Texas Tech beat the Arkansas 35-24 yesterday and that had Kliff Kingsbury feeling all warm and fuzzy about his team. It also had him feeling like he wanted to shove it right into Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema's doughy face.Bielema recently caused a stir when he criticized Ohio State's strength of schedule after the Buckeyes beat Virginia Tech in the first week while boasting about how tough it is to play in the SEC.

Bielema's squad has since gone on to lose to unranked teams from Toledo and Texas Tech. Not content to let Bielema's words on the scheduling come back to bite him, Kingsbury went back to the offseason to further pile on to the hapless coach. Bielema evidently spoke at convention of Texas high school coaches and talked about the various ways his style of football would kick your ass."Ohio State has one remaining game with a ranked opponent," Bielema said. "We have eight remaining against teams who are ranked."
Bielema later added: "If anyone tries to argue that, it's nonsense."
The Razorbacks, who have not played a conference game yet, are 1-2.[ESPN]"He stood up and said if you don't throw to the fullback, we'll kick your ass, and if you throw it 70 times a game, we'll kick your ass and, uh, he just got his ass kicked twice in a row and probably next week by [Texas] A&M as well. "That did feel good.''
