Some of us know how Bret Bielema, the head coach at Arkansas, met his wife. While he was at Wisconsin, he went to Vegas and met his wife, Jen, at a casino.

According to foxsports.com, Bielema talked to FOX Sports Radio’s Clay Travis on Tuesday morning and spilled every last detail.

“I always say ‘I have a good memory.’ I don’t know if I remember the opening line, but I remember the opening sequence,” Bielema said. “It was about eight years ago, I still had some game, brought some A-game. The thing I didn’t do or what I do. I was with some guys with Wisconsin, one of them might have had a [Wisconsin] shirt on. I didn’t. I told her I was an MBA history professor.”

So, Bielema was apparently a history professor that we didn’t know about. The former Badgers head coach thought somewhat in-depth about his little lie as well.

“That was my MO,” he said. “My MO back in the day was, before I got too well known, I always went back as a history professor. Usually you don’t talk to a lot of history professors, you know? If anybody ever caught me off-guard and asked me what I studied or what I was a history professor [in], I went with ‘European religions’ because I don’t know if anybody really knows what that means.”

If Bielema didn’t want to talk to anybody, he stuck with his plan.

“My buddy was always an astronaut, so I had to come up with something equally absurd,” Bielema said. “But I used it a lot on airplanes, in situations when you didn’t want to talk to someone. If you’re sitting on a plane ride and you tell someone you’re a history professor in ‘European religions’ they usually leave you alone, but they think you’re in a different stratosphere.”

That is true. If some random guy told me he was a history professor in European religions, I’d put my earbuds in my ears and call it a conversation. And, hey, if it got him his current wife, what’s a little pointless lie to help jump-start the rest of your personal life?
