BRENT BIELEMA: TRUTHIN' IT!

by Orson on Feb 3, 2006 10:01 AM EST

Today's Word: Truthin', this time brought to you by second-day coach Bret Bielema of Wisconsin, who dismissed miscreant and talent Booker Stanley from the team for his involvement in two nastyish off the field incidents in the past nine months. Bully to Bret for making this decision, since so many of today's namby-pamby coaches pay mere lip service to the idea of discipline. Take us, for example: when we were indicted for selling human organs on the black market in '93, in the midst of our Maxwell Award-winning season at fullback for the San Diego Aztecs, did we cry? No sir we did not, and held our head high as we took the charges with aplomb. Of course, the charges were dismissed; witnesses do sometimes voluntarily flee the country and take flight following the unsolved bombings of their homes, but...isn't THAT what freedom is all about? The freedom not only to stand and fight, but to flee? Bret, we've got our eye on you...and America likes what it sees. [/stephencolbert]

Bret Bielema: he just gets it.

Bret’s decision was undoubtedly aided by the fact that Stanley sucks donkey balls. I cannot express what a crap running back he was. Think a fat, slow Ron Dayne.

I know!

“Crap” as an adjective represents skilled usage of multicultural slang. Bravo, Brian!

A “fat, slow Ron Dayne”? That’s pretty rarefied territory indeed. When I think of that I think of the fat kid who did the vault in the gymnastics sequence from “Old School.”

He’s not so much a “slow, fat Ron Dayne”, more like a “slow, fat Ron Dayne who can’t run the ball”. Remember, a “slow, fat Ron Dayne” still managed to gain a couple yards now and then.

Here’s the link to photos of the fight that led to Booker’s first arrest, in May of 2005. It’s awfully bloody out there.

Just to clarify…Bielema.
Did you know he has an Iowa Hawkeye tattoo on his leg?

No, we didn’t…but damn if that isn’t a tricky name to spell.

Well, that link isn’t working. He beat the hell out of some guy, though. And, volpundit, really? How did that not come up in the job interview?

Um… does it? I’m missing something.

If we’re talking about one anglo culture to another, then yes.

Yeah, the Hawkeye tattoo is huge and on one of his calves. he either played or coached there. I’m too lazy to do the necessary googling to find out. You never see this guy in shorts.
