburn.

That was the first one.

They announced 3 more tonight.


eta: Bielema said he had planned to give updates and talk about all of the injuries tonight. Said the family has a right to hear it from the school and the docs, not to see it blow up on social media. A Family focused institution would know that.

Bielema also said he talked to Horton on the phone and basically ripped him a new one. Said they won't have this problem again.



Did he fire him again?

Oh, dear lord... Like a lot of other stuff, correct? Like Bobby Petrino getting fired? That was leaked before it actually happened. How about when it was leaked that Bobby Petrino had that sexy whore on his bike when he wrecked? That was leaked before it was officially released. This stuff happens everyday, and this separate issue is no big deal.

However, by all means, continue to make it into a big deal.

Another of his "former players" was injured, did he tweet his prayers to him so all could see?

Yes, "OC" to RB coach to TE coach that is job progression.

So.... Horton heard about it before the parents? Is that how I'm suppose to read that?

Yes, because all of this is the same as violating federal law by releasing private student information, especially when they are no longer your student...

I don't think so. Thank you for proving my point.
