Well they fixed that. Ultimately “respect” is earned on the field.

Well, to be fair, the Illinois equipment truck says "Hail to the Orange". Syracuse is "the orange". Even has an orange as a mascot.


I took this pic of their equipment truck when we played them this season and asked the same question

The taunts were meant to insult Illinois. Difference is Illinois would kick the living Spit out of Sorrycuse.

Illinois is superior both athetically and academically to Cuse. I'd be completely insulted myself if I was Illinois being compared to that school in the Arctic Circle.

What has South Carolina won in the last decade or more that gives them the right to think they can insult another team
(either Cuse or Illini)

South Carolina lost so the disrespect they show the Illini before the game was answered with Illinois beating the Gamecocks
Might be the real reason Bielema went out of his way to taunt South Carolina , avenging the disrespect Gamecock players shown his Illini team
