I saw the video of him putting on the Illini hat then throwing it aside. I appreciate he recognized that what he did was absolutely wrong but if he was classy he would not have done what he did in the first place. Hopefully he learns from this incident and grows up a little bit. No one is perfect and I get that.
I understand this is a different time and it really doesn't appear that this kid is a bad kid, however dismissing what he did and saying it is just the 'norm' still doesn't make it right. I do think he got caught up in the moment and I guess we will see what his true character is down the road.Meh. He's a kid who is growing up in a completely different era than most of us here. What once was considered "disrespectful" is now "just the norm".
Not a big deal.
Welcome to the Family.
I have no problem with him throwing an Illinois hat to the side. Bielema is a giant douche canoe and has earned any disrespect that is even remotely thrown his way.I understand this is a different time and it really doesn't appear that this kid is a bad kid, however dismissing what he did and saying it is just the 'norm' still doesn't make it right.

And yes, welcome to the family kid.
I've always thought that Bielema looks more like my grade school's janitor than a head football coach. Apologies to all grade school janitors out there.I have no problem with him throwing an Illinois hat to the side.
