INTRODUCTION
AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
HOLTZ' QUOTES has been compiled for the
football fans of the Arkansas Razorbacks and Lou Holtz.
The Razorback success of previous years were extended into
1977 through the teachings, beliefs and philosophy of Lou
Holtz.
His thoughts, humorous on the serious side, and serious on the
humorous side, have been gathered together into one collection
so the achievements and expectations of the "Hogs" can be more
fully understood. The philosophy of Coach Holtz is not
only applicable to coaching football but do developing
meaningful relations with others in every life as well.
I would like
to extend thanks to the media sources which have provided much
of the content of this book describing Lou Holtz.
Special appreciation goes to KLRA RADIO and Jay Smith for the
live Wednesday evening radio show, "Ask Lou Holtz," and to
KATV-7 and Sam Smith for their Sunday afternoon videotape
replay of the previous Saturday's Razorback game with Coach
Holtz. Gratitude go to the Arkansas Gazette for
its coverage of the Razorback football games and Lou Holtz.
Thanks also to the photographers of the Arkansas Gazette
for there photos which are an integral part of this
collection. I am very much indebted to Orville Henry for
his feature, "Lou's One Liners," which appears in the
Arkansas Gazette. Without this conveyance, many of
Coach Holtz' beliefs and comments could not have been enjoyed
by Razorback fans. I also thank the Arkansas Democrat
for its coverage of the Razorbacks and Coach Holtz. The
FABCO staff employee newsletter get a bow of many of the
philosophical thoughts of Coach Holtz.
The
arrangement of communications, which were essential for
preparing this book, could not have been accomplished without
the efficient and gracious Cathy Carpenter, secretary of Coach
Holtz.
Patience is
needed throughout any endeavor that is not part of one's every
day life. I want to thank my mother, Margaret Dugan, for
her consultation and empathy, and my children, Louise and
Donald, for their interest and especially for the
generous sharing of their time. Special love and
appreciation go to my wife, Marie, for the complementary
talents, diligence, and encouragement, but most of all for her
affection as exemplified by her understanding. |
