    The absurdity of this story is comical

    http://www.9news.com/news/article.as...8355&catid=188

    Feel free to watch the video on the right too. Do big-time football schools have to put up with crap like this?

    I mean, now we are going to criticize a football coach for not reading e-mails? Really? Is this an episode of the Twilight Zone?

    The sheer gall of the man to have a private work email account. I was trying to support him, but this just put me over the edge. :rolleyes:

    I saw this on Rivals and people were actually using the story as a reason to blast Hawkins. Really?

    Umm, I have "public" and "private" email accounts I use for BS sites vs. friends/business, respectively, and I suppose almost everyone online does, except pure neophytes. "Secret" email acount, hahaha.

    Who can blame him for that? I'm a nobody and get more e:mail than I can manage. I can get 30 or 40 a day and its too much. I'd imagine he gets hundreds upon hundreds.

    He didn't have a private email account before this? Maybe that's why he was doing a poor job of coaching. The dude couldn't communicate with anyone because his email was full of "YOU SUCK". At least DS didn't try and email him his intentions.

    any guesses as to what the private email is? TheLittleThings@Colorado.edu?

    the athletic department demanded Dan Hawkins get a new secret e-mail that would be known only to his closest advisors and top players.
    Haha, so who are the top players? The ones he is sure aren't transferring? Or the ones he knows like him? Or the ones who sit the bench, but shouldn't?

    Its really funny that powers that be didnt see this as a sign that things need to be changed. If your coach has 5,000 "you suck, eff off and day" emails a day, thats a bad thing.

    Although I don't believe in sending emails blasting the guy, I do find it ironic for a guy who a short time ago was running around embracing technology and the social networking is now not reading anything. Seems like not too long ago he was quoting the great emails he was getting.

    Ohhh geez, the media is piling on now... This is the kind of crap you have to deal with though when you are losing and the school does nothing about it. In all due respect though, Hawk did come across as a whiny moron in that story. No matter if it was about something petty, this did not help him in public opinion.

    That's what I was thinking. The high profile folks at the University, from Benson to DiStefano to coaches, Plati, etc. should probably all have an e-mail address for public contact and another for work correspondence - just for the sake of efficiency...

    So what is the approved medium for voicing our displeasure with the current boobs in charge? I doubt they read message boards. Boo.
