HERE IS STORY WITH VIDEO FROM COACH

[Sho Nuff]

Seriously?!?!?!?  Hate it for Frank, he is a very classy guy.  He is going to have a great career in the NFL.

[Cylinder]

Maybe single sourced, but Acri is reporting this as well.

[Mo_Better_Hogs]

As they say, the hits keep coming.

[hoglady]

Absolutely hate to hear this.
Hopefully - he can get healed up and it won't affect him in the draft.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Wow.  Just wow.  Our O-Line this week may be the worst one that's taken the field for the Hogs in years.

[LRHawg]

Dang, hope he is able to fully-recover in time to prepare for the Draft.

[HogFansReunited]

Feel so bad for him but I can't help but to just laugh.

[Wildhog]

[onebadrubi]

I see some reports saying he may or may not need surgery.  If he does t actually need surgery, you have to wonder if this was a move in regards to his future

Also Austin allen being off the depth chart completely?   Hmmm my kind is wondering on this.   I think these two guys said they've had enough. Remember, theybare best friends as well

[thebignasty]

Feel awful for him.

This team didn't deserve him.

Life and health decisions?  Lol

Why not?  The team quit on Butters during last year's Auburn debacle.

[Cylinder]

This probably explains why Arkansas @ Mississippi was left off the board this morning.

[Wildhog]

SOMEHOW, things got even WORSE.

[Karma]

Holy cow. What, 4 of the 5 best players on the team out for the year?

[Athog]

Feel so bad for him but I can't help but to just laugh.

Huh?? Whatever..

problems like this are magnified when you have no depth, which has been a problem at AR for years. Whoever the coach, they have always been just one or two injuries away from the entire team changing.

[Wildhog]

It seems we've reached the "pets heads falling off" stage.

[hogcard1964]

Let's go to Aspen!  Where the beer flows like wine!

[thebignasty]

RWIII, Pulley, AA, Ragnow, Cornelious and Hayden

[sickboy]

It seems we've reached the "pets heads falling off" stage.

Let's add this up now...

We lost our best running back (RWIII), our best WR (Cornelius), our best DB (Pulley) our QB1 (Allen) our most promising freshman (Hayden) and our best OL (Ragnow).

That's brutal luck.

Thanks for coming back, Frank. Best of luck. You'll always be one of my favorite Hogs.

That is pretty rough. But we still need a new coach.

[longpig]

Holy cow. What, 4 of the 5 best players on the team out for the year?

Those 4 of the 5 would have been subjected to the same half witted game plan, same results.

[HogSlop84]

All these injuries are probably going to give coach B another Yr.. ugh!!

[HawgTide]

Business decisions

Don't post that crap. No one on here knows how bad they are hurt. All we need is some of our dumbest fans taking shots at our players

[cosmodrum]

It's like the Hogs are my fantasy football team. Just dropping like flies.

Hate it for Frank. He's had a hell of a time on the hill.

Yeah but we were no good when we had 'em all anyway.

CBB is definitely going to pull the injury card to explain away this season but he shouldn't get away with it, especially seeing as how just last week he told a reporter that he and his staff have not recruited well at Arkansas.

[DeltaBoy]

Read on the pig trail that Hayden is out for 4-6 weeks with a lower leg injury.

This season is TOAST!

Coaches don't get passes because their players get hurt. Bielema should be gone either way.

Still, it's pretty crazy that we lost our top five or so players overall. That's pretty rare.

The season was toast. Now it's burnt toast, so bad that no amount of PB&J will cover it up.

[jgphillips3]

I will hope against hope that Ragnow just decided to let Rogers take his spot and go get ready for the draft.  If he is really hurt and his draft stock affected, that would be terrible.  There is really no reason for him to be playing anymore anyway.  No titles, no bowls, no nothing.  If he is dinged up, I'll just pray it heals quickly.

Yep, RWIII wouldn't have ran for much with this O line.  Cornelius would be double teamed and probably not enough time to get open with this O line.  Pulley wouldn't get many his way with this run defense.  Allen wasn't ever going to get time to throw with this O line, and when he did wouldn't be synced with receivers. Hayden wasn't going to run for much with this O line.  Losing Ragnow reduces our O line from 20% solid to 0%.  And it's not like these were all first day draft picks being replaced by true freshmen, except maybe for Ragnow.

We may see more players opt out. 

...and nobody could blame them.

[HoggyCat]

Year 6......

[Porkette]

Hate it for Frank, but wish him well in his future.

This feels like the worst football season ever.

[DeltaBoy]

This reinforces my belief we got Cursed before the Great Shootout with Texas by Darrel Royal. We have such bad things happen that it can not be explained by random chance or statics !

No offense taken.   

[Wildhog]

How'd you miss that?

[rhog1]

I wouldn't have thought that was possible, but here we are. Wonder whats next?

[hoglady]

I think Zach Rogers will be adequate at center.
Not near as good as Ragnow and the Oline will certainly miss Ragnow's experience and leadership.
But it's not like the unit itself has seen any improvement this year - they've been abysmal.

The injuries to AA, Hayden and now Ragnow happened after our season was already toast.

[snoblind]

Thanks for coming back, Frank. Best of luck. You’ll always be one of my favorite Hogs.

Sums it up nicely.  Came back to a cluster because he loves the Hogs.  Can't ask for more.

[HoggieStyle]

Damn.
