Before I Self Destruct

You got to relax, we got to kick back
Brothers just sit back, enjoy me like a six pack...

Dan Hawkins will be back in 2010 as the head coach at The University of Colorado. Excuse me but I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. The news is just stinky and wrong on so many levels and the SG takes a look:

-The framework was in place for Hawk to be fired weeks ago, the money in place, donors, alums, cabinet members, former players, everyone was on board. The short list of replacements was floating around and feelers were starting to go out. Then, AD Mike Bohn boarded a plane for Maui for the Maui Invitational. Too many Mai Tais on the beach? Bong hits of some Maui Wowie with some surfers named Tunes and Kiki? While Mike frolicked in paradise, Hawk was back in Boulder meeting with Mike's bosses. Yep, Hawk went over the ADs head and pitched the big wigs like he was junior Rick Neuheisel.

-The schedule for 10 is a step up from this year's schedule. Out is Toldeo and off to Cal for a road game. Road games at Mizzou, Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska. And we know Hawk is so stellar on the road. The home slate replaces Wyoming with Georgia. CSU, they who won on the Folsom turf then dropped eight in a row, moves back to Denver. But don't worry, Hawk will use some old Swahili proverb to help his charges on the road.

-Get used to empty seats at Folsom. Outside of the Georgia game, the home schedule is about as attractive as the skank you hooked up with at your hometown bar the night before Thanksgiving. Hawaii, Baylor, Texas Tech, Iowa State, K-State. The AD was practically giving away tickets this year for the A&M and KU game, think people will be banging the door to see Baylor. No buzz with the coach, no buzz at the booth.

-Recruiting is damn vicious and other coaches will go after the CU coach from all angles. However, it won't be Texas or USC recruits, in fact it might not even be UCLA or Texas A&M, we might be talking going against the likes of New Mexico, CSU, and Tulsa for players. Recruting will undoubtedly suffer with a possible lame duck coach. CU stands 11th in the conference as we speak.

-Hawk's quotes are so damn tired, whereas they used to be kind of a Yogi Berra type quirkiness. "You just have to keep banging on the pavement. I tell the guys all the time, if you have to take out concrete, you bang on it and nothing happens, you bang on it, nothing happens. But pretty soon, there's a crack, then it crumbles, then it goes." Huh? How about the concrete pump truck just hauls you away Hawk?

-Transfers- expect them.

-More drinking for me to cope- expect it.
