Bielema will be speaker for game featuring JUCO team of Netflix fame

FAYETTEVILLE — Before taking part in TV coverage for the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema will make a pitstop in Mississippi.

Bielema is the keynote speaker for the Mississippi Bowl banquet Friday in Gulfport, Miss., according to the Kilgore News Herald. The Mississippi Bowl, a postseason game for junior college football teams, is scheduled to be played Sunday between East Mississippi Community College and Texas-based Kilgore College.

EMCC was featured in the Netflix documentary series Last Chance U earlier this year. Netflix is reportedly producing a second season of the show to be released next summer.
