(INSERT NAME HERE) TO COLORADO?
Rampant speculation season has taken the place of actual action for the moment, so let's take a roll in the muck and mire of the Colorado coaching search.
First, there's the usual suspects. The perpetually insecure Glen Mason has been mentioned, if only briefly, which has got to make Minnesota feel a bit like the soon-to-jilt husband to Mason's chronically insecure diva of a coach: he takes the program, makes it what it is, and yet consistently flirts with other jobs, including an all-out campaign for the Ohio State job pre-Tressel. A faint lead compared to...
...Dan Hawkins, who has already interviewed for the job, according to The Daily Camera... and now ESPN.com. Hawkins is already in the neighborhood and knows how to coach up talent. Irresponsible armchair psychology would suggest that Hawkins, a young, high-energy coach who's pushed Boise to the limits of its potential, would suit this job description:
Bohn said he is looking for the Kathy McConnell-Miller of football coaches, a high-energy, people person who will embrace the job and the city of Boulder for years to come.
Ahh, to be the Kathy McConnell-Miller of football coaches.

With a rebel yell, he cried more--more more more more more.
Hawkins seems like the likeliest pick, but two others are already getting sniffs: former Colorado tight end Jon Embree, now assistant head coach at UCLA, and Butch Davis, former Miami head coach and renowned NFL draft expert.

Hey guys, I love the site, but EDSBSs coverage of CU is beginning to resemble ESPNs coverage of TO. Wait! I’m a slave to ESPNs coverage of TO.

We sympathize, but there’s not much more in the way of stories right now. Plus, Dan Hawkins is fascinating, if only for his enormous skull.

Plus, Orson has been obsessed with Gary Barnett’s strange allure for years.

Do what ESPN does when its a slow news day, just invent a story. But I’d imagine EDSBS journalistic standards are a little higher than ESPNs. (that doesnt necessarily say much though)

Orson, check this out for more Barnett fun. FYI, the second co-ed interviewed is far more indicative of the general CU population than the first.

Emphasizing the Police Blotter- plenty of drunk driving wrecks and racist emails being sent around to fill the day (and they’re not even happening in ohio).
