Title: Gamble pays off for Badgers coach: “I got the best recruit ever,” says Bielema Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on September 30, 2011, 07:11:28 AM http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/wisconsin-badgers-football-coach-bret-bielema-finds-love-in-las-vegas-nebraska-cornhuskers-092911
Quote Bret Bielema was playing blackjack at the Wynn Las Vegas three years ago in the early evening when he spotted a smiling blonde, brown-eyed woman wearing a teal tank top, blue jeans and black flip-flops. He was so intrigued he got up from the table without his chips to walk over and introduce himself. He was in town for an annual University of Wisconsin athletics fundraising event but didn’t tell the woman, Jen, he was the Badgers' football coach. Over the next five hours, they talked and played. When Jen walked away from the table, she had won $600 and, most important, had exchanged telephone numbers with Bielema. Although the two didn’t see each other again for another five months, it was a life-changing moment for college football’s most eligible bachelor. Because, after years of relationships that didn’t hold up under the grind and constant pressure of coaching, Bielema had finally met his future wife, Jen, whose last name he requested be withheld from this story. “I got the best recruit ever,” says Bielema, 41. “It was my best sales job ever to get her. I’m glad I waited.” Title: Re: Gamble pays off for Badgers coach: “I got the best recruit ever,” says Bielema Post by: 2Stater on September 30, 2011, 09:06:27 AM http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/wisconsin-badgers-football-coach-bret-bielema-finds-love-in-las-vegas-nebraska-cornhuskers-092911 Quote Bret Bielema was playing blackjack at the Wynn Las Vegas three years ago in the early evening when he spotted a smiling blonde, brown-eyed woman wearing a teal tank top, blue jeans and black flip-flops.
