Missing workouts

[Slimac4]

There's some drama unfolding on Twitter between our offensive linemen and some people missing workouts. Hope they get this fixed and grow closer through this.

who are the disgruntaled

Dan Skipper is PISSED!! LOL

@DanSkipper76: I have never been a part of anything more unbelievable than what I have experienced today.

Someone then tweeted Dan asking what happened, he responded:

@DanSkipper76: Some of us didnt show up for a 6am workout this morning, then we proceeded to do the same thing for an 8pm workout. (this tweet has been deleted, I am paraphrasing).

Reeve Koehler also had a tweet that has since been deleted, ill post it as I remember it:

@RKoehler54 How hard is it to set an alarm and wake up to that alarm in the morning? Ive been doing it for years

Mitch Smothers posted:

@MitchSmoths65 3rd time is a charm so maybe everyone will show up tomorrow...but then again maybe not.

I find it funny but I bet coach Herbert doesnt 

[PorkRinds]

Coach B will knock some heads.

They were all referring to a freshman linemen that's been here since Spring semester... He should know better...

[chitwnhog]

Yeah....somebody is gonna be in the Bielema doghouse.

[SooiecidetillNuttgone]

A few details at least, please?

[NLRHog92]

Josh Allen perhaps?

[cpohog]

Hmmmmmm That narrows it down!

Josh Allen, Jalen Merrick or Zac Rogers are the only freshmen O Linemen that have been there since spring that I know of......but then again what do I know?

[CFB_Fanatic]

Mitch Smothers: @DanSkipper76 @TevinBv80 @GOLDENGRIZZ59 Go to bed. We have workouts in the morning

[Slimac4]

Josh Allen perhaps?

Yea they were all raggin on him pretty hard.

[onebadrubi]

I believe Kirkland took up for him though saying something along the lines of we all make mistakes and have to learn from them. 

[Hog N Bama]

I remember when I was in college.  Simple solution was get out of bed immediately when alarm goes off... or ....well you know what happens if you don't.

I don't remember sleeping much in college.

[Theolesnort]

This is good leadership and a example of a great kind of peer pressure. The new frosh learn about accountability and what it takes to be a great leader in return, if the pressure takes. It can be like a chain reaction.

[Seebs]

As a former Rush chairman ( enter Animal House quote here)  you can either invite someone to the party or go get them. One means more than the other.

They need to drag their butts out of bed  - maybe  Full Metal Jacket style.

[Dominicanhog]

I was going to say... it would have been easier to not go to bed.. 6am, not sure my alarm even had those numbers on it.

[Hoggish1]

Yeah....somebody is gonna be in the Bielema doghouse.

Whoever that is will not want to be there again!

[RazorWhacker]

This! +1

Dang I try to teach this to my employees. Some just won't get it. A few do. Hold your team member accountable and your job gets much easier and more enjoyable. If your co-worker isn't showing up to work on time and you look the other way, he will keep doing it. If everybody busts his chops about it, he will either stop or leave. Either way, the team is better off.

I wish I saw more young people with that leadership quality.  It would make me feel better about our future.

Note the scheduled time of the work outs. 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. The staff is doing their best to try to help the kids stay out of trouble over the summer. Love it.

[gmarv]

for all the problems skipper (the leg whip penalty standsout in my mind) has had looks like he s one of the leaders.think he might be a good leader and better for the learning he,s went thru.

There is a such thing as being self motivated..............................In other words they shouldn't have to drag anyone out of bed.

This... Free ride to an SEC West school with a great shot at the NFL should be motivation enough...

This!!  Coach B will not have to do anything when you have Skipper, Kirkland and gang taking care of the issue.  The only issue I see is that it should not be on a public forum such as twitter.  This should be  private matter.  It be addressed the old fashion way with socks and bars of soap.

Having the long view as an 18 year old kid in college.. that happens all the time.

I know some coaches from years ago that would have had them working out at high noon in 100 degrees with 99% humidity outside with the sun blaring down on them!

