How hard do you think it was for Bert...

[hawgon]

to even get up and go watch film this morning?  He has got to be close to just packing it in and mailing it in for the rest of the year. 

[BrianG]

It seems he has already done that.

[theFlyingHog]

Every now and then a team will have a game so bad, the coach throws out the game film. BB does that every week

[Letsroll1200]

Watching film and analyzing film are two different things. Every week the team has had a good practice week according to Bret. Arkansas need to have a bad week this week.

Doesn't matter, he would fall asleep.

[Michael_E_Davis]

Who is Bert?  There is no one on the staff named Bert that I am aware of.

[Danimal]

He's been mailing it in since year 3....

Jen probably had him boxing a few things up around the house.  No need to wait till the last day or trust the movers.

LOL. That dude isn't watching film.

[East Clintwood]

LOL. That dude isn't watching film.

I don't know.  Maybe he turns it into a drinking game.

Every opponent first down, a drink.  20+ yard gain or field goals, 2 drinks.  TD's,  3 drimks.

Wait a minute there. Are you actually suggesting he's actually gone in to review the film. Not sure what the heck he'd learn that he's hasn't already immediately forgotten.

[EastexHawg]

How hard is it for him to acknowledge having a player flop to stop the clock and run a hurry up offense after he whined incessantly... even talked about "death certificates"...when the coach who has whipped him like a tied up goat did the same things?

[rljjr]

Can you at least call him Bret? It's his name. There's no reason to be petty. Yes, we're not happy with the results on the field that are ultimately his responsibility, but I mean come on. It doesn't mean he doesn't care about his players. He's done good things for the program. It just seems the job is too big for him now.

[SONofHAM]

Every now and then, a warrior has to lay down and just have a good bleed.

[NuttinItUp]

Just spending those millions we are paying him.

Not difficult at all for him.  He got up...got out a few non stick frying pans and told Jen, "I'm gonna make us some omelets like I always do on Sunday morning", and got busy.  Spent 3 or 4 hours in the kitchen.

This^^^At least call the guy by the correct name. He is a human being. Show a little class. Geez.

Exactly.

He has set us back in a very similar way to JLS

[(notOM)Rebel123]

He still deserves to be called by the right name.
Show some decency.

Nope.  It's Bert or Dumplin.

This is an angle that may work for us. He just looked stunned and beat on the sideline and could just want out.

[hawgon]

Dumplin gonna eat...

[code red]

Mail in millions uh no.  Jen would be pissed.

[Bonehog]

If you made $350k every game you lost what would you do? He gets up dances a jig every day, most likely that silly gold miner dance!

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Dumplin gonna eat...

"Sad....

[twistitup]

I'm sure you don't give 2 shiites...

Correct ....beet, vert, Bert, squirt, dumplin

Who really cares

Didn't he dance after the NM st win?

....Those of us who choose to treat people with respect & decency even if we aren't happy with the job they are doing.

I bet he appreciates you greatly

Quit wasting your time- you think folks on here are going to change based on your opinion?

[hawgon]

I'm sure you sleep well at night...big man.

I'm actually quite svelte.

[(notOM)Rebel123]

I'm sure they won't change their opinion on whether or not we need a new coach. Nor will I, because we do. I'm not trying to change their minds. But I will still do my best to treat people with respect & hope others would do the same.

[shown006]

The term Bert actually came from Wisconsin.  That's what the Badger fans called him.

[Bonehog]

We would call him "bulimia" but for some reason that don't fit, not sure why.

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Heaven help us....

[Bonehog]

Oh, Samsonite, I was way off!

[jgphillips3]

When Bert mans up, takes all the blame for the losses, calls it completely unacceptable, admits his Oline and Oline coach are a disaster, takes responsibility for that, etc, then he can be Bret again.  Players under the bus, coach speak, lack of recognition of reality...that's Bert.

Admits he flopped......

I'm sure ole Doughboy gives two shats what you think. He's too busy counting all that money...

[Tusks]

I thought this thread was going to be about how hard it is for Bert to look in the mirror after cashing his paycheck this week.

[HognotinMemphis]

Close? He did that after the TCU game.

[longpig]

Bert sure does have a lot of fanboys in here.

[Michael_E_Davis]

Bert sure does have a lot of fanboys in here.

Again,  there is no one named Bert on the staff.  Who are you referring to?  If you mean our current coach, Bret,   I think some people just realize that calling him Bert because you don't like him is getting real old, real fast.

How about " Crisco" think we could get away with that?

If they have to call him Bret because that is his name, do they have to call him coach because that is not what he does.

After watching us the other night, the whole staff js just marking time, looking for jobs, waiting to be fired and draw their buyouts. Bielema is probably looking for the television booth. You can just see it in his demeanor, he is waiting to be fired, so he can draw his money. Could be sett for life.
