Sankey likely realized Bama's AD will not offer any pushback on this crap. After all, Bill Battle is one of the few Bama fans on this planet who thinks Roy Kramer did a good job.I'd remind people that the flag wasn't reached for until after the Bielema flop. Sankey is full of crap and basically just punting on handing out any punishment to a coach for his refs being idiots.
not only that, you can see bielema turn his head and say something to the ref immediately after his flop and immediately after that is when the ref grabs the flag.I'd remind people that the flag wasn't reached for until after the Bielema flop. Sankey is full of crap and basically just punting on handing out any punishment to a coach for his refs being idiots.
i would imagine saban won't spend any time worrying about it and they probably realize that as well.Sankey likely realized Bama's AD will not offer any pushback on this crap. After all, Bill Battle is one of the few Bama fans on this planet who thinks Roy Kramer did a good job.
Has Roy Kramer been reincarnated into Greg Sankey? Now, when will all SEC teams have a BYE week before playing Alabama.SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey on the incident:
Bret's always good for a laugh. He's like Les Miles. Without the, you know...winning.
I'd like to have a beer with Les, not Phatimus II.I don't think Les is that despicable.
By "him" do you mean Bert or Sankey? I'd vote for both. Total whitewash by the SEC Office. Gutless wonders.What we need to do next year is run a sweep right at their sideline pulling both guards and leading with a fullback. String it out as much as possible and run right over him. That might shut him up.
Business as usual at the SEC office. Nobody wants to be seen as aiding Alabama by any of its rivals. Face it guys we are envied by everyone in the league.Bret's always good for a laugh. He's like Les Miles. Without the, you know...winning.
It's not like there aren't enough stomachs under that Arkansas jacket.he can probably digest the grass better too
Missed the whale reference the first time I read it...I will give Sankey some credit. It takes a strong man to sweep Bert Beluga under the rug.
Hahaha, oh my. That's hilarious. ESPN must be in on it, too...And then there's this. Living in Arkansas, I can say that this is getting old. A mic guy stealing signals? Come on, man.

Bielema's answer to the question from his Tuesday news conference via the video posted to arkansasonline.com:
"There was no intent on mine. Here's what happened, you're out on the field, there's a situation that happened when we get a turnover. A couple plays before that there was a little situation and some feistiness and I said to the officials, 'Hey, you should throw a flag and get this calmed down a little bit because guys were getting chippy' It was a big game. What happened is they came over to the sideline and 74 (Robinson) was in a tussle with (an Arkansas player) and they kinda got flipped out of bounds.
"I kinda knew, just as a coach, you feel these things coming and so one of the things I learned early on with coach (Hayden) Fry was when you're stepping in between players, especially if you have a game-like situation, to put your face to your players because it comes across as confrontational. So I jumped in front. ... I knew my players weren't going to touch me, I knew that.
"So I kinda jumped in front and then there's a lot of things going on. I know I got pushed out. I don't know if whatever happened, but I turned around and that's when I saw the flag and knew something happened. But the league told me it was more off of the action towards other players rather than anything directed towards my actions or him pushing me into my actions, or whatever it was."
Bielema laughed at the characterization of being an instigator in the incident.
"I'm not that quick," he told reporters in Fayetteville.
And the celebration dance?
"I probably to that 10 times a game when good things happen," Bielema said. That was a good thing. We had an interception that gave us the ball in their red zone, a chance to score. I would do that same dance if we did the same thing tomorrow. It wasn't a reaction to the penalty. It was more of a reaction to we just intercepted a pass ..."
Bielema also said they were looking into the origin of the video that surfaced Sunday evening. He said there was a concern about cameras on their sideline recording signals and other sensitive communications.
