Charlie Strong posts Bret Bielema 'borderline erotic' comment in Texas locker room
Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema apparently provided Texas with some bulletin board material heading into the 2015 season.
Last week during SEC Media Days, Bielema described watching his team take a knee to seal a 31-7 win over the Longhorns in last season’s Texas Bowl as “borderline erotic.”
Now, according to Texas head coach Charlie Strong, Bielema’s comments were posted on the walls in the Longhorns’ football building.
Charlie Strong says Bret Bielema's "erotic" comments have been posted in Texas' football building.

Strong asked if he had seen/heard Bielema's "borderline erotic" comment. "Yeah. Just walk into our locker room. They're posted."

Texas running back Johnathan Gray confirmed this during Big 12 Media Days and said that Strong handed sheets of paper to players as well.
Texas RB Johnathan Gray said Strong gave players a sheet with Bielema's "borderline erotic" comments. Said they threw it in trash.

The Longhorns went 6-7 in Strong’s first season with the program – a record he characterized as unacceptable. It appears Strong thinks Bielema’s comments can be another source of motivation for the team moving forward.
