Dan Hawkins defines class
Posted by HenryJames on November 1st, 2007 under Football
Colorado coach Dan Hawkins launched into a bizarre defense of the New England Patriots yesterday at his press conference. He was asked and answered a question about leading the nation in 4th down attempts and then started talking about the Patriots.
“Personally, I think it’s awesome because those guys, I think a lot of times people get into sportsmanship and what’s classy and all that,” Hawkins said. “What’s classy to me is those guys have got a standard and they’re on it. They don’t care who they play and they don’t care what the score is, they’re going to bring it.
Personally, I think it’s awesome that Hawkins uses the word awesome. His speech is an amalgam of Patrick Swayne movie lines.
‘Pain don’t hurt.’
“If you’re not defending the onside kick, they’re going to onside it. If you’re not defending the fake spike, they’re going to fake-spike it.’
If you’re not defending the stolen sign, they’re doing to steal it.
“In the long haul, it pays dividends on and off the field. I totally believe that.”
Hawkins then spent that night attacking the trick or treaters who came to his door, stealing their candy and sending them crying to their parents.
Because those little pussies weren’t defending it.

No Kalin Lucas?
No problem.
“Too Easy” has had his share of leg and ankle problems this season, and with two minutes left in the Spartans’ second round matchup with Greivis Vasquez and the Maryland Terrapins, he made an early exit.
State’s 5′11″ point-man Korie Lucious may have a little something to

This really has been a great start. It’s pretty exciting to see dark horse teams winning by playing solid basketball rather than just shooting the lights out. 4 year players are so key.

Cornell is playing phenomenally well. I’d be surprised if Wiscy doesn’t cut into the lead in the 2nd half.

I really like Cal today.
ATM and Cornell look too good to be true and the public is all over both of them.
I gotta believe that Izzo beats Maryland today, I haven’t been impressed with the Terps this year. I am surprised that they are favored.

gotta,
I think your overall point is a good one. Barnes is a “system” guy especially defensively, which plays into how he overall plays the game. He wants to play a high pressure, overplay man2man scheme predicated on effort, good technique and overall quickness. Similar to Duke, but even Coach K (in fairness

What a glorious, glorious day of basketball at the Ford Center Saturday.
First, Ali Ali Farokhmanesh and all the other Panthers with cool names took down Kansas as Sherron Collins made his best effort to shed that “clutch” label on the last game of his collegiate career. Then of course, Kansas State waved goodbye to Jimmer

It is just amazing to me that most posters think that Jordan has improved so much in the last half of the season.
The one thing I will say is that Jordan has just started to show his ability with a basketball. The reason that he did not show his talents is up to all the -

Offense
Both teams are unselfish and preach sharing the ball. A&M is a balanced scoring team. Sloan showed in the first round against Utah State, for example, that he can defer when his teammates have things going. Purdue once again will have to rely on JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore to produce, and hope

It says a lot about the Big 12 when Dan Hawkins is actually considered to be one of the rational coaches in the conference. Or if not rational, then at the very least, one of the less crazy coaches.
