One half the state of South Carolina holds Beamer on a pedestal similar to our treatment of Bret. The other half of South Carolina fans root for Clemson.

God, this win gets sweeter with every passing hour. 
Fewer times this year than last year. We're making progress!How many times did we, the sane Illini fans of Loyalty, collectively fire and rehire Aaron Henry this year?
Yea, that video of him losing it is being sent to a lot of USC recruiting targets.
A little disingenuous as McCray and AL are both starter-worthy backs. But point well made.
Yes, KU was ranked at the time. But does that ranking really count for much now?

Honestly the best part has been the memes. They just keep on giving.
Anyone else been on Loyalty for 8+ hours today?
Great memories with the community.

They did finish their season pretty strong so still think it counts. We just broke them early

What a piece of work. Bush league? If you really want to see bush league coach beamer, just look in a mirror!!!!!!
There is some pretty hard coping going on in this. To lose to such an “inferior” opponent has to not compute.
I didn't root against SC before today in football but I will now for reasons similar to why I root against Auburn in hoops and I dint feel I'm alone in my thought process.
Not OP. Not the ranking so much, but blowing the game to UNC in a packed house which, at the time, didn’t happen often, was a much needed win. I was there and we all seemed to feel like we could do something special this season because we finally didn’t lay an egg.

My nephew is at Ole Miss so my sister gave me the rundown on Beamer earlier today. If anything, she under-sold what a d-bag he was.
Announcers were absolute dogwater... ESPN/SEC announcers will always be a headache but this was another level ridiculous GMAB
Illinois was (legally) taking their time sending in defensive subs when USC was trying to go fast. This was getting under Beamer's skin.What set off Beamer, i missed it? Could someone give the devil's advocate's position please?
There is another situation. On the kickoff where the hootenanny happened, the SC receiver put his arms out straight. This is an almost university signal to tell the receiving team, "I'm not running this out, we'll take the touchback." This is an unofficial signal and not part of the fair catch rules. So the SC receiver did the arm thing, caught the ball, hesitated and then threw the ball across the endzone to the second receiver, who ran it to the 25 (which is where they were going to have the ball if they took the touchback). While there is no rule against this, it is in the family of a fake kneel down.
So, an Illinois player was injured a few plays later and SC had all the momentum. BB came out to check on the player. He turned to the SC sideline and extended his arms. THIS IS JUST MY GUESS. He either was saying, "Just so you know, we're subbing this guy out." Or, in reference to the kickoff, "Nice bleeping play you cheap bleepers."
Either way, Beamer totally lost control of himself and BB lived rent-free in Beamer's head for the rest of the game.
