For Your Planning, When Razorbacks Practicing in Spring
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Maybe now Arkansas fans can get back to having a full-blown spring football game. Just don't expect it to be much more than a glorified scrimmage like we've seen with the band along with some other pomp and circumstance. How much we'll know at the end is anybody's guess. Sam Pittman is probably not going to know the answers then, either.
From published reports and sources, things will get started Thursday, March 7. Practices will be on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. There will be five practices before cutting them loose for Spring break, which is March 18-22.
The Razorbacks still may not find out a whole lot. With all the new faces on the team, half of it will be players getting used to each other and the new coaches, including for coach Bobby Petrino, who is in charge of figuring out the train wreck the offense has slowly fallen to becoming over the last few years.
With a 34-day window for practices, they are allowed just 15 practices and three of them have to be non-contact. For a program where the winningest coaches called them "just your average death march," it's easier now. Lou Holtz probably isn't missing it when he thinks about all the new rules.
In the last couple of years, practices have started around 3:40 in the afternoon with Zoom press conferences after them. How many the media can attend for photos and videos we won't know, but don't plan on many reports about the complete practice.
