In case you missed it below, the Buffs have five more recruits coming into

town, bringing their total number of visitors to 9. There are some good prospects in town. A lot of wide receivers, a QB, a RB, a LB and a national top 100 player at safety:

Here are the detailed breakdowns:

All the more reason....

to bounce back from that awful showing in Manhatten with a win today. I have no idea which Buffs team is going to show up.

by HBbuff on Oct 31, 2009 11:31 AM MDT up reply actions  

That is how I feel...it makes for a nervous pregame

I love these visitors in today…they are big and athletic. This is a game we need to have to send these kids home really thinking about Colorado. Many of these players are a little raw but talented regardless.

I think it is way worse than the last two years. at least Mizzou was good then, they are younger than us, there is no excuse to get killed today.

the coaches quotes before the games were very telling:
(I’m paraphrasing)
Pinkel: “yeah, we’re young, but who cares, we still need to win”
Hawkins: “it takes time to coach the youth out of kids”

At this point, is it wrong to hope for a beatdown so epic they have no choice but to fire Hawkins?

I would never condone this under normal circumstances, but I’ve been watching football for a quarter century and have never seen a team/coaching this inept at ANY level. Hell, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a sports team this consistently non-competitive, and I was around for the Junior Harrington Nuggets.

They’re chanting “fire Hawkins” in the stands at Folsom Field. This is just ugly.

Well forget about Justin Parker

None of these recruits are going to want to sign with CU. Atleast our defense looks moderately okay, but the offense just needs to be clean housed. Clean house the coaching staff.

at least Parker cancelled the trip...

we have demetrius wright, a top 100 player witnessing this though.

amazing

The thing that gets me was all week long all we heard from the players was that they were pissed about last years game. And then here we are…where is the fire? What do these coaches give these guys before a game? This is pathetic.
Many some of the Alums back for homcoming will pony up some cash to get rid of these guys. Start passing a hat

No wonder we cannot even sell out the stadium, even with 2 for 1 tickets.

Dan Hawkins has destroyed this program. I know our players are the ones on the field, but the coach is supposed to coach them up and motivate them when they cannot motivate.

Wow….

I'm absolutely baffled at the vitriol about the offensive game plan

The PLAYERS are simply god awful. Every single of them. And Hansen is the biggest offender. But yeah, keep blaming Hawkins because Simas can’t catch, Miller can’t block, and Hansen can’t do anything.
