BARGE!

 

[abchew2]

A TD here would really give me the warm and fuzzies

 

[Oracle21]

Beaty and Laughery have been great today

 

[SummerofGeorge]

Any else read Beamers lips after the TD?

Best I could tell it was “Your mother’s a trucker!”

 

[UCantHideYer]

The Hankster!

Barge

In general, I'm pretty sick of coaches who endlessly yell, scream, and act like maniacs. This is the only profession where we somehow allow this, rather than drag them off to a mental institution.

Preach, brother.

Not sure what I think about it yet.. not super happy about it at the moment.

I thought it was a great troll. No histrionics, no name-calling… just a substitution signal and a grin. All with the knowledge it would blow Beamer’s top.

 

[abchew2]

W or L this has been something

Was worried that it could not be entertaining to our detriment. Happy Bret had very different plans

 

[LFOD]

Laughery’s play has been shocking to me in these past few games.

 

[CDRUSN]

Damn, these Illini are playing with some fire! I love this team and coaching staff.

 

[New Creation]

Our line is starting to take over. Looking like a Bret team…

 

[tcb13]

Love the loaded line and run it right at them

 

[derrick6]

"They are going to GIVE him the first down spot" I hate these announcers!

 

[Epsilon]

“give him” the first down spot. How bout he earned it

 

[FoundersClub]

This is wild for a bowl game.

 

[Illinifan533]

Just keep running it at them

 

[Epsilon]

He made 1st down with forward motion.
Horrible spot.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Go on make the money sign 24

 

[IllinoisGrad0609]

I wonder what ESPN told these announcers before the game. It's obvious the slant is real.

Yep. Society allowing this is a pretty serious blight to my mind. I've recently ventured into the world of officiating and I'm not standing for coaches acting like toddlers.

 

[KyBourbon]

South Carolina d-line is getting tired.

 

[TheChief4Life]

Holding call! I wanted to see Beamer face!

 

[abchew2]

If their coach wasn’t such a Dbag I would maybe have hang-ups on the taunt but with what little I’ve seen from him in just this game. Very warranted and smart

 

[TheodoreRex]

I need to confess, early in the season I was very critical of Laughery, but he really must've been hurt because he has been very impressive late in this season.
