I was just surfing around on ebay, and I came across this auction that made me chuckle.

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Arkansas-Razorbacks-Autograph-Stan-Heath-Dollar-Hogs-BB-/280496227590?pt=US_Autographs&hash=item414ee0c506

 

First, clearly an Arkansas fan ran into coach Heath out to dinner or somewhere around town and wanted an autograph, but didn't have any good items to get signed, so he went with what he had. 

 

Second, always weird to see our coach with a signature that says "Go Hogs" ... and yes, I completely get the fact that he would have signed it while he was head coach at Arkansas.

 

Third, the Razorback's fan kept that dollar all these years, and just now is trying to cash in on it.

 

I am tempted to offer him 75 cents for it (with free shipping) ..... with no disrespect to Coach Heath, but that really isn't a collectible, but it is still worth a dollar.

The way current Hog Coach Mike Anderson is struggling some Hog fans probably missed the days of those talented teams under Heath making into the NCAAT. Like at USF, Heath 2 NCAAT teams at Arkansas were always on the bubble to make it, but they did get in even if they got beat in the 1st rd both times. Now Heath teams didn't always play fast like they wanted, but his teams didn't  play slow either. Plus he SEC was a lot tougher then it has been since he got fired.

It's actually a crime to write on a dollar.

...only if the intent is fraud or to render it unfit for use. 

 

An autograph, dependent upon who the coach is, may or may not fall within that domain.

 

Now, if you down at the lounge next to the airport, sittin' up against da stage, 

depending on who's dancing...well...your tip may actually render that bill 

unfit.

I collect autographs, only once did I get a dollar bill signed ... Donald Trump, many years ago, in fact I got OJ Simpson that same day, before he became famous for anything other than acting and playing football.  Since Trump was famous for being rich, it seemed like a good fit. I wonder where that dollar is, the signature was such scribble that I bet my parents found it and spent it.

Thank you. I always appreciate the kind words.

 

Please understand I only know a couple people on here in terms of real name and screen name, so be sure to say hello at a game and if you want, let me know your screen name so I can put the two together in my head.

 

For what it is worth, I don't regret my decision to not pursue an opportunity with IMG (who took over the ticket sales); USF doesn't seem to regret the decision they made to go with the new company; and I am enjoying being a fan and season ticket holder. I still have great relationships with my former coworkers (and I enjoy being able to see them at games and saying hello) .... so in the end, everything worked out fine.
