Thanks for the memories Coach Altman!

[Cosby]

I thought it would be great for all of us to put our favorite moments of Dana Altman's time here.

Personally, mine was him talking it up with the guys on DTS last night. Man.. I'm going to miss him.

[animal]

I really liked that time he got of the plane and looked SOOO excited to be here

[ComeonHogs!!!]

  On a positive Note, This may shine a bright National media light on the BAC. Someone may dig and find out why no coaches want to come to the land of OZ.

[moley_russells_wart_hog]

the shock on his face when we called the hogs

[DrSwineESQ]

I personally liked when he said, "with your permission, I'd like to retire here"

He did lie about one thing, he certainly isn't boring. 

[arkyvol]

ah, the memories!  rank right up there with what's his name.

[SLC]

My favorite part was when he didn't even meet with the team to tell them he was leaving them!!!!
Yeah!
Way to go!

[The Hog Blogger]

Awesome.  Me personally?  I liked that one time he did that thing with those guys.  Unforgettable. 

[SLC]

Evidently Darian Townes found out from watching TV!
Nice.
Classy.

[Table Rocker]

i liked that one time at the PC when bo said "i'll stand up so you can see me" and altman laughed

[JIMMY BOARFFETT]

Where do I start?  Let's see....I can't put my finger on any one thing.  Coach Altman's time at Arkansas just flew by for me.  It seems like only yesterday he was announced as our new coach!

[wooo]

I would have loved for him to stay...


...but did anyone notice that he had a look on his face similar to the way you look after eating a big ole bowl of cereal and then realizing the milk is ruined?


He looked like someone had just killed his cat at the press conference.


best of luck coach Altman-you gotta follow your heart-or else you just might throw up!

[sowsmilk]

Taking the hog snout from Mike Nail... I'll never forget it.

[GO]

I remember that time when Dana's wife Reva had to reimburse Frank for those lovely roses.

[Michaelt]

I personally liked when he said, "with your permission, I'd like to retire here"

I didn't realize he had plans to retire so quickly......LOL

[cal34]

Remember that time Coach Altman did the hog call? Yeah, Yeah. Remember that time Coach Altman said they press 40 minutes? Yeah, Yeah. Remember that time Coach Altman quit before the first day on the job? If  no other circumstances led to his demise other than being homesick then Im glad this Jabroni is gone. Fire Frank for hiring him.

[superjw]

sad...so sad

[ballhog™]

I liked it when he was given the hog hat and shirt and instead of holding them up or putting them on he sat them right on the table.

[Hogtropolis™]

Where do I start?  Let's see....I can't put my finger on any one thing.  Coach Altman's time at Arkansas just flew by for me.  It seems like only yesterday he was announced as our new coach!

Classic.  It did only seem like yesterday.  I think my favorite memory of Coach A was when he said he was going to retire here and how he was going to restore us to national prominence.  You will be greatly missed Coach A.  Best of luck at your new, well old, job.

[cubbie]

Ill just miss that big beautiful smile.

[dhornjr1]

I liked that time he was on Drive Time Sports and Rick Schaeffer, Randy Rainwater, Ray Tucker and Ron Crawford kissed his a$$ for a good ten minutes and talked about how GREAT a hire he was.

[PiggoBitttys]

Just one!! Geez, how can you guys limit yourselves to one. You're not doing the great Altman justice!

[secfan30]

I really will miss how he looked like Opie Taylor. Ho Hum, it made me forget about Coach Richardson. HAHAHAHA I actually said that with a strait face. Actaully I would pay to see that fight, Coach Richardson and Altman....... The memories. Oh and I have been looking at their board, they say this guy was classy? Only thing he did classy was talk to the media, the rest was a bunch of lies. I guess I should rememeber whos board I was on, half of them need a few lessons on being classy.

[Table Rocker]

i guess i shouldn't have gotten the portrait of altman wearing a hog hat tattooed on my ass?

[Semper Hogelis]

Oh man. You remember that game when coach Altman got that T. No wait. check that. Uhh . Okay, Okay. The time at SEC tourney when he. No no. There was that game against Duke in the Sweet 16, and Patrick Beverly went for 30 points, and Coach A said.
No. wasn't him. My bad.

