Is that the Gusser trying to crack a smile?

He appears to be holding in a fart.

He appears to be holding in a fart.

That and the face you made in class when wanting to laugh but knowing you couldn't.

He smiles so fast the camera can't catch it

Speaking of Media Days.  Were we talking about Media Days?  Okay, we weren't talking about Media Days but we are now.  Below is a piece from an Andy Staples on Fat Bert's presser yesterday.  Being that the bloated one is about 12 games below .500 in the SEC, it's more than fair to ask him a hot seat question.  Look how this classless tub of goo responds.


But Bielema is a coach in the SEC. The new dad glow only delayed the first hot seat question by about 12 minutes. The Razorbacks closed last season by losing a winnable game at Missouri and blowing a 24-point lead to Virginia Tech in a Belk Bowl loss that sealed a 7–6 finish. Their defense was especially porous against the run, and coordinator Robb Smith quickly found another job at Minnesota following the bowl loss. As Bielema enters his fifth season in Fayetteville, Arkansas has yet to take the leap that his Wisconsin teams took. Asked Monday if he was anxious about the season and its impact on his job, Bielema told a story about his fourth season in Madison in 2009, with the Badgers coming off a 7–6 finish.

“I remember a young buck asked me a question if I felt nervous or anxious about the season,” Bielema said. “I just said that we’d just worry about the things we do. We won 10 games and then went on to win three Big Ten championships. And that guy is no longer in the business. I always think about that.”

Gotta say, as much as I hate that dude, I don't mind the answer he gave above.  No dig at you Snags but how did you want him to respond?

Summation, we worry about what we do, can't control anything else.

I agree. Snags is an idiot.

I'd want him to respond with something other than "The last guy that asked me that question lost his job", which is essentially what he was saying.

See I read it as the if the last guy had focused on his job like we focus on our job. He would still be here like I am.  In this case, he was still in Wisconsin the reporter was not.

There are plenty of answers he can give without being a condescending fuck hole.

They played the clip on our local sports talk station this morning.  I can't find the actual quote in any of the footage from yesterday, but I'm 87.492% certain he ended what he said by saying "So, good luck" to the reporter.  But then, that means there's a 17.5881% chance he didn't say it.

Par for the course with Snags.  We are talking about Snags, right?

What he didn't realize is that since he was in Birmingham, there is an 89.75% chance the reporter is colluding with Nick Saban...so there's no way he will lose his job for this.

al.com?

al.com?

al.com, espn.com, nyt.com...it really doesn't matter.

[Kaos]

How many different coaches is al.com going to ask about their fear of or admiration for Sabah and Alabama?

That's all I've read for two days. 

So coach Orgeron. You took over for Les Miles mid-season and got the job of your dreams after the season. You've got a back with Heisman potential in Guice and a defense that should be strong, especially with Arden Key coming back.  So. What do you think about Nick Saban?  Are you looking forward to having Dreamland BBQ when you come to Tuscaloosa? How close did you really come to hiring Lane Kiffin who had his career resurrected by Nick Saban.  How do you sell recruits on playing in Baton Rouge when they could play for
Nick Saban?  Are you patterning your program after what Nick Saban does?

I have a buddy who does a local show here in the morning.  He and his co-host are headed to the Ham right now for the last 2 days and they'll do their show from teh Windfree.  I just texted him and told him to make sure and ask every guest if they try and eat the same breakfast as Nick Saybinz and take a shit at exactly the same time Sayburnz does every morning?
