A Match Made in College Football Heaven
ESPN released its announcer lineup for the upcoming college football season, and former Colorado coach Dan Hawkins made the roster. Best of all he is teamed with a returning BC announcing All-American, Pam Ward. Ward and Hawkins will work Saturday afternoon games on ESPNU, which means mostly Big...
The Hawk Will Coach Intramurals
Dan Hawkins will have to do his spirit quests on someone else's dime. Because he's gone at Colorado. Hawkins was 19-39 leading the Buffs in his tenure, despite a sterling 53-11 record at Boise State where he played a significant role in building the Boise State brand. Which gives pause and...
Dan Hawkins Has What it Takes to Sell Real Estate
I missed this news when it surfaced a week ago so in case you did too, here's the deal: When asked earlier this year what the athletic department might do to help the football program succeed, Colorado Head Coach Dan Hawkins suggested a contract extension. Apparently, with a straight face....
Zombie Coaches
No, not coaches like Chizik, that will devour your brain, but rather coaches that are like "zombie banks", that are dead (their schools want to fire them), but still moving (because their schools lack the buyout money to do so). I think that this is a new phenomena, because buyouts got so large in...
Looking @ Colorado Buffaloes Football
While we're all busy looking ahead to OU, musing about our basketball team like Topekans in February, and expressing wonder at how the football gods continue to ease our path to Dallas and Pasadena (I'm now convinced that the Alabama and Florida team buses will crash into each other four hours...
Mack Brown compliments Cody Hawkins. I think.
From yesterday's press conference. Yes, we actually had Cody here at our camp. He came down and spent time with us. I think Major was coaching him at that time when he was a graduate assistant. Cody is a lot like Colt. He is tough, he’s smart, he makes good decisions, and you’re not going to...
Dan Hawkins Seeks The Wisdom of Busey
It's Boulder, Colorado. Dan Hawkins has locked himself in the master bathroom of his Iroquois longhouse where he sits despondent on his flawless tile. Not even his dog-eared Sun Tzu coloring book can cheer him. Hawkins: Please, Busey-spirit. I am your brother. The Hawk seeks your...
So When Does Dan Hawkins Get Fired?
I'm guessing sometime between now and next Saturday. As I type this the Buffs are down four touchdowns to the Toledo Rockets. A MAC team whose claim to fame revolves around a federal investigation for fixing games and point shaving. As a Texas fan, I can recognize what is going on with Colorado. ...
Tracking Baylor, Foresight Wizardy, Other Quickies
The Briles Baylor Bears Bowl March Well, I promised a Baylor update every week, whether my prediction of 8-4 begins to look like an absurdity or not. I am always happy to eat crow and be mocked, as I gladly return that when I can. Well, today is more me mocking than anything, so imagine me typing...
2009 Colorado Football Preview: State of the Union
Dan Hawkins is a confident guy, but he’s not a patient guy. He wants to win now. The Colorado fanbase isn’t so much impatient as they are apathetic. If you don’t want the student body eating Nepalese food and listening to Ward Churchill speeches rather than watching football, you need to give them...
