Buffs' next hire has to make big dollars—and sense - NCAA Football - Sporting News - News of Dan Hawkins firing trumps anything else coming out of the University of Colorado in recent days.

Big 12 Stock Watch: Week 12 - Big 12 Blog - ESPN - Ubben's sarcasm aside, quite a few non-Colorado people have pointed this trend out to me this season.

Perplexing penalties - I've got no idea what this means, but get a load of this stat:
