Spring Practice dates are here!

Advertisement
U guys are so funny! In the threads pertaining to last year Spring practice, you guys were raving how fit and "beastly" the players look. Praising Al and Swasey for finally getting these guys well conditioned for the start of the season. Even the Florida game thread, everyone was in shock how well conditioned the guys were in the fourth quarter. Now, we're saying the conditioning program is a joke and a PR stunt , lol! So are they out their running, lifting, sweating, grinding? Or are they only doing this stuff when the cameras are around? I'm sure when the first pics of Denzel, Aqm, McCord, Burns, Bush, etc.., hit this site in the Spring, you'll be gawking at their physiques, lol! I know news is slow during this time and we need something to criticize. Just simmer down folks, we'll be back in contention. :)

Nobody will be gawking at shlt. We are over the clichés and all the other bullshlt.

Just win games.

First of all, there's a huge myth that UTough is an everyday thing... it's not. They only have it on Mondays and Wednesdays. Secondly, the camera people are trained to get the most "dramatic" moments of workouts. Most people think it's a PR fraud. Cameras are shoved in the players' faces in the middle of what is supposed to be some life-changing conditioning work.

pete your my guy but your wrong on this one. Utough is just miami's version of mat drills. Every major school does it and makes a montage out of it for recruits. In fact the only program i can think of that never did this was the Randy Shannon Hurricanes

I agree with the winning games part.

But it's spring. So if you are over everything, and just want wins, see you back here on Monday, September 1st, or maybe the night before, and cross your fingers.

Good job Pete...

Did you get that from Genron?

There is a way to deliver this message. This is not the way to do it.

Also, there's no message to deliver.

We have a conditioning program called UTough. We publicize the program, and include tough or otherwise motivating parts of the workouts in our video productions. The school pumping up the program is exactly the purpose of the public relations department. It's not "PR fraud" -- it's PR.

Someone ran a couple of suicides before a scrimmage at the Wellness and now thinks our conditioning program is soft.

Yeah, but it's PR connected to a football team that Al Golden coaches. That means we have to hate it.

I long for the Randy Shannon days when we had a whopping 12 Saturdays a year where we had access to our team...

Pete has turned! He used to be positive on this board about Miami. Now he is trying to expose UTOUGH as a PR stint!

What happened Pete? Did Genron or the Wilson's change your attitude toward Miami?
 
He's being recruited by the Arkansas Daily Gazette. If he goes, fire the whole coaching staff.

I am done with the used car salesman BS ... Results on the field or GTFOH. Show up for big games, beat teams that are not as talented and stop having 275 pound lineman covering WRs. :mmkay:
 
Maybe Pete lost some access to the team and is a little salty! He had some negative **** to say about practice last week as well. Something like "not worth my time to go". A bit of advice for Pete. You are young and been covering high school football for only a couple years. Stop sounding so freaking condescending to the coaches in 90% of your posts. Golden and staff are not perfect, and have made mistakes, but sometimes you should give a little deference to those smarter than yourself with YEARS of experience. Be critical when necessary but with a bit more tact.
 
LULZ at all these heroes launching into Pete because he has an opinion different than theirs, and they know he has to stay above the fray and can't go off on them. Seems to me that Pete's opinion on UFLUFF is pretty accurate. Looks like another cog in the PR machine that is yielding very little by way of actual on field results.
