283351 1 WHAT WAS BRETT BIELEMA THNKING?

As a Spartan fan, I would like to thank Wisconsin coach Brett Bielema for his numerous F-ups this past weekend and handing us the game on a silver platter.

I’m willing to give Brett the benefit of the doubt though. After all, it was the day after Halloween and he may have been trying to dress up as John L Smith.

That was the only logical conclusion I could come up with as Bielema called timeout while MSU ran their field goal team on with less than 20 seconds left in the game.

WIth MSU having no timeouts, and no opportunity to spike the ball, they hurried FG kicker Brett Swenson for what many call “fast-field goal”

Bielema claimed after the game that he wanted to set up his FG block team.

Is there any other coach in NCAA football with a brain that would have done this?

I would take a hurried field goal in a heartbeat over one where guys are set up and time is not an issue.

Combine that with Bielema’s multiple sideline warning penalties and an unsportsmanlike penalty that aided a MSU touchdown, and its surprising that he hasn’t been hung in effigy sighting in Madison yet.

The video after the jump…

What'd you think of this?
