As if Saturday night's loss wasn't painful enough for Wisconsin fans, former coach Bret Bielema's wife poured salt in the Badgers' wound with a spiteful tweet shortly after the team's heartbreaking defeat.
For those who missed it, Wisconsin was driving late against Arizona State when quarterback Joel Stave went to center the ball for a potential game-winning field goal. But due to some confusion on the refs' part, the Badgers did not have enough time to spike the ball after Stave's kneel and the Sun Devils came away with the narrow victory.
What was nearly a thrilling, road victory for the Badgers turned into a devastating 32-30 loss.
Meanwhile, down in Fayetteville, Ark., Jen Bielema couldn't help but feel a little happy with the Badgers' misfortune. Bielema's husband, Bret, left Wisconsin for Arkansas after leading the Badgers to three consecutive Rose Bowls.

This got quite a response out of the Twitterverse:
I'm not sure you understand the meaning of that word. RT @jenbielema: #karma

“@jenbielema: #karma” and you wonder why no one misses either of you. Karma will come when you're run out of Arkansas.

Bielema defended herself with this retweet, but by that time the damage was already done:
AMEN! “@Mike_Baker24: @Taylor_TV_ @jenbielema A little harsh huh? She is referring to the WI fans that bashed her & Coach B when they left.”
