Shane Beamer Has A Two-Word Description Of Bret Bielema's Behavior

Shane Beamer and Bret Bielema stole the spotlight from their players with a bizarre interaction during the Citrus Bowl.

Staffers restrained Beamer from charging toward Bielema after the Illinois head coach gestured toward the South Carolina sideline. Bielema referenced the "T-bar" signal that, while often used to signal a fair catch or touchback, the Gamecocks used before lateraling the ball and returning a kickoff 25 yards.

During his post-game press conference, Beamer explained that he cleared the motion with Big 12 officials before the game. Officials told him they could put out their arms as long as they didn't wave them.

Beamer called Bielema's on-field reaction to those tactics "bush league."

"You have to ask him why he didn't take it up with the officials and why he felt the need to come over here while his player was on the ground and look at me and say something to me and do that motion at me, like I was full of you know what to do it," Beamer said. "That's what I have an issue with. I'm a competitive guy. When somebody says that to me, I'm going to respond because I thought that was bush league, just to be completely honest."
