The Arkansas
Razorbacks shut out LSU in a 17-0 victory Saturday night in Fayetteville. The win broke a streak of 17 straight
Southeastern Conference losses for the Hogs.
LSU was ranked 17th prior to the game and the highly superstitious
Razorback football coach Bret Bielema says he will not be shaving anytime
soon. Bielema commented "I'm participating in No Shave November, but
the fact that the Hogs had lost 17 straight SEC games, LSU was rated 17th
and we beat them 17-0 is too much to ignore".
"I have
a huge superstition of wearing a windbreaker on game day. I'll never get away
from that. I tried to but I couldn't, and now I’m through with shaving” said
Bielema.
If the
Razorbacks win a game, Coach Bielema will eat the same food the next three
weeks, wear the same underwear, and avoid being around his wife.
"I
wanna give the people of Arkansas a championship. I do want that. Sounds silly
because life's not about that but in a culture like this, those things mean a
lot," Bielema explained.
"When I
hear people talk about a 1964 championship and it's 2014 and they talk about it
like it's yesterday, you know it's important to 'em or they have mental issues.”
