Arkansas head football coach Bret Bielema broke a little bit of news Monday in an ESPN appearance that said a lot about his Razorback football team and the coach himself.
Bielema said the Razorbacks would not have two-a-day practices during preseason workouts, which begin Aug. 6. No doubt there were more than few shouts of “Woo Pig” from the Hogs themselves when word filtered out to the players, whom Bielema said were unaware of the plan.
Now this isn’t big news. Years ago the NCAA mandated that two-a-day workouts had to be reduced to every other day, which is a far cry from the purgatory-type existence college players once labored under in preparation for the season.