[Dick Swineberg]

I'll always remember how I confused him with Drew Michaels, the weather man off 40/29...I always wanted to ask him if they were long-lost brothers.

[razorbrass]

I remember this one time at band camp when Altman.....

[JadedHog]

My favorite memory was his love for water.  He must have gone through a whole case during his press conference. Intense anxiety will sure dry a fella out.  Let's raise our Aquafina bottles to Coach A.  We hardly knew yee.

[oldtimerhog]

That time he looked like he realllllly needed a bathroom throughout the entire press conference!

[JadedHog]

My favorite memory was the way he walked into Bud Walton for his press conference.  He looked like a man being led to the gas chamber.  I think I even saw Frank walking in front of him crying, "DEAD MAN WALKING"!

[Godfather]

I liked the part when he...  Oh, he never did anything..

[wirebender25]

I like when he had to buy his own plane ticket back.

[FogHornLongHorn2222]

Man, time flies by.  It seems like only the other day that you hired him.......

[Jimmy]

The excitement that gushed from both Dana & wife the day he was introduced at Bud Walton.  Seems like only yesterday.  Made me excited to have them.  Boy, I'll never forget the feeling that it was THE day Arkansas basketball had returned to prominence.

[justonefan]

This is the most entertaining reading i've had in ... several days

[Coach_Altman]

I'm glad I could leave all of you with some memories.  I'm sorry I didn't stay longer, but I'm not used to dealing with such a dilusional fan base.  Best of luck to you finding my replacement

[kosherHog]

I liked that really touching moment when P-Bev said he'd found his father-figure.  Divorce always hurts the kids the most.

[redbarn]

How much darned money did we pay Altman so that he could retire after only one day on the job.

[PigTimePlayer]

I liked it when he told Chuck that his goal for our program was to "have the best basketball team that we can" year after year . . . . "barring injuries or illnesses."

Too bad we missed out on that kind of high level success.

[3kgthog]

My favorite moment was when Chuck Barrett got flustered and said, "I'll be darned if I'd let him ride back on my plane!"

[huskerhog]

Stop with the hog call!! its the goofiest thing in college sports

[The Boar War]

I'll always remember Coach Altman for being the only undefeated basketball coach.  Too bad pressing for 40 minutes would have lasted slightly shorter than your coaching career here.

[Bubba_Hog]

Remember that time Coach Altman did the hog call? Yeah, Yeah. Remember that time Coach Altman said they press 40 minutes? Yeah, Yeah. Remember that time Coach Altman quit before the first day on the job? If  no other circumstances led to his demise other than being homesick then Im glad this Jabroni is gone. Fire Frank for hiring him.

Ha Ha, It's been awhile since I heard the word Jabroni but this guy is one.  He needs to get back to omaha, before we check him into smackdown hotel, feed him the rock bottom followed by a big mouth of peoples elbow.  IFFFFFFFF  YOUUUUUUU SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, what The Rock is cooking!

[Dana Altman]

I appreciate the memories and well wishes, we will always share this bond.

[Yahooty]

The only thing I remember is Coach A being the only coach in Razorback history to go undefeated....GREAT JOB COACH....

[Wash Hogwallop]

I will remember illustration of the fast-break.

[PolishPigPower]

I liked that part where the next season started and this was all just a dream... and Bobby was still alive, or Nolan was still coach... or something like that.

Could this have been an HDN masterminded scheme to make him look like a loyal Hog soldier?

Where do I start?  Let's see....I can't put my finger on any one thing.  Coach Altman's time at Arkansas just flew by for me.  It seems like only yesterday he was announced as our new coach! No that is Funny!

[PolishPigPower]

Stop with the hog call!! its the goofiest thing in college sports

Agreed!  TONS goofier than a huge-headed guy in a Cowboy hat with a stalk of corn growing out of his backside.

[bobetty]

I'll never forget the look I imagined his face to be when he opened his e-mail from Teresa Prewett this morning and read, "DID I MENTION THAT I WANTED YOU TO LEAVE"
