Of course they are. Have to stand proud now that Evil Illini are attacking them. So they're sending the Mullet Men to defend themselves. (Seriously, did JoePa require the mullets or something?)

Oh what a time for twitter to go down.

RHITIllini · Jul 26, 2012, 09:43 AM

Lots of internet trouble at the conference center there too. You'd think they would learn how to handle that volume of use

Juice · Jul 26, 2012, 09:44 AM

Glad it isn't just mine. Nothing will load.

illinidarrin · Jul 26, 2012, 09:47 AM

Gosh, i hate brett Bielema even more. he has some nerve to talk about high moral standards or whatever by not going after PSU players, and yet, he has no problem running up the score on teams.:rolleyes:

gandalf · Jul 26, 2012, 09:47 AM

FWIW, espn3.com working perfectly

He just goes after NC State and Maryland players is all. Guy is the biggest tool in the conference!

Beckman wishes his Mom happy birthday.

Honored and privileged to be there at B1G Media Days as Illinois' coach.

Juice · Jul 26, 2012, 10:03 AM

Beckman brings up the penn state situation before he was even asked. I like that.

Dan · Jul 26, 2012, 10:03 AM

Beckman addresses the Penn State situation.

"We did not go after them."

AHSIllini32 · Jul 26, 2012, 10:03 AM

Beckman calling out the ESPN article about the PSU stuff...atta boy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan · Jul 26, 2012, 10:05 AM

"Play at a tempo which we believe is the ILLINI TEMPO."

"We were in State College, but we were not on campus."

Juice · Jul 26, 2012, 10:06 AM

I really like when the truth comes out and others look stupid. I love it.

RHITIllini · Jul 26, 2012, 10:06 AM

I think I speak for a lot of us here when I say: "ESPN can take their spin doctor crap and shove it"

Matt Hayes from SN too. Let's see if he apologizes. Not holding my breath.

Juice · Jul 26, 2012, 10:12 AM

"we call it the team upstate, and I'm not afraid to say it." beckman on northwestern game. hahaha

Side note: I can't watch Kevin Wilson talk.

tdub35 · Jul 26, 2012, 10:16 AM

New report out of State College...

Six Illini football coaches were seen destroying multiple servers at Twitter's Headquarters. Penn State coaches walked by, but didn't acknowledge the beat down of the servers and are advising no one to use twitter today. They wished Illini coaches would have let them know they were going to shut down twitter beforehand.
