In the midst of a rant about the BCS system, Notre Dame, and being disrespected, an emotional Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema broke down and started crying about his personal life, too.
“When you’re not married, you’ve got to kind of go to other people,” Bielema said.
Bielema’s plush office sits high above the grandstands at Camp Randall Stadium, with a panoramic view of the field. But yes, it sometimes gets a little lonely at the top. The coach is single and says he isn’t currently in a serious relationship.
“I’m pretty much trying to focus on the football team,” Bielema said. “I’m not saying it’s not available, or out there. But at this point, it’s very difficult, that side of my life. But also, probably because I’ve been stubborn in the past. I’ve had several multi-year relationships, and you know, when it comes time to put that little diamond ring on, I tend to get a little nervous.”
Since we can’t rewind time and watch a Sugar Bowl matchup that wasn’t terrible, we’ve done the next best thing - Bret Bielema, welcome to the Dating Game!
The Host: Today we have several contestants who are ready to play our game. Our first lucky bachelor today is Bret Bielema of Madison, Wisconsin. Bret impressed the nation as a first year head football coach leading the Wisconsin Badgers to a 12-1 record.
Bret Bielema: Thank you. I really appreciate this opportunity. It’s not often I get an excuse to take a break from watching game film, practice film, or other films.
The Host: Well then I’m sure you prepared yourself well by watching past episodes of this show - let’s get right to the game. Bret, ask any of our three contestants a question to get to know them better.
Bret Bielema: Contestant number one, I have a tattoo of a Tiger Hawk on my calf to remember my time as an Iowa Hawkeye. If I got a tattoo on my other calf to remember you, what would it be and why?
Contestant One: A pear because I’m sweet, tasty, and I’ve got the curves to match.
Bret Bielema: Mmm, that’s just the kind of fruit I’d love to nibble on. Contestant number three, I’ve worked under some great college football coaches like Hayden Fry, Bill Snyder, Kirk Ferentz, and Barry Alvarez. If I was under you, what would I be doing?
Contestant Three: I love being in control. I’d keep you busy all day long. And if you dare disobey me, the fun’s only just begun.
Bret Bielema: Oh my, I think you’re going to spend a long time disciplining me. Contestant number two, it is my responsibility to know the rules and how they are interpreted. I’ve given you a copy of Rule 3-2-5; read it to me in your naughtiest voice so I know how it is interpreted by you.
Contestant Two: When the ball is free-kicked, the game clock will be started and subsequently stopped when the ball is dead by rule.
Bret Bielema: That’s so hot. Alright, I’m having trouble deciding, so my last question is for all three of you. If you were a voter in the Harris Poll for the 2006-2007 season, where would you rank Wisconsin?
Contestant One: Twelfth. Wisconsin was 11-1 at the end of the season, but that’s only because of an incredibly weak non-conference schedule. Bowling Green, Western Illinois, and San Diego State?
Contestant Two: Twelfth? I think you’re giving the Badgers way too much credit. Not only was their OOC schedule weak, but they didn’t even play the best team in their conference, Ohio State. The only time Wisconsin actually faced legitimate competition, they got completely dominated by Michigan.
Contestant Three: Hey now, going 11-1 is still an accomplishment, no matter who you’re playing.
Bret Bielema: Thank you!
Contestant Three: That said, there simply were too many deserving teams this year. Ohio State, Florida, LSU, Michigan, and Boise State are obviously better than Wisconsin. Furthermore, teams like USC, Louisville, West Virginia, Arkansas, Auburn, and Notre Dame are all legitimately better than Wisconsin, too.
Bret Bielema: ARKANSAS? WE BEAT ARKANSAS! And don’t even get me started about Notre Dame again. Forget this waste of time; I’m out of here.
The Host: But Bret, you haven’t even met the contestants yet! Wait! Come back!
