The Arkansas Razorbacks scored a big win against the Texas Longhorns in the Texas Bowl to end last year and head coach Bret Bielema called it an “erotic” experience.

Bret Bielema stole the show at SEC Media Days with his custom Nike Air Force 1’s and then he topped himself with a stream of quotes when he addressed the media in attendance.

Bielema had the audience waiting with bated breath as he spoke about the growth his team made since he left Wisconsin three years ago, the other great coaches and competition in the SEC and how he felt when his team closed the year with a win in the Texas Bowl against the Texas Longhorns.

Bleacher Report’s Barrett Sallee shared this nugget that is sure to get more than a few laughs.

Borderline erotic.

That’s what a 31-7 win gets you.

Never thought I would type those words as a college football blogger, but that’s the type of gold you get during the four-day event that is SEC Media Days and that’s the type of gold you get from Bielema who is rapidly becoming one of the best speakers in college sports.

He’s not quite on the level of the Steve Spurrier’s or Les Miles’ of the world, but he’s right in that second tier of the great quotes in college football and when he says beating Texas to get to 7-6 is “borderline erotic” that’s Hall of Fame stuff right there.

I already can’t wait for his first press conference when the 2015 season kicks off and it could be a special one for Bielema and the Hogs who improved from three wins to seven wins in Bielema’s second year and could be a contender for the SEC west title this year.
