August 28, 201511 yr I'm all for anything bad that happens at Illinois... :thumb: @YahooDrSaturday Illinois has fired Tim Beckman citing preliminary results of an external review into allegations involving the program. What's your beef with Illinois?
August 28, 201511 yr Don't know much about this guy but if he was encouraging injured players to keep playing against medical recommendation, he deserved to go.
August 28, 201511 yr Author What's your beef with Illinois? I paid roughly $50 in toll fees in Illinois, slept in a car at a Speedway when it was 11 degrees because there were no hotels available in Champagne, woke up at 6 am and went to the football stadium to check it out before leaving town and a young security guy refused to let me walk 50 feet to the tunnel and take a picture. And to top it off, he trashed me and was a jerk about it. Since then, I have no use for Illinois and will openly cheer every time something bad happens to their athletics programs. I do like Chicago, however.
August 28, 201511 yr There goes an embarrassment to the coaching profession. You're not kidding. I never liked the hire in the first place for the Illini.
August 28, 201511 yr On the positive side, Beckman won't have to watch a season of Illinois football.

Of course, that's just a brief summary of what happened. It was much worse if I told all the details. I considered writing about it on my site and posting it on Twitter but I hated to get someone fired or something, even though his actions were WAY over the line. I was heated when I left.