[Inhogswetrust]

I remember when I was in college.  Simple solution was get out of bed immediately when alarm goes off... or ....well you know what happens if you don't.

I had a friends daughter once ask me what was the most important thing in college and I said "an alarm clock, because your mom isn't going to be there to get your butt out of bed and make you go to class".

Exactly.  We love the leadership but it should be a private matter within the team.  Now people start speculating and it gets out of hand in the rumour mill. 

[WaltonCollege]

I think it's just college kids messing with each other on twitter I'm not overly concerned

[hogsanity]

Yeah....somebody is gonna be in the Bielema doghouse.

I would rather BB be mad at me than Skipper.

[The Kig]

This generation has grown up on social media.  This is their way of handling it.  The fact that the posts have been taken down is probably the coaches direction (after they commend them for taking initiative).   

[SONofHAM]

One of the guys(I think it was Reeve) was laughing at the player in question on twitter for saying...."they are OPTIONAL workouts."  It's clear that missing these is not accepted by our veterans.  Love it!

That's like saying sex is optional on your honeymoon....................Not on mine it wasn't!

In many ways success is optional. You can choose not to have any.

[RzRbAcK18]

In high school my back fence was the only separation between my house and the weight room. If I got lazy and attempted to skip morning workouts I was awoken to cold water and beatings from teammates. Sounds like someone is going to need something along these lines.

[bphi11ips]

That's like saying sex is optional on your honeymoon....................Not on mine it wasn't!

Are you saying your wife didn't want to have sex on your honeymoon, cuz I'll bet Josh Allen isn't too excited about 6:00 am workouts. 

[gmarv]

I would rather BB be mad at me than Skipper.

I don,t know looks like a no win kind of thing.skipper could give most of us a good ole butt kicking,but cbb could kick your mine and our butts down the road to uca.

[MuskogeeHogFan]

I know some coaches from years ago that would have had them working out at high noon in 100 degrees with 99% humidity outside with the sun blaring down on them!

And they would have felt the need from that solitary workout in the heat of the day to go out at night and consume copious amounts of cold brew and chase some gals, knowing that they had until 1 p.m. the next day to recover.

A 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. workout makes it more difficult to do that, comfortably.

A 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. workout makes it more difficult to do that, comfortably.

Also makes it hard to get 8 or 9 hours of sleep to allow broken down muscles to recover and grow.  Sort of contrary to everything I've ever read about training. 

[hog.goblin]

I don't remember sleeping much in college.

As far as the first two years go I don't remember much at all from college.

[SamBuckhart]

This WILL be handled internally by leaders who take these workouts seriously.

[hvsupastar]

I would rather BB be mad at me than Skipper.

Would you rather die by car wreck or plane crash?

[gibby]

I'm quite sure they're not working the same muscle groups in back-to-back workouts, so it's all good.

[HogShat]

I thought our strength and conditioning coach was named Master Strength and Conditioning Coach by the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches association, and that honor is the highest given in the strength and conditioning profession. He probably knows whats up....

[hogcard1964]

I'd hate to pi^& Skip off.

[ChitownHawg]

Thinking the same thing. Coaches probably told to delete tweets and get the freshmen in line and in private.

Are you seriously questioning our Strength and Conditioning program schedule.

FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas strength and condition coach is set to receive a prestigious national recognition.
The university announced Wednesday that Ben Herbert will be named Master Strength and Conditioning Coach by the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches association. The honor is the highest given in the strength and conditioning profession.
Herbert oversees the Razorbacks' sports teams and works closely with the football program. He is in his third season with the Razorbacks after spending the previous 11 years at Wisconsin.
Herbert will be recognized in a ceremony Thursday evening at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center in Nashville, Tenn.

I searched the internet over bphi11ips strength and conditioning and didn't find any sort of recognition at all.  Perhaps I am misunderstanding your intent.

The legacy of last year's seniors living on.

[Inhogswetrust]

Haha! Not at all! We had several 6:00 AM "workouts" on our honeymoon!

[Inhogswetrust]

No they still had the early and late workouts. Things weren't as limited back then..............................
