I guess Bret Bielema thinks this is a clever argument, but…
“The reason the SEC is talked about all the time is one team, because of their dominance. But I didn’t come here to play Alabama. I came here to beat Alabama.
“You can take Saban’s record when he was at Michigan State and when he was a coach in the Big Ten and put it against mine, and he can’t compare.”
The SEC finished with four teams in the top ten last season. I can’t wait for somebody to start comparing Bielema’s and Saban’s SEC records after this season plays out.

Awww that’s cute.

He DOES have a bit of a point. When Saban was at MSU and in the Big 10 and was unable to oversign and have a University collectively fellate him, he was a pretty pedestrian coach

On the other hand, he was also at a basketball school which hadn’t been worth a shit in football since Ara Parsegian settled for a tie against Duffy Daugherty.

Not to mention that it was pretty early in his head coaching career.

Congrats, Biels. You just sicced the other 12 SEC schools on your team. And you also pissed off Bama. Both are bad ideas.

+1. A gallactically stupid thing for Bielema to say. The over/under on Bielema’s tenure at Arkansas IMHO is 4 years. I’m taking the under.

Sorry, the “scoring summary”…specifically, the two 60+ yard TD passes AFTER the score was 69-13.

The team Saban took over had not had a winning season in 5 yrs and the team Bielema took over had been to the Rose bowl the year before, (in sarcastic fonts) so the talent level was so even at the two schools. Something tells me Bielema will be on the other side of the coin on this go around, lets see how he does.

If Bielema wins a game his first year at Arkansas, he’ll do better than Saban’s first year at Alabama (officially 0-6).

Actually, that’s 2-6. Not 0-6.

Bret is like Lane without the comedy. He will have to up his game before the Destin Spring Break and SEC Media Daze. Points to Bret though on his 3-for-1 by elevating himself over and above Nick without a mention of Irvin or The Hat.

I’ve been hearing this same argument by Big Ten fans: “It’s not really SEC dominance but Alabama dominance.” YET they forget 4 different SEC teams have won BCS titles during this streak. You have to go back 60 years to find 4 different Big Ten teams winning a national title.

Big Ten fans can be hard headed. It’s pretty hard to ignore fourty percent of the top ten being from one conference, and a couple more knocking on the door to break in.

Big Ten fans are as delusional as they come. The reality check of the last 6 years has been really hard on them.

Don’t his comments kind of say that the SEC really is great and that Saban’s just not so great?
That is: Saban wasn’t a good coach until he went to the SEC where everything is better.

All you have to do is win. If you beat Alabama consistently, then you get the bragging rights. Until then, lets’ count National Championships.
