Beat Mizzou before Christmas
Beat South Carolina on New Year's Eve to get to 10-3
Is this not the best Illini holiday season ever?

Copy pasta from a later page..."I don't know, can you really go out and deck a guy after a loss? Maybe if we win Beamer can show his **** a little bit, just don't think it would be a good look after a loss."![]()
read a few pages after the game. I always like to see perspective from the other side
Josh covered it with both hands, just like he should.I was a lil nervous the SoCar defender was going to punch the ball outta Josh’s hands on that long run
Two things: (1) If I were a SC fan, I would say Bielema’s an !!! for doing that, but (2) Bret would never have lost his cool, his focus, and gone bat-crap crazy like Beamer did.Bielema definitely taunted the SC sideline. No doubt about it. But it’s fun when it’s our guy doing the taunting.
The play he made coming from 15 yards deep to cut down Sellers was just amazing!Matthew Bailey was absolutely everywhere out there on D. Like McCray, so great to see him healthy and putting on a great show in a big game.
On that outside run McCray looked like he did as a freshman. He looked healthy and fast!!!Matthew Bailey was absolutely everywhere out there on D. Like McCray, so great to see him healthy and putting on a great show in a big game.
I’d sign off on that being his statue at memorial stadium.I love Bret Bielema.
I love Josh Whitman.
I want a T shirt with a picture of Bret standing with his arms outstretched in that horrible “taunting” stance.
so sorry you are having to go through chemo treatments. God Bless you & hold you until you are well. Hopefully this wonderful victory will help lift your spirits. Blessing to you in this new year.What a masterful performance! It was in my backyard (59 miles away but I couldn't go because of chemo treatments and a weakened immune system.) But the defense contained them, not breaking down and making them travel the entire field to score. The offense did just enough to control the tempo and refused to get rattled. And Bielema and company outcoached their coaches in almost every phase. I think I'll stay up all night and watch the game over and over...
GO ILLINI!!!! never been more proud!
I also thought it was interesting that the announcing crew repeatedly mentioned taunting, expounded about how a player would never get away with that and the refs would throw a flag very quickly, but they never mentioned unsportsmanlike conduct, which is also a penalty, and would be called very quickly if a player behaved in the manner Beamer did.The ESPN sideline announcer is a real punk (back round), used the word taunting way to many times.

Hand up-I was one of them.I just remember how many people on here were so against him being hired . It was a lot .
Bret was hardly well liked in Illiniland

And most importantly… we win.Bielema definitely taunted the SC sideline. No doubt about it. But it’s fun when it’s our guy doing the taunting.
I'm a huge fan of the new profile picTwo things: (1) If I were a SC fan, I would say Bielema’s an !!! for doing that, but (2) Bret would never have lost his cool, his focus, and gone bat-crap crazy like Beamer did.
Guys, one of my good friends from central Illinois but who is somewhat of an Iowa fan (he went to WIU) said Iowa will come for Brett. We have got to throw the entire bag at him. He is exactly what we need here. Do not repeat the sins of the past letting greatness leave for greener pastures
