awesome! Did he still say we're going to Stillwater?
awesome! Did he still say we're going to Stillwater?
Somebody want to summarize?
-On what makes Rodney Stewart so good: "Good feet. He is quick. Nice athleticism."
-On whether he feels his job in jeopardy: "The Chancellor and AD have been great... they have been awesome. These guys know what we stepped into when I took over."
-On playing on Thursday night: "That's life. We like the exposure for the program. I would prefer to play at 1:00 every Saturday."
Some more, but not a whole lot.
AGREED....whatever happened to the typical 1:30 start time in Boulder....it no longer exists

The Saturday timeframe is reserved for the main event, not unimportant curiosities and niche backwater programs.
I doubt ESPN and FCS will dangle so many TV opportunities in front of Bohn next year. Maybe that will help bring football back to Boulder on Saturdays.
Pretty much. Some reporter asked him about playing on Thursday night and he responded with the "That's life" line. I have never seen a guy talk so much while actually saying very little.

Obviously he hasn't seen what other coaches have been doing around the country in less time...
they are not. See last year. they are, however, a trademark of a team that has lost focus.Said something about penalties not being a trademark of his teams. What?
"I think a lot of it is our guys are trying too hard," Hawkins said. "It is like they want to do it so bad, it is like they are giving it every ounce of sweat they have."
Here is what he said about penalties:
Some of it may be guys pressing, but it is mostly the fact that this team lacks focus and is undisciplined. Goddamn, is it so hard to admit your team has issues? We're trying too hard? That is the best you got?
Bull S-hit. Once the little general arrives there shall be much TV interest. Esecially after he rips Mark Richts heart out and feeds it to him for dinner.

That was a very wise decision by Bohn, get the TV money while you can. Only jackoff, obscure networks will be looking for CU on TV in 2010. Let's say you schedule CU on TV for an away game - what are their chances of winning - 10%. If CU gets on TV, it will be because of the other team.TV revenue.

I think this is interesting. I remember one of my biggest complaints about Barnett was the number of penalties his teams racked up:
2001 - 97
2002 - 86
2003 - 84
2004 - 94
2005 - 116
Under Hawkins:
2006 - 63
2007 - 84
2008 - 65
2009 - 93 - Through 10 games
Some of that has to do with only playing 12 games instead of 13 or 14, but still a pretty big difference.
