Sounds like Stump is running his own type of "Hell week" at Southern.

They need it, discipline was the one thing that team was sorely laking.

When players reported for the first session of Stump Mitchell’s first spring practice at Southern University, the lights shone above A.W. Mumford Stadium, and the temperature stood still at 33 degrees.


It was Friday morning, while much of Baton Rouge was still hugging its pillow.


Practice began at 5:30 a.m. — and in the month since Mitchell took over at SU, players have learned how to read pro football time. In other words, they needed to be ready at 5:20.

Ya'll got a good one there. Hang on to him.

On Friday morning, as the first session of Southern’s spring football practice began, a walk-on got his gear and reported for duty, and he cautiously approached the field at Mumford Stadium, searching for his new position coach.

Defensive coordinator O’Neill Gilbert told the player to sprint until he found the right spot. Why? Because at SU, under new coach Stump Mitchell, players won’t walk anywhere.

On Friday morning, as the first session ... anywhere.

So far so good, when you have fans at a 5:30 A.M. practice that's a hell of a sign. I'm eagerly awaiting the start of the season.
