Poll of the week: 2007 Razorbacks
It's that time of the year. Let's hear your opinion on the Hogs' 2007 record. I'm headed up the Hill alone this weekend while the rest of my family goes to Waco. Here's the schedule to help you with your vote:
9/1 Troy (Fayetteville)
9/15 At Alabama
9/22 Kentucky (Fayetteville)
9/29 North Texas (Fayetteville)
10/6 Tennessee-Chattanooga (Little Rock)
10/13 Auburn (Fayetteville)
10/20 At Ole Miss
10/27 Florida International (HC- Fayetteville)
11/3 South Carolina (Fayetteville)
11/10 At Tennessee
11/17 Mississippi State (Little Rock)
11/23 At LSU
Here are some good football quotes to get you in the season:
"You can learn more character on the two-yard line than anywhere else in life." Paul Dietzel (LSU)
"All the white meat is gone. There's nothin' but necks on the platter." Darrell Royal (Texas) on the rest of a tough schedule after beating a couple of soft opponents.
"If you want to walk the heavenly streets of gold, you gotta know the password, 'Roll, Tide, Roll!'" Bear Bryant (Alabama) (a distant cousin of mine)
"It was like having a big ol' lollipop in your mouth and the first thing you know all you have is the stick." Darrell Royal (Texas) on losing a game in the last minute
"Football is only a game. Spiritual things are eternal. Nevertheless, Beat Texas." Seen on a church sign in Fayetteville prior to the 1969 Big Shootout. Coach Royal's reply: "I was hoping He would be neutral."
"The man who complains about the way the ball bounces is likely to be the one who dropped it." Lou Holtz (Arkansas)
"Dance with the one who brung you." Darrell Royal (Texas)
"I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game." Bear Bryant (Alabama)
"I never graduated from Iowa, but I was only there for two terms -- Truman's and Eisenhower's." Alex Karras (Iowa)
"Always remember... Goliath was a 40 point favorite over David." Shug Jordan (Auburn)
"Show me a good and gracious loser, and I'll show you a failure." Knute Rockne (Notre Dame)
"They whipped us like a tied up goat." Spike Dykes (Texas Tech)
"I asked Darrell Royal, the coach of the Texas Longhorns, why he didn't recruit me and he said: 'Well, Walt, we took a look at you and you weren't any good.'" Walt Garrison (Oklahoma State)
"If lessons are learned in defeat, our team is getting a great education." Murray Warmath (Minnesota)
During post-game press conference, following a thrashing by one of the league's powerhouses, when asked to comment on his team's execution, John McKay (USC/Tampa Bay Bucs) replied, "I'm in favor of it."
McKay was bird hunting with Bear Bryant, when the Bear took a shot. The bird kept flying. Bryant said to Mc Kay, "John, there's something you don't see everyday-a dead bird flying."
