Post anything related to Fall Camp in here. I'll try to keep it updated regularly.
Today is just check-in with the 105 guys on the roster. They can't actually talk football today.
All 105 invited are expected to be there. Sam Irwin-Hill reported today and Melvinson Hartsfield is arriving on Wednesday allegedly.

Since coming in early December to where we are today has been a crazy schedule in so many different ways. My wife and I have loved it all.

I've been informed that the forward pass is now legal, we work on it in the spring if we have time.

Looking at Coach Shannon's wiki page, I can say I'm actually really proud that we have him on staff.
I didn't know a whole lot about his background off the field. I noticed in the media guide that it doesn't list a wife or kids in his bio, so I had to do a small amount of digging to see if he's divorced and living the life of a rambler like Holgorsen or if he's closeted or what.
Many of the S. Florida recruits have mentioned him as being a father figure type that always asks about their families. Coach Shannon went through a lot of trajedy as a kid, it's amazing he got out of the ghetto and financially seems set.
damn.
I like the Arkansas connection with Jimmy Johnson, I'm curious if JJ still holds his grudge against Frank.
With Miami's penalties supposedly set to be announced this upcoming week, I really hope the following is written about. It's pretty significant to me and another great reason I'm glad to have him on board with tBeacon.
Your integrity is something to never put a price on.

When Shannon was three years old, his father was murdered. His older twin brothers, who became addicted to crack cocaine when Shannon was 10, both died of aids, as did his older sister
damn.

Shannon played briefly as a linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys, having been drafted by Jimmy Johnson "in order to teach his bigger, faster linebackers how to play the position.

quote:
In his four-year tenure at Miami, only a single player was arrested. Perhaps most significantly, he was apparently untainted by the scandal that engulfed the program in the 2011 season, as he avoided contact with Nevin Shapiro, the rogue booster who admitted to providing massive amounts of improper benefits to Miami players from 2002 to 2010. Sports Illustrated writer Alexander Wolff, in an August 2011 open letter to university president Donna Shalala, noted that Shannon "seems to have been the only person in Coral Gables who wanted nothing to do with Shapiro, reportedly warning his players to avoid him and threatening to fire assistants caught dealing with him."
Your integrity is something to never put a price on.

See that Reeve Koehler is listed at 6-4 340. A year with Herbert is gonna make this guy scary with his athleticism at his size.

I forgot what it is like for the Razorbacks to be able to get one yard when they need a yard. I'm going to love seeing those roadgraders up front.

What time do the pictures begin appearing?

Isn't the first week closed?
Posted on 8/5/13 at 10:09 am to UltimateHog
1st week closed and then supposedly will find out after that.
If I was guessing I would say they will all be closed other than maybe a scrimmage or 2.
I hope I am wrong though. It is always good to see who Ugly Uncle projects to be an All American and then we never see them on the field when the season starts.

Practice ends around 5 today and the media will get to ask Bielema questions after. No players or other coaches will be available

I expect a lot of "It's good to be back. It was great seeing the gains the guys made over summer physically and good seeing the freshmen in action. We're a long way from where we need to be and it'll be fun working to get there over the next couple of weeks"
