So When Does Dan Hawkins Get Fired?
Posted by Trips Right on September 11th, 2009 under Football
I’m guessing sometime between now and next Saturday. As I type this the Buffs are down four touchdowns to the Toledo Rockets. A MAC team whose claim to fame revolves around a federal investigation for fixing games and point shaving.
As a Texas fan, I can recognize what is going on with Colorado. I saw the same body language and effort combined with utter lack of talent when the Horns lost to Rice, Baylor, and UCLA in the nineties. Except this is Toledo. F’n Toledo.
On a brighter note, this just adds to the season theme of Texas enemies getting karmicly shanked in a Faustian manner . A giant middle finger to Thayer Evans, Darrel Scott, and his mamma. What starts here changes the world, mother fuckas. War Rockets.

No problem.

In fairness, when Hawkings promised “10 wins, no excuses,” he meant that they would be spread out over the next five seasons.

The Toledo QB is currently 13 of 19 for 303 and 4 TDs.
Both Colorado safeties have yet to make a clean tackle and are being exploited in the passing game by Amsterdam sex midgets, a Polak blocking TE, and a guy who is playing his second collegiate game at the wide receiver position.
This is just epic.
Dan Hawkins is about to weep on the sideline. And not just because they keep playing Dave Matthews music off of commercial break.
The name of Toledo’s stadium is The Glass Bowl! Ha ha. Oh, shit. I can’t stop laughing.

I’m pretty sure Opelt would be disqualified from any women’s events by the IAAF because he lacks a womb and ovaries. I’m not sure you can say the same thing for the Colorado defense.

With A&M’s strong showing against UM, the only question is which of the North dregs can beat the other two to the bottom. My bet is a CU-ISU-KSU finish. Snyder won’t let KSU win that race.

If you turn it sideways, it looks like Ralphie and his friends are running for yet another CU touchdown.

When the announcers begin to opine about how the head coach’s job is safe, it’s safe to say the head coach in question has jumped the shark.

Aaron Opelt, from the post-game press conference, on his 61 yard “scamper” for a TD:
“I didn’t know I could still run like that,” Opelt said. “I got out in the open field and it shocked me a little bit.”
Cute. Just don’t try it against a D-1 defense.

First, sessamoid FTW.
Second, I’m curious as to the true nature of the spectrum of “professionalism” in midget wrestling. Very curious. Would I feel a natural sense of accomplishment if I were a midget wrestler and was thought of as more professional than my shrimpy colleagues?
texoz said:

This is no defense of the scheduling because I think CU still may have lost if they had a full week to prepare, but scheduling a Sunday game followed by a road trip for a Friday night game was amazingly idiotic. I’m not even sure that’s been done before???
Bob in Houston said:
September 12th, 2009 at 8:50 am
I don’t know whether they had an option not to play Friday. It was Toledo’s home game, and it was the WWL.
But obviously they took the TV exposure on both ends of the week, and, um, it did not pay off.

Strange things happen in the Glass Bowl. KU went up there three or four years ago and lost in OT to an inferior Rocket team. But CU appears to be much worse than that KU team that had Adam Barmann at QB.
I’ll bet a lot of people made money on that Colorado game. Next CU plays Wyoming in a battle of states that are geographically identical… they go to West Virginia after that… and then to Texas, where the Buffs will be promptly prison sexed.

Our shows range from 3 to 10 midgets.
From this point forward, I’m going to estimate everything in units of midgets.
* I’m approximately 2 midgets tall.
* Austin is roughly 500 kilomidgets from Dallas.
* My home is approximately 200 square midgets.
* The average life expectancy for a male is 75 years, or 12 midget-years.
