When did Bielema quit? At sometime this year I noticed he was no longer saying Woo
Pig after his interviews.

Does it really matter? He's no longer our coach and is getting a ton of money. We have a new coach so no need to dwell on the pit of misery that was the Bielema era.

I would say 2016 after the Missouri game.
If a man speaks and no woman is around to hear him, is he still wrong?

He been drawing a check since his last bowl game win with us.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

It was just a question man.  Give him a break.  If you don't want to know then don't read it, simple as that.

I think he's right though. What good does it do to dig up what could have been at this point?

I for the record don't think he quit at all, I just don't think what he was doing was working, it doesn't have to be some nefarious lack of motivation thing, and more often then not, it isn't.

Also, I would like to add that by accusing him of quiting and giving up based solely on teams performance, you are essentially admitting that he could have worked here, if not for lack of trying.

He quit when he hired Kurt Anderson

Well technically he was treading water and Anderson became the cement block.  After pulling him under in 2016 you would think BB would let that block go instead he held it tight.  BB's demise can be traced back to quality of the assistants or lack thereof. 
Little known fact, but prior to settling on Guantanamo, the Pentagon wanted to house terror suspects at War Memorial Stadium.  It was deemed to be cruel and unusual punishment and in violation of the Geneva Convention.

I remember him saying woo pig several times up until he was fired. I think this take is unwarranted

So because you don't care to know that means nobody else wants to know?

Woo pig was the last thing he said at the end of the press conference after the Missouri game so if that's the standard he never quit. I think he worked his tail off and it just didn't yield results.

Wouldn't surprise me much.  The players began giving up in 2016 and I knew something was wrong earlier that year.

Because no one actually knows and it's all just speculative bitching, but proceed as you will. I can't stop you. I can only point out the fruitless nature of the endeavor.

IMO he worked his tail off first 2-3 years, thought he had arrived in the 8 win season, then pffft.    We are now seeing what a coach working his tail off looks like.

It makes no difference to me at all.  I was just merely stating that if the OP wants to ask he has a right too.  There is no reason for him to get ridiculed about it.

Whoa, sure he has a right to start a dumbas$ thread, one that has been started a few dozen times before, and we have a right to point out that it is a dumbas$ thread.

That's kinda how employment works.  Probably drew a check before that game as well.

What does the story about the guy you know getting fired have to do with Bielema? This is a whacko post with the content and timing. A simple "Bielema sucks" thread would've been better.
Thanks for the F Shack.

I remember it too. OP is an attention-seeking troll. All his threads are garbage.
