Bielema takes (veiled) shots at Ohio State
Posted on: July 28, 2011

CHICAGO -- It took until the second coach in the lineup Thursday to start laying down some Ohio State smack at the Big Ten media days. Wisconsin's Bret Bielema took some not-so-veiled shots at the Buckeyes during his time on the podium.

Among the highlights: "If someone willingly and knowingly violates a rule, I don't see anything wrong with a substantial penalty."

Bielema obviously is feeling good about his program, having beaten Ohio State last year and going to the Rose Bowl. Depending on who you read, the Badgers are favored to win the Big Ten Leaders Division over the Bucks and play in the first Big Ten title game.

The only way to deter cheating, he went on to say, "is to get rid of people." "Hammer the guys that don't do things right."

Later, Bielema said "those comments aren't directly made at Ohio State." OK indirectly.

"More of those comments I was referring to recruiting," he added. "When you have people who are knowingly breaking rules or are doing things that aren't over the table, that is very frustrating ... It's very hard to trace. I've been in conversation with the NCAA over the last six months [more than] any other time in the coaching profession. It's very, very upsetting when things don't come down and people aren't hammered the way they should be. "

--"I love to get into a magazine, a newspaper article, internet article to hear about change of other programs," Bielema said. "To me the more you change, the more you have the opportunity to fail. At Wisconsin we're kind of boring, we do the same thing every day. For us it's been very, very successful."

--"We've been knocking on the door at Ohio State a couple years. To finally go through it last year the way he did, there wasn't any question about who won that football game. The only bad part about Terrelle [Pryor] leaving [is] he kind of claimed the week after it was a fluke ... To me, we really wanted to play that game against him. Unfortunately, we won't."

--"There is not a coach in this profession that treated me or helped me better than Jim Tressel. He was a guy who grabbed my hand the first time I walked in a room."

did anyone ask him why he waited until the 4th quarter to pound the ball against an undersized d line with John Clay in the Rose Bowl...then after running over, through, and around the TCU defense, calling a dumb play on the 2pt conversion?

Seriously, fuck Bret Bielema and his wannabe top-tier, good every 4 years cheese-dick team...can't believe a B1G head coach would say that many arrogant and cocky remarks directly at an individual school in a press conference
