South Carolina coach Shane Beamer and Illinois coach Bret Bielema continued their exchange Wednesday on social media after several testy moments during Tuesday's Cheez-It Citrus Bowl.

Tuesday's Cheez-It Citrus Bowl between Illinois and South Carolina turned fiery in the third quarter when Gamecocks head coach Shane Beamer took exception to Bielema making a taunting gesture in the direction of South Carolina's sideline after SC defensive back Jaheim Clarke went down on the field with an injury.

South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer shared his thoughts on Illinois and the Cheez-It Bowl on Wednesday morning on social media:

Emotions ran high in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl between South Carolina and Illinois on Tuesday. Gamecocks coach Shane Beamer was livid after Fighting

Illinois' 21-17 win over South Carolina in the Citrus Bowl -- a historic marker for the Fighting Illini, who for the first time since 2001 eclipsed 10 wins in season -- was overshadowed by a bizarre feud between two of college football's most colorful head coaches.

"Beamer could hardly believe it at first. He taunted Shane Beamer, and Beamer had enough and snapped," ESPN sideline reporter Quint Kessenich said.

Shane Beamer erupted on Tuesday after Bret Bielema appeared to taunt South Carolina's coach during the Citrus Bowl:

All hell broke loose in the third quarter of the Cheez-It Bowl on Tuesday. It wasn’t the players. It was South Carolina coach Shane Beamer going after Illinois’ Bret Bielema. An Illinois DB was injured on a long pass play by South Carolina. Bielema came across the field to check on his player.

South Carolina coach Shane Beamer had seen enough from his taunting Illinois counterpart and lost it. The wild scene occurred after Illinois cornerback Jaheim Clarke was injured tackling South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., on Tuesday.

Shane Beamer and Bret Bielema are no longer friends. After the head coaches for South Carolina and Illinois spoke glowingly of each other throughout the week leading up to Tuesday’s Citrus Bowl, all hell broke loose late in the third quarter when Bielema chose to taunt Beamer while tending to an injured player.
