I flew in a expert in my hobby over the weekend from Wisconsin and he is a devout Wisconsin Badger fan and we talked about the program and Bielema leaving. Now this is just his comments but he said most in Wis are glad that he is gone because basically they felt his attitude and arrogance wasn't acceptable for their program. His words...."he's a jerk" and most didn't want him representing UW.
wlayton, I believe this. At some point those "outside" of the SEC have to make a shift from the way they have played the game, forever.
Lots was said about urban meyer prior to landing in Florida. urban meyer who I have described as a "carpet bagger" several times on this board, came to the South and filled his bags just as was done back in the day.
He and his staff are roaming all over the South trying to land the talent that is here. Spending as much or more of his/their time below the Mason/Dixon than above the line. urban meyer found out quickly that college football is a "staple" in the South. His only chance of winning big time in "that B1G conference" depends on his/their success in recruiting in the area that produces D1 football players.
What some of those folks in Ohio don't realize, urban "liar" meyer burned many bridges in Florida. Left the door open for Jimbo Fisher to control the State of Florida for years to come. Jeremy Foley is more than aware. Lots of conversation about the damage done by the "liar".
Sometimes those that rise to the top, fall quickly, that happened to Florida . . . . urban got sick and had to leave. M&M/ESPN are trying really hard to prop the "gangsta coach up".
