Now this is funny. Coaching staff to do a little Michigan recon?...

[The_Boot_stops_here]

Haha. He's pretty original on the Twitter machine

[The_Boot_stops_here]

and Dantonio answers back with...

[WooPig90]

Coach B is G.O.A.T.! Actually surprised someone didnt post this earlier lol

[Arkansas Fan]

I don't do the Twitter, so, does that mean Mark Dantonio asked Bielema to lunch?

[Uncommon]

Yes but it wasn't a real offer.  He was just joining Bielema in being sarcastic/criticizing Harbaugh's Florida spring practice plan.

Maybe CBB is going to watch

[Pavlov's Hog]

You're sharp today

[TomBigBeeHog]

I could see him going and being visible to, and conversing with, the Florida high school coaches Michigan may have on hand. Kinda sneaky, if he is serious.

[PorkRinds]

I think he should. 

[Pulled(PP)pork]

Dear Lord that man is funny!

[longpig]

Well played Coach! :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

[longpig]

I think he should.

Coach being there mixing with other high school coaches and players in the stands would burn James Joseph's ass .

That would truly be hilarious!! Yep, I can see ole "calm, cool, collected, and laid back" Harbaugh's expression now. Here comes Bret strolling in checking things out and making his presence known. In fact, it would a great opportunity to film a segment of "Being Bret Bielma" where he could be shown meeting and conversing with some of the IMG players that are likely taking things in; of course, along with any other high schoolers that might have dropped by. Then post the "meet and greet" on the internet for every other high school recruit to see.

Not all that far fetched. After all, I see where ole Harbaugh generously offered to let any Florida kids that were interested just stop on by. What a real humanitarian.

Sorry bruh, the whole rape thing gets you crossed off the visitor's list.  But I do think all these coaches should show up to watch.

[Hogarusa]

Overall, the whole thing is a silly non story overblown by SEC coaches.  Good job to Bielema for showing some good humor with it

[Sed76]

How is taking your team on a vacation to Florida not some kind of NCAA violation?

[PorkRinds]

Overall, the whole thing is a silly non story overblown by SEC coaches.  Good job to Bielema for showing some good humor with it

Bull darn.  It's something sec schools aren't allowed to do currently.  That will likely change because these coaches are only mentioning it to get it more media plat for the story.  Putting pressure on the sec front office.

[Sivad]

Not Harbaugh's problem.

Agreed. Harbaugh is soaking in the PR and attention for his program. The pics released yesterday looked like his players were having a boatload of fun.

[tophawg19]

CBB is just stirring things up before we start playing them . i think next year is our first time . this should draw some interest to build on for that game

2018, I believe.

[Vantage 8 dude]

You're indeed correct. Our major OOC game in '17 will be TCU visiting "our house".

[tophawg19]

dang he's starting early lol. you are right . two years with TCU first

[Hambunctious]

If I were him, I actually would show up there, and if Dantonio, and Butch showed up too, I'd go to lunch with them.  Maybe that's just me.

[Seebs]

CBB actually showing up would make national news, would overshadow the actual practices and would show those 13 or so D1 prospects at IMG that CBB is straight crazy - which is not a bad thing.

Showing up would be genius.

[HappyFan]

He should drop by and pick up Mark and Butch and all arrive on the same plane, now that would stir up attention.

:razorback:

[ALLVOL]

I'm sure you're right. I'm sure Coach B (who knows Jones better than any of us) is worried about his friendship with Butch.

[Vantage 8 dude]

Posted on another thread, however, I saw on my Yahoo news feed that NBC Sports has picked up on this tweet and is starting to have some fun with it. In fact, they suggested it might be a great move on Bret's part. In their minds a way to counteract the move that Harbaugh made in sending his team down to AMG to begin with.

I realize that Bret's said some things in the past that folks might not have necessarily agreed with. However, one has to admit that he's doing everything, including the "Being Bret Bielema" Youtube program to bring some very positive publicity on the program. Frankly I think that's very much a "win-win" for the school. To a great degree we have to make our own positive news and media events. Personally I like that he's trying to do something that shines a good light on the Hill and the whole Razorback nation. WPS!! :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

Darn it, ALLVOL. You keep saying things like that I might have to take back half of the bad things I've said about UT. 

[PorkRinds]

I'm sure you're right. I'm sure Coach B (who knows Jones better than any of us) is worried about his friendship with Butch.

You have no clue how their friendship is or how close they are.  Heck, CBB could be like the rest of us and be disgusted by Jones calling that kid a traitor.  In fact, I'd bet he is.  If they do happen to be good friends, hopefully CBB is doing what my good friends do when they see me mess up and telling him how it is.  Because defending a bunch of rapists so you can win games, like Jones did (apparently), is pretty disgusting.

You are quite possibly the most ignorant poster on this site. But as I've been told ignorance is bliss. I'm sure you're a very happy person.

[PORKULATOR]

the Traitor thing with Butch was bad,  but he's a good coach/good man and he defends his program daily in these parts.  He's got a tough spring at hand.
He in no way is supporting rape and poor behavior by his players. He's just forced to take some chances on some kids and sometimes that blows up in your face.

[AirWarren]

I see the NCAA is protecting Harbaugh ha. Coach B is just great. Glad he is here.

The entire traitor thing is completely out of character. If the kid who made that claim is being honest I have to question his decision making. Because he stayed on the team the rest of the year and even traveled to the bowl game. That's a helluva long time to be around a place that treated you like that.

Coming from the guy that's on here daily carrying water for an institution that allowed sexual assaults on their campus to be covered up and a guy that's here shaming victims every chance he gets just to push his favorite sports team, I'll wear that like a badge of honor.  I'm not going to call you names, because that's against the rules.  But everyone here can click "view posts" and see where your values lie.  And that's trashing rape victims so your favorite neon orange football team can win games.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have assumed you knew what ignorant meant. Ignorance means not having knowledge of a matter. So I wasn't calling you a name.
And I welcome anyone to check my posts. I've never trashed anyone. Stating the FACTS is completely different than bashing. But seeing how your ignorance of simple things is very abundantly clear I'll bow out of discussing things with you further. There are plenty of intelligent people on here whom I thoroughly enjoy discussing issues with. Have a good day sir and may I suggest perhaps taking a few online courses from UA. It's a very good school and could help you quite a bit.

Keep defending rapists.  It suits you.

You haven't really had the sack to come out to trash anyone.  Mostly you have stuck to deflecting attention when asked direct questions and stating broad and overly general facts to passively infer that some of these alleged victims are liars.  Which oddly enough is kind of how I see Butch handling this whole thing he is going through.

That's funny with CBB and CMD piling on Michigan...thats hilarious....

Do you really think you are going to get an unbiased opinion on here when people are talking about another SEC school? Keep dreaming.

[AirWarren]

NCAA said no to Bret going. It would have been epic though!
