***Official Dana Altman Press Conference Thread***

[TRUHOG718]

JFB is talking us in circles...

[Razors84]

It is about attendance...

[Smithian]

They had more average attendance at Creighton than Arkansas this year.

That says something.

[Rooka]

just had to ask DA how many years he was at Creighton. EMBARESSING.

[bigempty402000]

Broyles is such a used car salesman, its kind of scary. 

[Oliver]

just had to ask DA how many years he was at Creighton. EMBARESSING.

I was impressed he remembered where he coached.

[hawgaramus]

Dr. Nerd is talking...very exciting.  talking about energy.  oooooooo.

Nothing like a grown man calling another grown man a nerd.  I bet the cool kids don't let him sit with them at lunch either.....

[Lokirain]

Is anybody going to call Altman by his name?  Not just 'the new coach'?

Frank still has no idea who he has hired, and no one else does either.

[U.P. HOGG]

Deja Vu`

[Rooka]

Frank Dropped the HAT!! OMG THIS IS EMBARRASING!!!!! AND HOG CALL!!

[TRUHOG718]

He just called him the greatest coach in America... So why did you go after 5 other coaches.

[hoghevn]

So in other words Frank, what you're saying is that it's more important to find away to sell tickets, not win games.  You are freaking unbelievable!!!!

[strawhog]

frank has lost it

[Ironhawg]

Jeez could they have picked an uglier hat?

[Razors84]

woooooooooooooooo...........well he didn't know it either.....

[U.P. HOGG]

Razorback Introductions....Tradition like not other. 

[Hong Kong Sooey]

Is it not possible to teach a new coach how to call the Hogs BEFORE the presser?

[Immensehog]

THIS IS THE BIGGEST TRAINWRECK I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!

FRANK DID NOT EVEN INTRODUCE THE COACH BY NAME!!!!

[Rooka]

At least Dana sounds professional.

[pneaville]

dana is gonna have to get used to that hog call.... 

[Smokehouse]

During the lead in the news accidentally said "we'll find out if he's the new football coach at the University," right as I turned on. I was somewhat excited, only to have my hopes dashed once more. Seems to be the theme these last few weeks.

[Pignominious]

this is excruciating.  that hog call was funny.

[Smithian]

I like this guy, I'm sorry.

[pneaville]

Dr. Nerd is talking...very exciting.  talking about energy.  oooooooo.

Nothing like a grown man calling another grown man a nerd.  I bet the cool kids don't let him sit with them at lunch either.....

i may be grown but i have the sense of humor of a 12 year old!!! 

[U.P. HOGG]

Sounds good so far..

[LZH]

Was that not the most uncomfortable Hog Call ever? (since Stan's first)  Why not let it be...he's new, man.  Leave it alone for now.

[pneaville]

very professional.  he's going to do well.  i'm on the altman train...   :razorback:

[Rooka]

I like this guy, I'm sorry.

I like him too.

[Lokirain]

This is embarrassing.

[Immensehog]

HDN's girls in the front row???

[U.P. HOGG]

In state recruiting.  NO-WAY!! WHAT A NOVEL IDEA!!

[strawhog]

press 40 mins a game

[WestMemphisHogFan]

I am VERY IMPRESSED with Dana Altman.  He is a great man, and I believe a great coach.  He does not deserve some of the ridiculous attacks and cheap shots that some have given him today.  He didn't make Broyles hire him.  Why the anger towards a coach that accepted an invitation to be the HC of the Razorbacks?

[Razors84]

Bring back the press!!! OH YEAH!!!  I'm in.

[bigempty402000]

Dana is fine with me, seems professional enough, but somebody get frank his meds.

[hawgaramus]

I hope Nutt heard that comment about recruiting nationally and understands it can be done.....

[Wash Hogwallop]

Hooray for the pressing defense!

[WestMemphisHogFan]

Bring back the press!!! OH YEAH!!!  I'm in.

I liked that as well.

[Oliver]

I have to admit that Altman sounds like he knows his stuff and is very well spoken.  Then again, so did Heath.

[Lokirain]

I want Altman to prove me wrong, but I just don't believe he can be the guy.

[WxHog]

In state recruiting.  NO-WAY!! WHAT A NOVEL IDEA!!

Take notes HDN

[BartIV]

He admits he is a boring coach. Thats perfect!!!

[hogansas]

It's a shame that the chancellor spends more time defending the AD rather than getting excited about the new coach.

[hawgaramus]

Seems very humble and thankful to be here.  I like that....

[strawhog]

I will say that he sounds like one hell of a guy.

[Ugly Uncle]

Help!!!  My internet feed just stopped.  Anyone else?  someone tell me what is being said.

[bigempty402000]

Looks like frank is sitting on White's lap.

[Prosciutto]

Even if you have your doubts, it is still exciting to a true hog fan!!!!

[CardinalHog]

Wow. Underwhelming. This is just sad to watch, it really is. There is no excitement.

I can't believe this.

[Immensehog]

Help!!!  My internet feed just stopped.  Anyone else?  someone tell me what is being said.

They are discussing the coach's new cellular plan.
