TAMPA, Fla. — University of Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema may have managed to anger officials from two conferences following the Outback Bowl.
Bielema tore into Tuesday’s crew following the Badgers’ 21-17 loss to Tennessee, saying, “I guarantee you I’m never going to schedule a game that’s officiated by WAC officials, that’s for sure.”
Problem is, Tuesday’s officials were from the Mountain West Conference, not the Western Athletic Conference.
Bielema appeared to have some legitimate gripes. On UW’s first touchdown, senior quarterback Tyler Donovan’s was shaken up after what appeared to be a helmet-to-helmet hit by Tennessee safety Er
