NEWS AND NOTES FROM BRET BIELEMA'S COMMENTS AT B1G MEDIA DAYS

Bielema followed Ron Zook, and let loose some entertaining quotes for the media in attendance here today.  Here are the highlights:

ON THE TRADITION AT WISCONSIN:

“People write about history, what I want to concentrate on is the future history of our program.”

ON WISCONSIN'S IMAGE:

“We aren’t real sexy. I always say we aren’t the first girl you’d take to prom, but we aren’t the last either.”

ON COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S REPUTATION:

“When I became a head coach some of the older coaches in our profession expressed to me that as a younger coach with the success I was having that I could be a great voice for our profession.”

“I’d say hammer the guys that aren’t doing it the right way.”

“If you’re consciously aware of breaking a rule, there’s no excuse for that.”

"I’m with the kids 2 or 3 hours out of a day, but I tell them, I don’t know what you’re going to be doing at 1am on a Saturday.”

ON KEEPING PLAYERS GROUNDED:

“So many voices that go into a young man’s head.  Could be mom or dad, or the pretty girl he’s dating or trying to date and they all tell him how good he is.”

ON HIS RECRUITING STRATEGY WITH REGARD TO CHARACTER:

"I always say that in college football you recruit your own problems"

ON ARGUING WITH HIS FATHER:

“Everybody argues with their dad.  My dad never played the game and he thinks he’s Vince Lombardi."
