Fat Bert taunting

[littlez]

Love the whole thing. Not sure what you guys are bitching about. It’s Big Ten vs SEC for college football dominance. These games mean something.

it was effing hilarious

I was a student manager during 2 of Bret’s years at Iowa. I guess I have a different opinion, one of the nicest, most genuine guys I got to know.

Seriously the message board Geniuses don't know what the f*** they're talking about. I'm shocked. 75% of these guys never put a jock on after Junior High

Watch his presser. He wasn’t taunting the coach and it wasn’t about substitutions. It was about a kickoff signal.

It was pretty funny how biased the espn announcers were for the SEC. It was killing them how South Carolina was being taken down.

ESPN was running cover for the SEC once again. Everybody is talking about substitutions when the entire thing was about the kickoff.

Alabama and South Carolina going down has got to be killing the ESPN and Gameday bags of air. So much for all that talk about the SEC getting screwed out of a 4th playoff team.

Bielema lived in Beamer's head all night.
In reality, Beamer seems to have started the nonsense with his attempt to game the 'no runback' signal - and then run it back.. Dirtbag move.
Bielema just responded in kind with a dirtbag move.
And then kicked their ass!

Bert was all “oh, you wanna dance?”

In the early 2000’s Wisconsin was hosting Penn State and if was the year they had that stupid rule where a kickoff out of bounds was only a 5 yard penalty and a 15 second run-off. Wisconsin scored with something like 42 seconds left in the first half, so Bert then had his kicker purposely shank the kickoff out of bounds three consecutive times - resulting in the end of the half. Bielema was laughing hysterically while Joe Pa was furious. The ABC cameraman followed Joe Pa on his way to the locker room, and a furious Paterno snapped at the camera and yelled, “Get outta here!” In that east coast accent. It was comedy gold.

Bret knows the rules and will take advantage of them to give his team an edge. Personally, I would love to have a coach like that at Iowa.

The rule was that the game clock started when the kicker kicked the ball on a free kick (not when touched by the receiving team).

Wisconsin scored with 23 seconds left in the half. BB had his kick off coverage team intentionally run down the field (off sides) before kicking off. Penn State could choose between declining the penalty with poor field position or a five yard penalty and rekick (no 15 second runoff). Penn St chose for Wisconsin to rekick it three times, never getting another play off from scrimmage. It was a terrible rule, which BB exploited to his advantage. Seems pretty smart on his part.


13:10 mark of the video. Joe Pa is pissed, grabbing the official. Our buddy Dave Witvoet is the referee 😂

I don't know why we didn't go to a no huddle offense for a few series. That fat a$$ been fired everywhere he has coached

Can someone explain to me what exactly made that taunting? I don’t know what that arm movement Bielema made meant.

 

[Iron Doc]

The exchange is still going on on social media.
Bert is owning Beamer.
We might want to support Our Own People.

He beat South Carolina though.

Right? Or some left over Pop Tarts perhaps.

If Illinois had been in the Pop Tart game, Bielema would have tackled the Pop Tart and started biting it!

I might have done the same thing. Those damn things are delicious.

He was fired from Arkansas, yes.

Bielema epitomizes the saying “I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to win.”

Thank you for finding this - and setting the record straight. Pretty crafty by Bielema.

So, 90% of posters have it all wrong. It had nothing to do with subbing in players, but Beamer having his returner do a "t-bar" as a trick play before a called lateral. Beamer notified the refs in advance so they wouldn't blow a whistle. From espn:

Bielema said the T-bar is part of an "unwritten philosophy in coaching," meant to signal a fair catch/touchback on a kickoff to the opposing coverage team. Moments before the on-field altercation, South Carolina made the T-bar signal and proceeded to lateral the ball, leading to a 25-yard return by Nyck Harbor. Bielema said he first learned about the T-bar signal while coaching in the NFL, as a way of limiting the risk of injury on kickoffs. "There's nothing illegal, they didn't do anything illegal, but it put us in a position that the ethic of what that is got evaporated, because our kids stopped [running]," Bielema said.

So beamer was the scumbag.

Shocking that ESPNSEC would get this wrong.

lol
