Apparently there was more to the Bielema/Beamer beef lol. I guess earlier in the game SC did an alleged dirty play.

I'm on Team Bielema for this one. Beamer looks like a crybaby.

Bielema was still a Richard for his extremely over the top defensive subbing

BYU did that in a few games as well. It's less bothersome when our team does it lol

It was an entirely new level and Bielema completely abused that reffing crew

"Gesture-gate"? Everything's a gate. I've never heard of the arms out thing by a returner

It happens all the time. I bet you'll see it in the Sugar bowl

You'll see it all the time now if you look. That's the gesture most return guys use when they are standing at the goal

Right, during the kick. But isn't the reference that it was done pre-kick or am I misunderstanding?

That can't be done pre-kick because nobody can predict before the ball is kicked whether or not it will be returned.

That's a signal to your own team, not the kicking team.

Maybe that's the primary purpose, but the people running downfield can see it, too, and that is what Bielema is talking

He needs to coach his guys better cause it's not a signal to his guys.

It has come to mean that as sort of a gentleman's agreement through practice though

So are you then in favor of D-lines absolutely blowing up the OL when the QB is kneeling on the ball to run out the

He thinks that would be on the OL/offensive coaches for not coaching their players to play to the whistle

Uh, yes, especially when they are still trying to win as was the case late in

I don't know. It's kind of like a QB rushing to the LOS, signaling he's going to

A boxer throwing a sucker punch at the opening round glove touch is legal. But

The glove touch that's before the bell and the round actually starts? What?

It's common after the bell the fighters go to the center and touch gloves in the

Just YouTube "fake glove touch" and you find numerous legal examples.

It's a signal to everyone and most of the return team blockers aren't looking back to the returner

My favorite quote: "Bielema said he wasn't taunting Beamer-he was taunting the whole team."
