🏈 The "lack of appreciation" vs "death threats to your wife?" UArk fans not dealing with Bielema well

[TerryP]

We do have the story about Nolan's horse being shot. So, I read this and have to say "I wouldn't be surprised."

Bret Bielema opens up about his wife receiving death threats and life in the SEC

Q: Professional criticism is one thing. When it turns and flips onto personal level, as it did this season with (wife) Jen, how tough is that to handle?

A: “The only thing I was concerned about her was just her safety. I mean, some people, when they claim they’re going to kill you and your dogs and, you know, hope you die in a car crash and make malicious comments, that’s … People are today a little off. I spend a lot of time away from home. One of the things that we did is talk to the people that we need to talk to to make sure that there wasn’t any potential threat to her safety and well-being. That’s my only priority, is the safety of my family, which right now is my wife and two little dogs that I do like.”

Q: Is the SEC West more or less daunting now that you’ve been through it? Any different take or perception now that you’ve seen it up close?

A: “I think the part that really jumps out to me is you’ve got a team that’s playing for a national championship (Auburn), and we’re a play or two away from being able to capitalize on that game. It shows kids how close you literally are. There isn’t anything more self-evident than to see two teams playing in the SEC championship game that had one win in the SEC total last year. The cards couldn’t line up any better for where we’re at and where we want to be.”

It is hard for me to understand their passion because they do not have a winning tradition. What do they expect? Why would they treat a coach like that. Especially if they didn't pay the price or commitment to recruit a coach that could bring them a winning tradition.

That #karma tweet is looking pretty stupid right about now.
