Arkansas quotes
Feb 14, 2017, 12:28 PM
|
|
Upon accepting the Arkansas job: "I don't know how I'm gonna get my cows across that big river."
On how his teams would play: "We ain't gonna take no bull off nobody."
And a true Arkansas story: As soon as Danny accepted the job, he started going statewide talking to the razorback fan clubs. At one stop, the host had a little piglet which he held up and told Danny, "If you're a true razorback, you'll kiss this pig" So, Danny takes the pig and kisses it. Still holding the pig, Danny points it backwards toward the host and says, "Now, let's see how big of razorback fan you are."

Thanks for this thread, these are all great. Love Danny Ford so much. Hope he understands how much he is appreciated. So so wish we would name a building after him while he's still alive to see it. I know he doesn't care but I do!

The story I heard once from Bobby Bowden (paraphasing)
Feb 14, 2017, 12:43 PM
|
|
Bowden was on an in-home recruiting visit. He was talking to the recruit and Dad, but he really wanted to talk to the mom ... but she was no where to be found. After a few minutes, he walked back to the kitchen and saw Coach Ford with an apron on, helping the mom do dishes. Bowden said he just walked out cause there was nothing he could do at that point.

My namesake here. Levon Kirkland said that Ford told all the incoming freshman:
"You boys are here to play football. You can get yer education on your own time."
