On a Ford Mission


May 11, 2016, 10:54 AM

Sort of off-topic, but just wondering if any of you have ever approached Danny Ford in public?

I'm trying to get a football signed for my boyfriend's birthday and a fellow Clemson employee told me that he hangs out at Dyar's in Pendleton for lunch most days. Is it weird to go there to get a signature? Is there a better way? I definitely don't want to seem crazy. I thought about picking up his lunch tab in exchange.

Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Don't walk up to him and say, "sign the ball you old POS"


May 11, 2016, 10:56 AM

And you sound like a stalker. I hope someone notifies Clemson pd to watch out for you.

he was at my church service in columbia and after it was over I asked him for a photo...he was completely fine with it.

Yeah, I definitely won't interrupt his meal, but if he's coming in or out, I may try it.

Maybe if you waited until he was on his way to the truck, it might be a better idea than to approach him while he is eating his lunch.

I don't have any ideas of how or when you should approach him, just be sure to address him as Coach Ford.

He is very approachable. I would be honest and tell him, you heard he went to lunch there and don't want to bother him but you came there for one reason, in hopes to catch him and get his autograph. Would he mind giving you a quick one and you will leave him alone.... I would offer to pay for his lunch in return but I will be shocked if he allows it. He's done it a million times and you wont be the last...Just my thoughts.

Coach Ford is a great guy and I assure you he will not be disrespectful to you if you explain the situation Play it by ear and do it the right way and you will have your wish granted. You appear to be a lady of intellect so this should be easy for you to pull off.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That is definitely the place to find him.


May 11, 2016, 11:29 AM

I've been to lunch there twice with family that live in the area and he was there both times. He sort of has his own table there.

Both times I was there it was obvious he had just come out of the fields at his farm to have lunch (and had not bothered to clean up or change his boots).

Good luck!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Sadly, no such luck today.


May 11, 2016, 1:14 PM

But the food was awesome! I can see why he frequents the place.

Tell him the autograph is for Max Lennon.


May 11, 2016, 11:32 AM

He'd do anything for Max.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


He meant to say "He would do anything TO Max!"


May 11, 2016, 1:53 PM

LOL

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Very approachable. He's had a million lunches - interrupt it


May 11, 2016, 11:37 AM

and tell him the deal. He'll be fine with it.

Cleavage never hurts with old dudes, either.

Find his waitress & pay for his lunch, otherwise he would never accept.

I like your idea, but a signature is not what your boyfriend


May 11, 2016, 11:52 AM

wants.

You need to ask Danny if you and your boyfriend can have some "alone time" on one of his tractors. I mean, how could Danny say no? Your boyfriend will remember it forever. Remember, you may not be around for long but he will ALWAYS love Clemson football.

May 11, 2016, 3:07 PM

your boyfriend being asked for his signature on a Clemson football. How would he react? That's probably what you can expect from Danny. He's as down to earth and as much a Clemson Fan as anyone I know.

Just make sure you thank him for his dedication to our University's Football Program.

Btw, nothing about Danny is ever off topic on this forum.
