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

I don’t care if you are actually Mrs. Bielema, I support this post.

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.

this is the key. You're an adult. You don't lose your sh!t because someone made a gesture.

What you do is make a gesture back. It only takes 1 finger. Over annunciating F U is an equally adult response. You could even get creative and use both, but going nuts is not on the list.

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!

Chemo sucks but hang in there. There's a light at the end of the tunnel. #cancersurvivorsince'06

I’ll admit I initially wanted Leipold . But BB was always in my top 3.

He was available , an Illinois native & knew how to win in the B1G . It was as close to a no brainer as possible . Josh canned Lovie as soon as he found out Bret wanted the job and the money part was not an obstacle .

As brilliant as it was hiring Brad , Josh knew how important the football coach meant after the failed attempt with Lovie

A football coach we wanted to keep has left once in the history of the program when Mack went to one of the bluest of blue blood programs. That is hardly “past sins”.

And there is no way Whitman is letting him leave for freaking Iowa.

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."
Why are the GameCocks obsessed with 🐔?

Wow, butt hurt. They think they have been Bama for past 10 years, GMAFB.

I'm mad we didn't kick a field goal at the very last second, just to troll Beamer even more. VERY entertaining game today. We'll be pointing to this game in the future, THAT is when Illini Football became relevant again.

Ehh, we were 8.5 dogs in the game. You pull that trick when you can make their boosters pay and send yours home extra happy. 😉😁
