Ohio State Proves the Big 10 Sticks Together--and Brett Bielema is Okay With That

If you follow college football closely you are probably well aware of the lack of love between Arkansas Head Coach Brett Bielema, his wife Jen, and the Big 10. Yeah, not just the school he was with--Wisconsin--but the whole dang conference.

Well, at least Ohio State along with the Badgers--and Bielema is okay with that.

Bielema spent six good years with the Badgers, went 68-24, won the conference title from '10-'12, and took the team to six straight bowls. With that on his resume you would think that the conference would have a soft spot for him.

But than he left for the bright lights and bigger stage of the SEC--and the Badgers and apparently the Buckeyes have not taken kindly to it.

His wife, Jen, has gotten a lot of attention from Big 10 fans over her #kharma tweet a couple weeks ago; especially when her husband's team lost to Rutgers. The wife of one of Ohio State's assistant coaches caused an internet tiff last weekend, and it appears now that the head coach, Urban Meyer, has chimed in as well:



If you didn't feel like pressing play the key part is when a reporter asked him if he missed Brett Bielema and he responded with, "No, I'm good with Gary [current Badgers head coach Gary Anderson]."

Oh boy.

To his credit, Bielema has handled the mess well When asked about Meyer's comment he said the feeling is mutual.

Both teams are doing well so you would think that they would just move on, but apparently some bad blood was created and it's not going to go away anytime soon--should make for some interesting sound clips during the week.

With Ohio State playing Wisconsin and Arkansas playing Texas A&M can you imagine what will happen over Twitter should either team--or both--lose?
