PRO FOOTBALL'S ULTIMATE FAN ASSOCIATION

RING OF HONOR MEMBER

AWARDED AS ACTIVE MEMBER OF ORGANIZATION

Danny Dillman (Sergeant Colt) was inducted into our organization in the Class of 2003, was honored by the "Visa Hall of Fans" as the Indianapolis Colts Ultimate Fan of 2002, and was inducted into the Pro Football's Ultimate Fan Association "Ring of Honor" in 2023. He is only the third living member to receive this honor and joins Monte Short (Arrowman) and Karl Sides (Ram Man) in this prestigious honor.

Sergeant Colt is a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps where he served in both the Enlisted and Officer ranks. His persona is a direct reflection of his service as a Drill Instructor. He was honored by the Indianapolis Colts with a banner at Lucas Oil Stadium from 2008 to 2018.

Danny has served this organization steadily and faithfully for over 20 years. He was our 5th President from 2008 to 2010, served as Vice President under Jeff Pintea (Pantherman) from 2006 to 2008, and served as temporary Vice President under Raider Ron in 2006 when Barrel Man became too ill to carry out his duties. He served on the Board of Directors from 2010 to 2011 and was reelected to the Board in 2023. He continues to serve as the Chairman of the PFUFA History Committee and is also its founder. He served on the Ring Committee from 2006 to 2013 and was its founder as well. Danny has also served as the PFUFA Website Administrator since 2007. Recently, he was selected and serves on the Advisory Committee to the PFUFA President.

While serving as an Officer, a Director, or on a Committee, Danny:

Together with President Raider Ron created the PFUFA Ring of Honor in 2005 (of which he is now a member).
Created the first PFUFA Ring in 2006. The very first ring was Daniel Sachar's (Hardcore) ring that was presented to his wife at the 2006 Annual PFUFA Reunion.
Created every Annual PFUFA Reunion Logo since 2007.
Created the PFUFA Website in 2007 and purchased the web address www.pfufa.org. He has built six versions/generations of this site.
Wrote and created the PFUFA Draft in 2007 and helped to lead the 2007 Annual Business Meeting that adopted the draft process.
Created and produced the PFUFA Draft Card in 2007.
Created the PFUFA Challenge Coin in 2008. Danny brought a taste of his military background to the group by introducing the coin as our unique “membership card” and a way for members to interact during the season. The coin was then handed to members as their 2008 Membership Gift at the Annual PFUFA Reunion. He also welcomed the first draft class (Class of 2008) members with their coins. (see History, Chapter 5 for the video)
Saved this organizational structure by establishing PFUFA as a "Doing Business As" (DBA) in Ohio in 2008 to account for the organizational suspension in the state of California.
Created the PFUFA Pick'em Game and the Pick the Season Game in 2008.
Created the PFUFA “10 Table Ring” in 2008. Danny introduced the ring based on NY Giant Michael Strahan's comments to have his Super Bowl Ring be so large, "It can be seen from ten tables away."
Secured our organizational invitation to Pro Football Hall of Fame's First Play in 2009. We have attend every First Play since then.
Changed the Reunion Weekend schedule to accommodate the changes of Hall of Fame Festival Weekend in 2009 and strengthened the organization's relationship with the Pro Football Hall of Fame by moving the Breakfast and the Coin Induction Ceremony to Sunday morning at the Hall of Fame.
Created the Friday Night Tailgate at the Annual PFUFA Reunion.
Commissioned Hoosier Hoods to create the PFUFA Super Bowl trophy in 2009.
Established this organization as a state non-profit with the Secretary of Ohio in 2010.
Rewrote the entire By Laws, created the current organizational structure in 2010, and led the 7 hour business meeting to pass them. The major changes in the By Laws were:
- Creation of the Board of Directors
- Dissemination of power to other offices
- Creation of 2 year terms for each officer
- Creation of 2 year terms for each director
- Creation of the Membership Officer
Created the PFUFA Flag in 2012 and established the tradition of PV's finding broom handles.
Raised $1,500.00 for the J. Babe Stearn Center while serving as President.

Danny continues to educate our membership and every new Draft Class that is inducted into this organization by teaching and reminding them to put our history front and center. He literally wrote this history of this organization. You can read it by going to the Main Menu above.

Danny received the “4 Star True Blue Arrow” President's Choice Award in 2007, and has been a model member of this organization for 21 years. He is also a Lifetime Member (having paid his dues every year since 2003). He has become an Icon of PFUFA through his service to the group. In 2019, the President's Choice Award was renamed in his honor, and the word “SALUTE” was added. That year, Danny received the “4 Star True Blue Arrow Salute” President's Choice Award. He is the only member to receive this award twice.

Danny Dillman has brought structure and stability to the Pro Football’s Ultimate Fan Association, and he literally saved this organization from extinction. Monte Short (our Founder) stated twice at the 2023 Annual PFUFA Reunion, "You saved us! We would not exist without you."

CONGRATULATIONS DANNY DILLMAN ON YOUR INDUCTION INTO THE PRO FOOTBALL’S ULTIMATE FAN RING OF HONOR!!!!
