Illinois football coach Lovie Smith has sported the most magnificent, luxurious Santa Clause beard for the past couple of years. Now it’s gone.
The Illinois Football Twitter account shared the new-look Lovie on Wednesday. Clean-shaven as can be.
Basically, Smith has gone anti-quarantine on us. While many have grown beards and let their hair go in a big way (looking at you, Ryan Fitzpatrick), Lovie has reversed the trend in a big way.
Based on the Twitter reactions, the college football world is in mourning.
