If this had been true, the Florida-LSU game would have become his second dumbest move.

I personally thought the Ref blew that call in our favor. But I'm more curious why Bret thinks he'll never see that official again, and who guaranteed that to him?

I would laugh so hard if somehow they got the same SEC crew for this week's game against OM after he made this comment.

Re: Whiny Bret Bielema: "I've Been Guaranteed We'll Never See that Official Again"

You all remember when Coach Saban made some comments about the ineligible receiver downfield rule not being enforced on these RPO plays, and then we get busted with a flag on that the very next game?

Don't tell me SEC refs can't be vindictive.

I am sure we all remember that especially since there was no ineligible receiver downfield on that play.

Trying to displace some of the blame by casting shadows on the officiating which may or may not have cost you 7 points when in fact you managed to lose by 19 (25 not counting garbage-time against the backups) seems like a poor trait from a leadership and accountability standpoint. You don't see this type of behavior from the vast majority of head coaches for good reason. It's a very poor example to set.

Officiating makes us all crazy sometimes so I understand the on-field outburst, but don't necessarily condone it from a head coach getting paid millions to lead a team and set an example. Calling out the refs after the game after you've cooled-down when they certainly didn't cost you the game is just poor sportsmanship among other things.

You lost by a pretty sizeable margin in spite of scoring drives that were kept alive by questionable calls. Congratulate your opponent and move on.

This guy is a complete tool.

2 years ago he flops on Cam Robinson, draws a completely bogus penalty and does a childish victory dance. Then last year he INTENTIONALLY (I don't care what anybody says) bumps Kenyan Drake on the sideline.

He gives a funny interview and somehow brainwashed a woman 1000 miles out of his league into marrying him, but he is completely classless.

I would have thrown my remote into orbit if that call had been against Bama.

You still have a remote...this far into the season?

Wow....that's commendable!

No problem with a coach being frustrated about the officiating.

The issue is his tantrum and whining throughout the game.

Agreed. At the time he got flagged and ESPN replayed the audio he appeared he was so aggravated he was about to cry and/or have a small mental breakdown. Not a good look for the leader of your program. Burt is in way over his head and I'm sure he now wishes he had stayed at Whisky.

I'm not sure it matters - Kelly is likely to carve them to shreds.

That game could end up 63-62

Re: Whiny Bret Bielema: "I've Been Guaranteed We'll Never See that Official Again"

Yeah, he made Bill Laimbeer look like the Berlin wall. Definitely obsessed with Bama.

I'd say a holding call isn't out of the question. The guy spun with Hand when Hand spun. You don't do that unless you have hold of something. This could be WHY Hand fell as he spun... he was carrying extra weight with him.

thank you. that was the view i saw during the game (they played it in one of the lead ins from commercial). that is a hold and the ref in the picture is the one who threw the flag.

i heard beilema whining to holly rowe, and again in a news article quote that the guy who called the holding was only supposed to be watching the guards. he never said anything about it not being a holding call.

Yeah, it was just after the end of the first half, just coming back from the commercial break.

Anybody with Todd Blackledge's email/facebook/twitter contact info should send this sequence to him. Also to ol' Bert himself.

I wonder where this nonsense is coming from. So a ref whose responsibility is say, the DBs, sees a LB holding a TE dragging across the middle can't throw a flag on the LB? I've never heard that officials are given areas of responsibility to govern what they can and cannot flag. Only what they should focus on. When they see a foul, they have to throw the flag, right? Otherwise you'd never have multiple flags thrown on a given play, and we see that all the time.

It’s hard to execute a spin move when you’re carrying 280 extra pounds around your neck!

Re: Whiny Bret Bielema: "I've Been Guaranteed We'll Never See that Official Again"

Every OL is taught to keep your hands inside the shoulder pads and their OT clearly has his hands outside the shoulder pads and wrapped around D'Shawn. Clear holding call. Someone needs to send that to Burt.

Re: Whiny Bret Bielema: "I've Been Guaranteed We'll Never See that Official Again"

What's with these coaches getting Sabanitus when they play us! I sincerely doubt that Bielema was told by the SEC that official won't work his games anymore. If the conference starts doing that, we won't ever play the barn again because they think all SEC officials are cheating in favor of Bama.
Plain and simple he has been processed!
