As reporters guffawed, an embarrassed Bielema quickly made it clear that he meant to say he looked forward to hopping on a plane back to Fayetteville with his wife. He then hightailed it out of the press conference before he could say anything else that might make the rounds on the Internet.
The hilarious episode just adds to the collection of comments Bielema has made that he probably wishes he hadn’t. In September, the coach called out Ohio State for a supposedly easy schedule before, days later, Arkansas lost to Toledo.
That unexpected defeat sparked a three-game losing streak, one that had plenty of Razorbacks fans making un-funny comments about Bielema. But the Razorbacks have gotten back on track, winning four of their past five to move to 5-4 on the season, while scoring 170 points in their three most recent games.
