South Carolina Illinois getting extra chippy
- Thread starter Phil's Rug
- Start date
The SEC claims everything. They wanted Bama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina in the playoff. Had all these teams won their bowls, they most definitely would have talked it up.
I agree they would have talked it up and I'd have said that's ridiculous
I also believe now they'll say those games meant nothing
That's what I'm saying. It doesn't matter if you, I or the devil thinks it's legit; they market better than anybody.
South Carolina wanted this game. They've been at the forefront of the "I've renegotiated and returning" posts by their QB and DE. Saying this game meant nothing is equally ridiculous. Why didn't you say that?
To football fans and the fans that follow those teams wins count. You are not much of a fan.
You really are obtuse.
Of course wins by mich and ill today mean nothing to sec fans. But loses by SEC teams to Big doormats sure do.
That is clear Taunting and just disgusting how these loser Officials regularly call Taunting on players, but don't call it on the freaking Coach who's supposed to be setting an example for these Young Men. Bilema is a complete douche as usual - quite the "Role Model" for the Illinois Program.
I despise Bielema but it is fun to see the mighty SEC go down. AGAIN!
Weren't those posts about returning next year not for this game?
And yes it's absolutely as ridiculous if they wanted this game badly. Maybe more ridiculous
No one’s listening to you, Junior. All these teams are fighting like hell to win. The players are literally fighting. The coaches are fighting. The winners are celebrating. The losers are pissed. We don’t need your stupid-ass to gaslight us. We can see for ourselves what the truth is. Go back to your fake Christmas party.
Me too. If they played a team in any other conference I would be rooting for Bielema to get rocked.
Absolutely disagree - Illinois was taking inordinate amounts of time to substitute including walking one defensive substitute at a time onto the field! (And players going off the field walking slowly off). The rule is utterly ridiculous as currently structured with no time limit on defense to make substitutions - just stupid. The defense should get AT MOST 10 seconds (one-quarter of the play clock) to make its substitutions after the Offense makes its last substitution (i.e., 10 seconds would restart if Offense makes a new substitution). But after the 10 seconds expires, the Ref should clear the Center to snap it - if the defense doesn't clear too many men on the field before the ultimate snap, they should be penalized as 10 seconds is plenty of time to run on and off the field.
Strangely enough it seems like the players and coaches want to win these games. 🤪
Sellars played. I didn't get to watch enough of their defense to know if the DE did. I'm going to assume he did.
Coaches get paid to coach
Players get paid to play (unless the opt out)
Doesn't alter the meaning of the games in the grand scheme
Hell, I want to beat my wife and kids are everything--that's what competitors do--doesn't give something meaning
I don't remember which game, but I took note that the defense tried to pull the slow walk and the ref looked at him walking off and signaled ready to play. The guy had to sprint off and barely made it.
But...when does a kid ever not play when they're returning?
I've never seen a kid opt out with eligibility remaining unless they were leaving
Hold a beer. It'll happen sooner than later I'm sure.
He can't move the goalposts as much as the Boise St kicker needed. Yikes.
You went from the games are meaningless, no one cares to that’s what competitors do. You’re a fraud.
Yes, referees have some ability to "manage" the slow walk of defensive substitutions. I am fairly certain I watched a game a few weeks ago where a flag was thrown for delay of game on the defense for taking too long. I think there was some audio captured from the ref that basically said "you took too long".
They should codify how long the defense has to make substitution starting when the offense runs new players on the field (and replaced players begin moving off the field. 10 seconds is more than enough time for defense too see what substitutes are coming on... and make their adjustments, including replaced players getting off the field. If the Offense initiates new substitutions, 10 sec clock restarts. Easy for Referee to keep a count and he can demonstrate he's started his count by swiping his arm.
Bielema had defensive replacements walking on field slowly.... and one at a time. Had the replacements walking slowly off the field one at a time. He then went and started taunting USCe team and coach by imitating the Center Judges Signal to hold the snap when standing behind Center on substitutions (i.e., holding both arms outstretched to side) while laughing. It was a ridiculous display by a Head Coach, especially a HC who was intentionally abusing the rule in a highly Unsportsmanlike way who caused USCe to call not 1, but 3 separate TOs with this intentional behavior. He should have been flagged, especially for the ridiculous taunting display - Officials throw Taunting flags on players for celebrating TDs, but they don't throw one on a Head Coach obviously acting in an unsportsmanlike way Taunting his opponent at midfield - utterly ridiculous and that fat pos eminently deserved to be penalized.
Nah the offense simply needs to make its substitutions sooner and not try to do it twice in some instances. Apparently whiny Beamer is the only coach who doesn’t understand this. I guess he’s too busy complaining about how his team was robbed out of getting into the playoffs.
If South Carolina didn’t want this game then Beamer needs to STFU about not making the playoffs.
How so? What's a scrimmage have to di with the playoff?
I don't believe you or anyone else thinks SMU or Indiana is better than USCe because of yesterday. I hope not anyone. You're smarter than that
Stop the bullshit. I watched the entire game after the end of the Alabama/Michigan game. South Carolina didn’t treat it like a scrimmage and tried hard to win. If you think that I’m off base for criticizing Beamer and South Carolina and the other 3 loss SEC teams whining about not getting in the playoffs and then losing bowl games, then you are crazy.
Why did you watch the entire scrimmage?
People caring about a game doesn't change the importance of it. The stakes aren't the same. Penn State vs SMU/Boise State look very different in a bowl game than a playoff game.
The objective is the "best" teams--we all know Indiana and SMU weren't "the best teams"--South Carolina and Bama were better options. I'm glad they weren't in because it made our path easier but they'll fix this. You can't reward teams for avoiding competition.
Just like us against Ole Miss last year--this game meant nothing. Most people compete at anything they do--but that doesn't mean it's the same intensity as when games matter.
Oh….,he is crazy😵💫
Know what’s crazier? People that argue with a crazy person all day long!😵💫😵💫😵💫
We don't call him LoadoInTheCommodo (i.e., full of shat) for noth'in..... He's a poser-troll to boot - how big an a$$hole douche do you have to be to be a poser-troll on an opposing team's board? LoadoInTheCommodo big.... that's how big.
What team is landos team this week? OSU or Michigan or others
