Not a dry eye in the club this morning as Peyton Hillis recants what he remembers from the tragedy that struck him and his family earlier this year…
(Thread 1/3)
I’ve been asked a lot lately, “Why Sam Pittman?”
My answer: “We needed someone that knew how to rebuild a team in recruiting, we needed someone with SEC experience and we needed a genuine person to be our football coach.”

@HunterYurachek
“Coach Odom wants to be a head coach again. I don’t think he would ever leave Arkansas for another coordinator position, but possibly a head coaching position.”

@HunterYurachek
“I’m ashamed of what was in the emails, BUT I am human. I have a family, I go to church, all I ask is that people can forgive me and give me a 2nd chance.”

Peyton Manning on his experience at LRTD Club. Huge thanks to Peyton, Archie, and
@EliManning
for all making the trip to speak to our members over the years.
@OmahaProd
“I have a challenge for you (fans), come to the game and raise a little bit hell. The fans are worth 7 points. Let’s have some fun!, GO HOGS.” -Sam Pittman
“We have a great group of coaches. I love that all of our coaches support each other. Coach Pittman went to meet a softball recruit 30 minutes prior to the game the other day to welcome them to Arkansas."
“This game is one of the more memorable games that I ever played. I wish I would have been on winning side, but it’s been fun to relive it.” -
@EliManning
Last year I told Burk’s, “I bet you’ve never seen The Boot (prior to winning)”
Burks: “ oh yes I have”
“When bc it’s not been here while you’ve been here.”
Burks: “When LSU recruited me”
@CoachSamPittman
“Fans have the right to boo at a game. Maybe they need to think of it being their son or grandson down on that field before they boo again.” -Hunter Yurachek
Peyton Hillis’ thoughts on Monday’s appearance at our meeting. The
@RazorbackFB
legend shared some powerful testimony on saving his son & niece in the ocean. We also enjoyed looking back at his outstanding football career. Appreciate you

As we prepare for today’s meeting, it is with great sadness we share with you the passing of Gary Underwood. Gary has given the invocation each week since the formation of our club. We will miss his smile, humor, and warm personality. The head table will never be the same. 🙏🏼
“He was real cool he could handle anything, ice water in his veins”

“Darren was a home run hitter, and what i mean by that is, you get him to the second level and he’s gone.”

National Championship! Incredible season as they finish 15-0 and dominate Colorado Mines in the title game 38-7!
“We have 120 players on the field and there are even duplicate numbers. It makes it very difficult to retire numbers. I am very open to honoring numbers though."
Behind every touchdown, there's a heartfelt story. Peyton Manning opens up about the letter his brother Cooper wrote him, hoping to live out his football dreams through him.
