Go coach intramurals brotha! This is division one football, the Big 12. In other words, you don't belong here.
Even C-Hawk knows that his daddy is a sucky football coach.
I am predicting that we will not run the ball effectively against Hawaii because that is not what Colorado football is about
anymore. Plus, our offensive line sucks. I hope I'm wrong, but there's no logical reason to believe that we'll be able and
willing to run the ball with authority. Every good CU team that I can think of has always run the ball effectively, but this staff
and group of players seem unwilling and incapable of doing so.
I don't believe we will run the ball because Colorado football is not about running the ball anymore. Besides, if our o-line sucks again, how can we run the ball effectively? I wish I wasn't so negative about Buff football, but after what I've seen from Hawk Dawg the past few years and how he does things, there is really no reason to believe that the Buffs will have a decent season until it actually happens. The secondary is getting a lot of hype because on paper, they look pretty good as a whole. However, do people not remember getting rolled last year by piss poor programs such as Toledo? Before the season last year, I was drinking the kool-aid. This year, however, I am not. Instead, I shall pee in the kool-aid and give it to the incompetent one, a.k.a. the Hawk Dawg.
I would love to think that the Buffs will have a winning season this year, but as long as Hawk Dawg is at the helm, I don't see it happening. Take last year, for example. I thought the Buffs had enough talent to win at least 6 games, and the way the team ended up performing was embarrasing and inexcusable. Looking at this year's team, I think there would be a lot to be excited about if Hawk Dawg were not the coach. For example, we seem to have some decent WR's now. However, some of them seem a little too fast, so Hawk Dawg will likely opt for guys such as Espy and other gritty, undertalented guys. Super Scotty should be the focal point of the passing game again because of his determination and veteran influence. Hansen's the QB for now, but just as the coaches have been saying all along, Hansen and C-Hawk are actually neck and neck. Therefore, look for C-Hawk to get some playing time sooner or later, even if it's just situational stuff. I guarantee that Hawk Dawg will not allow C-Hawk to stay off the field during his senior season. I would like to think otherwise, but I also believe the o-line will underachieve again because of what I can only assume has to do with coaching.
It would be scary to be on this team right now. I don't blame all these guys for transfering. Unless you're a masochist, why would anyone in his right mind want to play for Hawk? I worry about the kinds of guys we're bringing in too. Not to discount the importance of being a student as well as an athlete, but it seems like a lot of the guys that are committing now are fond of saying things like "Golly, Hawk wants me to graduate, what a good guy. I can't wait to get to Boulder to work on my degree." I want fierce guys who are obsessed with football. I'd rather have guys who go to class because they have to. Hawk is going to continue watering down the program the longer he stays.
How is the offensive line not better? They SEEM like they have some good players. How does a guy like Simmons not play a lot more than he did? He's big, fast, and can catch. As a coach of a player like that, find a way to get him heavily involved. My money is on Espy to surpass Simmons and others on the depth chart, and it'll be him and Super Scotty as the first two wideouts because Hawk views them as a couple of gritty sons of guns. Simas will be relegated to the slot.
Sumler never put up great stats, but one of the most frustrating things about this program is that you can never be confident that the coaches are using guys correctly and putting them in positions to help the team. For example, I'd like to believe that we'll have a good passing attack next year. It SEEMS like we could with all the receivers that SEEM talented and with a guy like Hansen at QB. However, I'm sure the coaching staff will find a way to make the offense sucky again.
Tell me about it. It should not be possible for one of the sweetest days of the year to start out like this.
I preferred the dumb and dumber haircut that he had when he first arrived at CU. It fit his personality better.
