Hearing that Practice isn't going well

[checkraiser88]

The Coaches are all distracted by the Long firing, wouldn't be surprised if we got blanked this weekend!

[farmhawg]

Those are good odds either way......

[Bubba's Bruisers]

LOL.  As if it mattered.

[HogPharmer]

In what way would hearing how good practices are going give you any indication as to how well we are going to play? Every week we are told practice has been really good, only to come out and lay an egg every Saturday. It's laughable at this point to believe anything anyone says on "how well" practices are going.

[TNhawgfan]

So the coaches couldn't see the writing on the wall before today? Not the sharpest tools in the shed if true

[bville_hog]

I would say it would be a positive since so far this year we have practices great according to B.B. but have played like crap!

[RedRock]

The fear of getting blanked has been an issue every week this year.

[jgphillips3]

It's like Seinfeld, if they just do the complete opposite of what their natural instinct tells them they should do, it will probably work.

[cosmodrum]

Dagnabit, you saying we might not win?

[Buff]

I thought we'd been having great weeks of practice all year.

[EastexHawg]

It's sort of like when Michael and Fredo's mother died.  The only person keeping Bielema around now sleeps with the fishes.

I wouldn't recommend a fishing trip anytime soon.

Been getting blown out almost every game anyway.so why does it matter? other than Ole Miss and A&M,been getting beat by 3 TD or more by the other sec teams.

[idochog]

Long probably told those tools their job was safe

[hawganatic]

Well they all probably know they are going to be let go in a couple of weeks now.  Would you be able to focus under those circumstances?

[ipigsooie]

I thought we'd been having great weeks of practice all year.

Exactly!  We will probably win by 50.

[Dark Helmet Hog]

Practice hasn't gone well all year.......

[checkraiser88]

Look guys this is coming from a current player

[WilsonHog]

At 4-6, I figure they held out hope that if they could somehow win the last two and make a bowl, jobs would be safe for the most part. Today let the air out of that balloon.

[RebHog]

HAHAHAHA +1 Salute!

These coaches aren't dumb.  They knew their employment at the U ofA was ending the end of this month, writing was all over the wall! 

Their best bet is to sell to this team lets go out in these last two games with a bang. 

[hawgon]

I imagine that everyone, players and coaches included, would just as soon forfeit these last two games and get on with the rest of their lives.  Everyone knows that this staff is gone and that there is nothing left to play for. 

It has to be really tough.

[checkraiser88]

I honestly think BB thought he could sell Long on another year until this

[DOGALUM]

I imagine that everyone, players and coaches included, would just as soon forfeit these last two games and get on with the rest of their lives.  Everyone knows that this staff is gone and that there is nothing left to play for.

hiw about competing for pride?  Play for each other?

Plenty to play for.

Right.

[hawgon]

They ain't played for pride or each other all year.  Why would they start now?

Wrong.

[Hollywood870]

Pa-Pa, does this mean we won't be winning the match?

[Wild Bill Hog]

They ain't played for pride or each other all year.  Why would they start now?

Precisely.

you've got loser written all over you. Do you even understand what it means to compete. These players are athletes and they play for self-pride first and foremost.
Just go away...  never yield and woo pigs

Sad to hear. We've won practice all year.

[Razorback7]

The practices haven't gone well all season.... But we are really close.

[HogMantheIntruder]

Well I guess TJ Hammonds won't be getting any touches this week.

[DemiHOG]

But we're SO close!!!!!

[Con el Cerdos]

I honestly think BB thought he could sell Long on another year until this

Not sure he would have had to sell Long on another year.  Long has made it clear that Bielema was his man.

[Sed76]

All year we have been hearing about them having a great week of practice only to shat the bed on Saturday so it really doesn't matter at this point.

[Marshfieldhog]

Well I guess TJ Hammonds won't be getting any touches this week.

I suspect CBB will take it out on Hammonds for the Long firing.

You sure about that? Every time I see BB he sure resembles the guy they have a picture of in the Webster dictionary right beside the definition of the word dumb.

[hawgon]

Like I said, why would they start doing that now?  These coaches and these kids will lay down just like they have every other time it mattered.

But fact is the players are human too.  What affects their coach(es) has a lot to do with their state of mind.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the team came out as flat as this mornings pancakes.

We've had it happen every season.

Where are you hearing that from?

It doesn't have any noticable effect on the game.  If anything, it would improve the Razorbacks chances of winning since compared to two days ago, the point spread and money line has dropped slightly.

[swineology]

Players have mailed it in like they did last year Capt. Obvious

[seasonhog]

Practice hasn't gone well all year.......

Maybe ,,,,the last 5 years

[HognotinMemphis]

Given that, according to Bielema, Arkansas is #1 in the nation when in practice, maybe bad practice will = better in game performance.

[jgphillips3]

Nm

[Razor8]

Since good pratices meant bad games maybe bad practices will mean we play a good game?

[RedRock]

We talking about practice?

[OtterHog]

We talking about practice?

not a game...

[Andrew Hogfan]

Well I guess TJ Hammonds won't be getting any touches this week.

Our only chance to out score them is to feed TJ the ball all day
