After taking the Arkansas job in December, Bret Bielema has gone above and beyond to connect with the Razorback fans. Bielema is active on Twitter - although sometimes he struggles with it - and has been responding to Hogs fans who are more than willing to send him photos of their devotion to the Woo Pig Sooie cause.
Check out this ridiculous tattoo one Arkansas fan got, of Tusk the Razorback taking out LSU's Mike the Tiger:

If you are on Twitter, you're denying yourself a simple pleasure by not following Bielema. I don't know if he'll rein in the retweets or embrace them as the season arrives, but I am really hoping for the latter.
Bonus Arkansas longread: Last month Grantland had a great read on Bielema's decision to jump to the Arkansas job and how he's embracing the challenges of the SEC West.
Bonus SEC coach tweet:
Don’t know why they call it a carwash we brought our plane (number sign) confused

I pray that Coach Muschamp thought (number sign) would translate to #, but considering his proclivity for hashtags, I think this is just a great little Twitter joke. Well done.
