Good listen. Thanks, rice!

Bielema seems like the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with.  Probably hard to stay that way doing what he does.

Thanks for posting RP

That's awesome.  Ac is probably my all time favorite razorback and I'll be a fan of whoever drafts him.

[Justagp]

Thank you for posting this Rice Pig - always loved AC and knew there was something beneath the surface we didn't see. +1 and more it I could!

[presidenthog]

that was really awesome. I've been wanting to watch that all night. I got off work and checked it out and it didn't disappoint.

[Steef]

Thanks, Alex.

Godspeed.

Go HOGS Go !

So glad we have someone like Bielema as our coach!

[Dominicanhog]

I wonder what his mothr's toughts are now?

Mostly dollar signs is my guess...

Really interesting.  Some of that seems like betraying AC's privacy, but maybe he told Coach he can share the story.

[PorkRinds]

Betraying his privacy?  Most of that was already known.

[PigWig]

This is great. I got a chance to briefly meet Alex in Memphis after the Liberty Bowl.  You could tell he was exhausted and drained from the game, but he was still taking to time to shake hands and take pictures with a couple of fans who saw him on the street.  The kid is an absolute class act, and I am proud he is a Razorback.  I think he has a great NFL future ahead of him.

You knew that his mom stole his NLI papers? I heard she wouldn't sign them, never that she stole them say they gave him extras to hide.

Thank You!! The only piece that I wasn't aware of was how Alex got his nickname, "Buddha". That's now answered and based on how he got it I seriously doubt AC felt any of his privacy was violated. CBB was the one that actually told AC the story after speaking to AC's father.

She took them from the table, left the building. that at minimum is "stealing the papers" regardless of her intent. She was required to sign them but she didn't have the right to take them, however spin it any way you desire to maintain your position.

Yep, it was reported by numerous people that she left the building with the papers.

Hogville is so full of drama queens. If everything that was said was said rehashed, then why is everyone talking about how interesting it is?  I didn't say it was betraying confidence, only if AC didn't want that info shared.

Everyone knew his mom stole the papers:

"The papers are not there.  I've heard from more than one source - actually from two different sources that his mother has confiscated his papers.  She took them and she ran......."

The only thing that was new about the story was how Alex got his nickname.

[Cave City Joe]

It's so much nicer to get stories like this instead of most of the Petrino stories.

Yes I knew she stole the papers.

It's interesting because as far as I know CBB hasn't told the story from his perspective and there were tidbits about Alex's background that I hadn't heard before.

Guys, I know that there was a lot of negativity on this Board when Bielema was hired as Coach, but I think he's proven to be just what we needed after the disastrous circus like regimes he had to replace.  He speaks his mind, his players all seem to love him, and so far we've improved every year he's been here.  I think last season would have been at least two wins better without the injuries but that's football.  With the losses we took at QB and the Oline, people are not going to take us very seriously this year.  I actually think we'll improve on last years record.

Yep, I hated winning, too.

Would you rather win 10 with a jerk of a coach or 7 with a guy that will be your buddy?
