Thanks for ruining my Thanksgiving Bohn, DiStefano, or whoever the hell is in charge over there. Apparently winning isn’t at all a concern with these guys. I thought the 3 million “was there” (according to Fowler).

I now return us to our regularly scheduled hatred of NU on this week. Ill get us started; they steal our water, their coeds are fat, and they smoke a lot of meth. Anyone else wanna run with this?

The biggest problem to me seemed to be that Dan was too emotionally invested in Cody. There’s a reason nepotism is often discouraged; even if the beneficiary is qualified, it can be hard to be dispassionate enough to make sound judgments when that person is involved, and I always felt like the offense suffered from that.

(Grain of salt: Going to school in Tennessee, I didn’t watch all your games, but…) I thought that Cody was asked to throw the ball far too many times, and to attempt passes that he wasn’t capable of making. He tried his best – I can’t fault him for effort – but Cody doesn’t exactly have top-10-NFL-draft skills to go with that effort. The offense was a little too predictable as a result (stop the pass first; worry about the run second) and the passes were often high-risk passes without sufficient reward to justify the attempt.

But those were the plays as designed.

I had the feeling that he wanted to see his son succeed badly enough that he was ignoring the warning signs in his approach. But with the father-son relationship out of the way, he should be expected to make more rational play-calling decisions.

I’m not saying CU will suddenly turn into world-beaters, but at least things should make more sense on offense. And hopefully, getting Toledo’d will be a thing of the past.

This announcement is supposed to go down? I’m traveling tomorrow to Chicago. Also, is there still a CU bar in Chicago? When I lived there we went to BW3’s on Lincoln, but is that still a good place to go for the Fuskers game? Thanks

You guys call us names and make fun of us for being “hicks” (when, in all actuality, we have indoor plumbing and don’t have to resort to urinating in a bottle and, in turn, throw it on an opposing team’s fans.)

But now this, your broke asses don’t have enough money to buy out a coach’s contract! But I guess that’s what you get for being virtually irrelevant in every major college sport. Oh well, I guess we’ll get to keep our “I’d be the quarterback if my dad was coach, too” shirts around for another season.

Have fun being irrelevant for at least one more season.

PS: This entire comment is meant to be a joke. I actually hope you guys can turn it around, we need more strength in the North, and I don’t see “Lame” Gabbert and Mizzou becoming a powerhouse anytime soon.

Earlier a story broke that Hawkins was told by the chancellor that his job was safe. Later today CU refuted that article. Now Bohn is holding a press conference tomorrow about the coaching situation and will be meeting with Hawkins beforehand. If Hawk is staying, what would he need to discuss with him before the press conference??

I’m sure many administrator and professors might question CU for paying another $3 million buyout when the entire CU system has been cutting pretty much everything. The sad fact is that the state of Colorado does not support it’s schools, period. I now live in Cleveland, OH and with all of the economic turmoil going on in this state Ohio State is still getting much better state funding than CU. As a CU grad, from Ohio, that is fucking pathetic. Sorry to be so blunt, but it needs to be said – you can only suck off the out of state tuition tit for so long.
As far as Hawkins staying around, with our schedule next season and our road woes, I’d be surprised if we go 5-7.

If they were to fire Hawk, they would wait until after the football banquet which is on Sunday. I don’t think tomorrow’s announcement bodes well for those CU fans hoping we won’t be there next year.
