HOOVER, Ala. – What was becoming a rather mundane week at SEC media days desperately needed a spark.
Fortunately it was Bret Bielema’s turn at the podium Wednesday.
The fourth-year coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks brought the sexy – he used the word a week-leading three times – to The Wynfrey Hotel’s main ballroom and provided the most entertainment so far at an event overloaded with irrelevant questions, bland answers and canned quotes.
“At Arkansas, we’re not built very sexy,” said Bielema, who is 18-20 in three seasons leading the program. “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, and at some point we’ll get to where we want to be.”
