5 Best Quotes from Coach Bielema at SEC Media Days
The Red & Black

SEC Media Days mark the first of the media frenzy to kick off the upcoming football season. The media days are meant for the media and fans to learn more about how the upcoming SEC football season may shake out, but they are also meant to squeeze some funny quotes, stories, and one-liners out of the head SEC ball coaches we each hold near and dear to our hearts. These are the top five best things my favorite head coach had to say at the 2016 SEC Media Days, Coach Bret Bielema because there is always something funny to be said by Coach B.

1. "I understand the Michigan-Notre Dame thing sounds sexy to everybody else, but I think Michigan and Arkansas sounds sexy."

This quote came in reference to Michigan canceling the SEC-Big 10 match up they had scheduled with Arkansas in the 2018 and 2019 seasons. I'd have to agree with Coach B on this one, a Michigan versus Arkansas, Big 10 versus SEC matchup would have been a sexy event filled with Harbaugh khaki pants and a lot of hog calling. Oh well, we didn't want a bunch of 'northerners' in Fayetteville anyway. Also, I imagine this was close to Coach B's reaction when he got the news.

2. "At Arkansas, we're not built very sexy, we're just kind of a work in progress. We need a lot of time in the bathroom to get ready and come out and look great. But when we do, we'll stop time."

Man Coach Bielema's word throughout media days must have been 'sexy'. But again he hit it right on the nose. We're not built sexy, let's be real, no one is. We all take way too much time in the bathroom, it isn't just us hogs in Arkansas.

3. "That's when I believe divine intervention did happen. I'm a believer."

A quote in reference to the play with many names... 'the fourth and lateral', 'the fourth and 25', 'the fourth and miracle', or as I like to call it 'the play we beat 18th ranked Ole Miss at Ole Miss'. We, along with Coach B know that play was a miracle. A miracle that will go down in Arkansas football history, thank you, Hunter Henry.

4. "First and foremost, if you're not invited to (a proposed junior class NFL scouting combine), if you even think about coming out, you're a moron."

I'd have to 100 percent agree with this Coach Bielema quote about college players leaving school early for the NFL. If you aren't top notch, stellar, or fantastic in college, you can't expect to be drafted high in the NFL Draft. Stay in school college players Coach B and hog fans everyone needs you stay.

5. "When you come across an Arkansas fan, they let you know it. They let you know it in a variety of different ways, yelling Pig Sooie or Woo Pig, a bump, interference that cuts you off in traffic, whatever it is, you know who they are, why they are there and what they love."

The best thing I have to say about this quote is damn straight and WOO PIG SOOIE.

Thank you, Coach Bielema, for being more than just Arkansas's head football coach, but also a thorough source of great commentary and witty comments about SEC football. Long live head Coach Bret Bielema.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
