Ripping Bielema and Long

[EastArkHog 47]

Our football and basketball programs are in such great shape, we have such a great AD, the coaches are outstanding and we are winning almost half our games. I just can't imagine why anyone would put an article in the paper spewing out such criticism of these people, it's just outrageous.

Actually, people outside the borders do not spend much time thinking about the U of A at all.

That's what I've been trying to tell GUV but he won't listen. And he especially refuses to read between the lines in this thread about the REAL message. Thank you to you for doing what Guv WILL NOT DO.

Then you should give some to getting a tutor to teach you how to spell....... or stay off the bottle 2 hours before you post....

What are you talking about? I said in my first post that the Newspaper article will likely be ignored and should be.

He's on the west coast. It was probably an herb instead of a bottle.

How embarrassed I am for my state.

How embarrassed I am for my state.

Want to be embarrassed for the state, be embarrassed over something that actually matters like being one of, if not the fattest state. Or raking bottom 5 in education, or near the top in govt assistance per capita. This ad is NOTHING outside of a few dozen people on message boards or the radio.

Those with wisdom will understand. Those without will keep asking what are you talking about? it's not that hard to figure out.

I don't see a huge fan uprising to push Bielema out the door (similar to there was for Nutt to leave).
Now, If he has a bad season this year all bets are off - there may be many more fans with similar feelings to the guy who took out the article.

Seems like 80% of "fans" on here are down on him. Seems like you're itching to turn on him if we lose a few next year. Hate to call it the way I see it.

Personally I think the man has done an awfully good job except for three bad losses last year.  Three really bad games and everything else has been pretty good.

you aren't trying to understand the riddle of Who wrote this..

you're smart - go back and reread the entire thread, and it should come to you

[The Kig]

Who actually reads newspapers anymore?

Literally the first thing I thought.  Probably paid through the nose and more people read it here for free...could have just posted it.  Dumb... Very dumb.

I'm not itching to do anything.
I said what I thought might happen if they have a bad record in year 5.
You know, fans can express concerns about Bielema without wanting him gone.
Everyone doesn't have to be rah, rah ain't Bielema great all the time.
There are areas of concern that I think many fans would like to see improvement in this year - if there's not improvement then I think he'll be on the hot seat.
You may disagree which is fine - we all have an opinion.

So you actually think more people read this site than the ADG?

Not that I think anyone gives a rats ass about the PAID ADVERTISEMENT. It is not an "article" like many here are calling it. You can advertise the Texas fight song if you want to pay for it. Means nothing.

Not close to 80%. Just a few relentless posters making 80% of posts.

3 bad losses = 23% of the games
Meaning he was successful by that standard 77% of the time.

That's a C+ grade and by university standards and how we preach GPA that's not cutting it.  That's a pretty generous grade too.  Sarcasm aside, people do get canned for doing better than that.  I personally think besides the LSU and Bama games, the other losses were embarrassing. 

We need some optimism in this program and by that I mean doing something unexpectedly good.  Go win 10 games next year and bring some optimism to the program.

I see just as many people scrambling to the defense in every thread.  Really this board is just a few people arguing relentlessly.

Now the last think I wanted to do was rankle you with that post.

Go take some benadryl and rub some calamine lotion on that itch and let's discuss this tomorrow when cooler heads prevail.

curious which losses in your opinion were the 'three bad losses'?

[mckinneyhog5]

Also, have them explain what a "good loss" is...

You didn't rankle me.
Believe me there is nothing that would make me happier than to see Bielema succeed here and Arkansas to have a great year.
(Heck - after that basketball game what Hog fan could be unhappy right now??)

There are a lot of reasons, this is jus the latest.

[HogScoutMaster]

stop coming to the games, then they'll listen!

Is not!

[PorkRinds]

I wrote the letter and paid for it to be published. My original intent was to put Ricepig's name on it. But then I reallized that I didn't know his last name.  I mean, his first names ricepig and I couldn't even think of a last name that would go with it.  I didn't think just "ricepig" would give it that air of confidence that it needed. So I just made up a name and went with it. Sorry guys, I didn't mean to cause such a stink.

[bkjbearcat]

Coach K at Duke?

I think Bill Self is.

That is my last name, full name is Roscoe P. Ricepig.

See? I'm glad I went with the pseudonym.  It would have just led to even more confusion

It wasn't the KennyForAD Committee.  We support BB and MA, and would never stoop so low...

How do we know it was even a Hog fan?    3 to 1 that its a hoax.

All this does is hurt the program...stupidity of the highest level

Yes!!

Can't argue with the fact Long has hired all losers.
