Bielema says to Sprinkle...

[BigSexyHog]

Wow.  Serious butt hurt in this thread... LMAO at some of ya'll going overboard over a pick up game.  No one knows the context of CBB tweet so take a chill pill bro!  Guess we need to put our guys in a bubble till practice starts so our babies don't get hurt.  Better not lift weights either cause you can get hurt that way.  Can't have players getting hurt right guys?

I mean, we did lose one to a broken arm that happened during a pick up basketball game.  So there's that.  Bottom line is that if coach tells him his time is better spent doing something else, he should listen.  Not butt hurt, just reality.

How does Coach B feel about bowling? Do real football players bowl or is it too much risk to the shoulder?

[presidenthog]

Nope, he told all of his players to read "Fearless" about Adam Brown by Eric Blehm.


@BretBielema: Handed out to our players tonight summer break reading assignment. Thank you to Adam Brown parents for sharing! #WPS http://t.co/QOM9ptSU3Q

nice thanks for clearing that up. I don't use twitter.

You don't have to "use" it to read it. It's very informative in sports and business.

The real question is - did Sprinkle go hoop - or stay home??

Probably won't ever know.....

[hawginbigd1]

If coach B thinks it is a bad decision then so be it, i am just not sure putting the player on blast is the right approach, a PM or text would have been better IMO.

[linkshog]

He actually did go hoop.  He and his brother played in a cystic fibrosis charity game in his hometown.  it was for a good cause and i have it on a good authority he brought it to CBB's attention and coach game him his blessing.  He just told him to limit it to that and not playing pick up games every dday.

Sprinkle needs to relax after workouts and go fishing.

Sprinkle needs to relax after workouts and go fishing.

That involves water and risk of drowning - def not a good option.

In addition he needs his hands to be hook free

Uh bro.... You need to watch his presser as CBB did put context to it. Now chill with the rest of us and let CBB coach these young men the way he sees fit. Ok bro?

No the risks associated with bowling are the ugly chicks, stale beer, and second hand smoke!

Then if he is fishing from a boat it can be even riskier. Can't these guys see the risk? 

[LZH]

Wonder how it would have gone if Sprinkle had tweeted back "look in the mirror"?

as long as it's an upper tier bowl, he's probably fine with it...

[ChitownHawg]

Sprinkle probably would still be out there running bleachers! 

[twistitup]

Mike A would have had a new walk on

Ha!  No surprise that you two characters got the joke.......guess it irritated everyone else.  I just thought it was kind of ironic that BB is now the twitter police.

[Choctaw Hog]

Bielema would have probably pointed out that he is no longer playing and trying to help his team win and make it to the NFL.   

[Choctaw Hog]

Your players? How many of your players have reached the NFL?

Poster is probably referencing "his players" on his video game teams. That's as close to coaching and playing in college as he will ever get. 

[Choctaw Hog]

Will he stick?

Maybe he will, maybe he won't.  The point is Derby got drafted by the defending NFL Super Bowl Champions. What part of that is hard to understand?   

[ChitownHawg]

Humor is lacking sometimes on HV. Hard to get a good sarcastic drenched conversation going anymore. People are either to PC or to sensitive.

Fortunately we are neither! 

[Hog Fan from Camden]

I think everyone is missing the point of CBB's message that he is trying to send.  Sprinkle is light and needs to put on weight and seems to have problems putting/keeping on weight.  Playing basketball (an extra unauthorized aerobic activity) does not fit in Coach Herb's plan for him to put on weight and keep it on during the summer.  If he had problems keeping his weight down (like me), hooping might not be a problem.

[twistitup]

There are a wonderful bunch up there in NE....I wish him the best I bet Belecheat has huge plans for him. Can't wait to see him play on Sunday

Ain't that the truth?  Damn good thing I grace Hogville with a pissy attitude and smart-azz mouth as often as I can.

BB is now the everything police for his team....as he should be.

Amen and good for him.  We obviously need it.

We all had Petrino pegged as such a no-nonsense disciplinarian, but looking back it seems pretty clear that there were a few players that skated around some of his 'policies'.

The irony is that older folks get criticized for not being "electronics savvy," then when someone over 25 shows a willingness to learn different systems, they get accused of meddling.  We've taught our children well.

The rules didn't apply to Lord Bobby.........they were for everyone else, not royalty.

[RT1941]

So I guess he thinks Sprinkle needs to put on weight to be successful at next level... I feel like that's good and all but I'd rather have my players playing pick up basketball in their spare time that  playing video games or smoking dope

What?  The players have a detailed workout schedule they should be maintaining during the summer.  BB is 100% correct, don't take the chance of injury playing pickup basketball.  Stick to your workout regime, eat what the nutritionists and trainers have advised and put your nose in a dang book.

Hey, when it comes to post-2005 technology, it seems that my young'n has been teaching me lol.

Well go over to the Tyler Wilson thread as a few cowboy fans are trying to prove Jerry knows football. They tend to have a hard time with sarcastic comments - like how many playoff games have they won in the last 8 years. I should be able to get a mile or two out of that comment
