ALL posts about Altman's PC in Omaha go HERE (Seriously, read more and post less)

[Mark Lericos]

  This would be the 2nd installment of the Dana Altman press conference: this one from Omaha at Noon.

   We'll carry it live, I know some of you might not be interested since he left, but it's possible he alludes to why he left more than he did yesterday.

  Anyway, just FYI.

[DeltaBoy]

Thanks got a web link!

[Mark Lericos]

for those outside of NWA, you can watch it on our sister station in Omaha... they'll stream it live on their website:

[razorbackfan4life]

Thanks Mark!  I'll be sure and watch it.

[Tomhog™]

I wish he would open up a little and say what a mess it is up on the Hill...

[GrantMerrill]

Hey Mark... Are your reporters at the sister station aware of Wally's column this morning, and if so will they question him as to if that was a factor in him leaving?

[CardinalHog]

Mark, excellent work up there.

[lrhogfan24]

Thanks for the link!

[Since 1894]

Still soap opera.

[PigKahuna]

Ok, it's noon....no presser...

is it still happening?

[AFWarrior83]

Do we really want him to say why he left? It might hurt the UofA even more, but I guess it's going to come out sooner or later.

[Since 1894]

Starting now.

[Trottsky]

Ok, it's noon....no presser...

is it still happening?

Maybe he got cold feet...

[PigKahuna]

has to see that this guy is an emotional wreck and wanted to run home.

This has NOTHING to do with academics, drug tests, etc.


He loves Creighton, was greeted here with unhappiness with his hiring and he wanted to go home.

End of story.

[AFWarrior83]

Could someone be kind an sum up what's said? I know someone will. My work has a firewall that prevents me from getting stream videos.

[PigWig]

I hope you're right.

[DrSwineESQ]

Mine too.  THanks in advance

[bigyellowdog]

I hope you are correct. 

[Bring Back Heath]

It feels like Deja Vu

"this is where I will end my coaching career"

[BCRavens]

Agreed. He appears like he's about to break down.

And he just said that Creighton is where he will finish his coaching career, which got him a round of applause.

Good luck to him

Boo-hoo.  I'm 40 something years old and homesick after one day in Arkansas. 

Maybe there is something more to his leaving and maybe he is trying to take the high road by blaming it on family but he's not getting any sympathy from me by using that excuse.

[Method Ham]

It amazes me that everyone wants to tear the program down from WITHIN.  Let this go, let's hire another coach, WIN SOME GAMES NEXT YEAR, and restore some dignity to being Arkansan in the nation's eye.

[THIS IS HOGVILLE!!!!]

mommas boy. I want a man to coach my team

[HAM ELLIOT]

Agreed. He appears like he's about to break down.

And he just said that Creighton is where he will finish his coaching career, which got him a round of applause.

Good luck to him

After this, he wont have a choice but to finish his career at creighton!

As  I said earlier, when he turned on the 10pm news here on Monday night, saw interviews with fans and a internet poll showing DEFINITE unhappiness with is hiring, how would you have felt.

[Ridgerunnerpiggie]

GAWD!  He is BORING!  We're better off in the end, folks!
Go Hogs!

[AFWarrior83]

That pud wouldn't last 1 season in the SEC, what a stupid "STUPID" hire!

[HawgAlude]

Good. I think he made the correct decision should have never been offered nor accepted position. Glad he is gone. Period. Time to move on.

[bigyellowdog]

Screw him.  I hope his wife ends up in The Tavern.

[Lokirain]

This guy is Mr. Excitement.

[hogsanity]

Screw him.  I hope his wife ends up in The Tavern.

Wow, we are a classy classy bunch.  I am not sure I would want to come here either.

[Reaganite]

It's a good thing that's where he wants to end his career, because his likelyhood of ever going anywhere else is now NIL.


He is exuding weakness in this presser man.

[Hammibal Lecter]

what would have happened if the creighton AD would have said "non" you cant come back?

Hes just deadpanning on how hard it was, said it was "even hard to get on the plane" to come to UA

[Tripod1]

Nothing wrong with emotion.  Good for him if Creighton is where he and his family want to be then by all means stay there.  I agree with the person above.  Why do we in Arkansas seem to want to tear ourselves to little bits?  He took the high road so why don't we?  We will get a coach and we will win games.

Boo hoo.  Win the fans over.  You are getting paid just short of 2 million dollars a year.  The man has no sack.

[Bring Back Heath]

Screw him.  I hope his wife ends up in The Tavern.

His wife is gonna be in the tavern regardless lol

[Newcoachplease]

Not saying anything too important. Thanks Creighton let him back. Just said it was a tough decision. Now he is talking about how he will be there til he retires. Talking about possibly winning National Championships at Creighton. Taking questions from the audience now. Not really anything about why he left so far

[BRizzleDizzle]

this press conference sounds very familiular...wants to finish his career there...sounds like a song I heard monday

[bigyellowdog]

Screw him.  I hope his wife ends up in The Tavern.

Wow, we are a classy classy bunch.  I am not sure I would want to come here either.

Maybe I was a little harsh there.  Just blowing off a little steam.  But I am sick of hearing about him and his poor homesick self after only one day away. It is best he went back.  I was actually one of his biggest supporters.  I was living in Kansas when he left there and said he wanted to be closer to home, so this should have not have caught me off-gueard.  I am more frustrated with myself for actually buying into his hire.  It is time for us to move on though.

[Reaganite]

Most wouldn't want a nutt hugger coaching anyway. 

[Fried]

Every single time we slam this man, I have to return to the harsh reality that as bad as he MIGHT BE (I'm not seeing "weakness" like you guys are), he rejected our butts!

[hogsanity]

Screw him.  I hope his wife ends up in The Tavern.

Wow, we are a classy classy bunch.  I am not sure I would want to come here either.

Maybe I was a little harsh there.  Just blowing off a littel steam.  But I am sick of hearing about him and his poor homesick self after only one day away. It is best he went back.  It is also time to move on. 

Fair enough. 

[Hammibal Lecter]

here we go...talking about alleged problems in the athletic dept. Dana says that stuff is "not true"

[Lokirain]

I am watching it right now. This guy is a loser and I am sooo glad he's gone. We don't need this type of second rate coach here anyway.

[Newcoachplease]

Denying reports of "problems" in the Athletic Department. Saying players need to get to class. Maybe houston gave him some of that kool-aid when they went to lunch yesterday!

[PigKahuna]

Wally....you're up...sticking with your story?

[razorbackfan4life]

Screw him.  I hope his wife ends up in The Tavern.

Wow, we are a classy classy bunch.  I am not sure I would want to come here either.

Maybe you should move out of the state.

lol...

[Hammibal Lecter]

says " do they have some players that need to get to class?" and "yes, but we have some players that need to get to class too"

[AFWarrior83]

So what's the top dollar we can afford for a BBall coach? Would we do a Bama except in BBall?

[BCRavens]

He just said any problems at Arkansas had nothing to do with his decision to go back. Said it was just in his heart to go back. Apparently got a call from Arkansas this morning, perhaps concerning the Wally article. Said he had made his decision Monday night.
