At least you didn't get blown out this time, Dan.If moral victories mattered at this point (which they don't), CU's 31-28 loss to Oklahoma State last night would definitely qualify.

"This can't get any worse, can it?"Some CU fans may regard coach Dan Hawkins admission yesterday that recruiting his son Cody was a mistake as the final nail in his coffin.

Not firing this guy is a shmuckable offense.Buffs coach Dan Hawkins couldn't have done much more this season to earn getting whacked: He lost games, he lost players, he lost faith in his son, he lost faith in himself, and he even appeared to lose his grip on reality a few times. Yet, he's s ... More >>
