The Citrus Bowl, a 21-17 victory for the Illinois Fighting Illini over the South Carolina Gamecocks, turned testy in the third quarter when Fighting Illini coach Bret Bielema, who was checking on injured defensive back Jaheim Clarke, appeared to taunt the South Carolina sideline and Gamecocks coach Shane Beamer while walking back to his own sideline.
Beamer did not appreciate the gesture and ran out onto the field, shouting in Bielema's direction as multiple assistants held him back. The heated interaction spread like wildfire on social media, and also quickly became a meme.
