@KingNick66: H E L L W E E K ✅


That dude is lucky to be on the team....much less getting free shoes. Curious where he fits in the OL rotation. He's also a candidate to transfer.

Glad to see some positive tweets from veterans. I hope we see some more 3, 4, 5 weeks from now when this routine starts getting old. Hopefully they'll have the same motivation.

Gators wrap up "Hell Week" by getting new Jordans
Florida players had a nice surprise waiting for them after a grueling Saturday morning workout in the Swamp.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The Florida football team began its offseason strength and conditioning program this week under the leadership of new director of football strength and conditioning Nick Savage.

And throughout the week, various players have tweeted out their thoughts on the program.

In a word: brutal.

On Saturday morning, Florida closed off the Swamp until noon as players completed their final workout of the week.

"Over 90,000 seats in that stadium," defensive tackle Elijah Conliffe tweeted.

The Gators got familiar with them on Saturday, as defensive coordinator Todd Grantham tweeted a picture of a few groups grinding their way up the Swamp steps.



"And we ran every one of them," offensive lineman Nick Buchanan tweeted.

With the state of the strength and conditioning program a pretty abject disaster under the previous coaching staff, it's little surprise that Florida players are feeling it this week. New coach Dan Mullen has made no secrets about how tough his offseason program will be.

"Every step calf was on fire," Chris Bleich tweeted Saturday morning.

But there was some light at the end of the tunnel, too. Waiting for players in the locker room following the morning grind, described by many players as "Hell Week," was a fresh pair of Jordans.



Offensive lineman Jean Delance tweeted out a live video on Periscope of the team in the locker room, and the mood was downright jovial. Even Mullen is seen cutting it up with the team, sporting a fresh blue Gators sweatshirt and cracking up with some of his players.

Early on, at least, it seems Florida players are pretty enthusiastic about the new workouts and direction of the program.

Even if it's been a tough week.

There will be more tough ones ahead, to be sure. And that might be just what the doctor ordered for the Gators. You know, along with more fresh new gear.

And the team ended the run with a snack consisting of an overstuffed pb&j sandwich (old habits are hard to break). Just kidding about the pb&j, but do hope someone can give us a picture of coach Savage wearing a Gator shirt.

Big problem with this......11.45AM-12.45PM........I'd say they need to keep the MFer open 24 hours a day......

THose are staff hours, unrelated to accessibility to the weight room. I’m sure there’s some dumb NCAA rule in place where the S&C staff can only be in the weight room for one hour per day.

Or maybe hours for staff use with whom the players can't have contact??

Special thanks for that player list, BMF . Stuff like that is so often left out. By your thoroughness, you'd make a good investigative reporter. For your first article, may I suggest "Francoisgate"?

Are you talking about the French kid at FSU?
