    Gee does tend to put his foot in his mouth from time to time. I really wonder how people like that get and keep these high level jobs. If some assistant coach or SID says the same things, I wonder if that person would be fired on the spot.

    That's what happens when you spend 64K on bow ties. It addles your brain because the blood circulation is cut off.

    Didn't know he was Mormon.

    And he was at Vandy. Believe he was the one who dumped the athletic department in with the intramurals.

    And he claims Barry Alvarez said Bret Bielema is a "thug" ...

    Not to get too cliched in my outrage, but if Gee said "you can't trust those damn Jews," Thee Ohio State University would've dragged him out of his office by the bow tie by now. I know Catholics have done some shitty shit over the last 1,000 years, but I feel we deserve a better antagonist that a dipshit like Gee.

    At least when Mencken was mocking Catholics, he did it with wit.

    Wonder how Gee's football coach who is Catholic and named after a pope feels about this ... not that I care much if that prick feels anything.

    I can't let a Bielema reference go by when this is out there.

    He's still going for two on Coach Brew!

    Fast-forward to Thursday; Brewster is now an assistant at Florida State (#NoleNation), where you cannot hunt an alligator with a pellet gun. Bielema is the head coach at Arkansas. They are not in the same conference, but they surely compete for some of the same players. And they still really don't like each other -- or at least Bielema made it clear he doesn't like Brewster, per these tweets:
