Big 12 Preview - Colorado

Phil Steele points out that Cody Hawkins became the first 1-A QB to play for his father since Rodney Bryant played for Steve Bryant at Ohio in 1989. The Ohio Bobcats went 1-9-1 that year, and Bryant was replace by Tom Lichtenberg. Anytime you’re replaced by someone whose name rhymes with the Hindenberg, that’s not a good sign. Anyway, back to the Buffs. The Buffs return nine starters on an offense that – to put it mildly – sucked. They were last in the conference in rushing and points per game, and 11th in passing. I’m not sure it’s a good thing to return starters in that instance. I see Colorado finishing 4th in the North and going 4-8 this year, with losses at Toledo, at West Virginia, at Texas, to Kansas, Missouri, Cash Machine U, at Boone State and to the Bugeaters. There's little margin for error at this point in the Buffs history, so they need to make sure they listen to the coaches.

Big 12 North #4 - Colorado

I feel like this Buffs fan is going to need this finger again this year. The Buffs showed improvement in 2007- including an upset over the Sooners. Dan Hawkins is staking his Colorado coaching era on his son Cody as QB. Having a coach’s child involved in the program at Colorado is a long-standing tradition, dating back to the late 80s when Sal Aunese knocked up Coach McCartney’s daughter. McCartney won a national championship a couple of years later. We’ll see how Hawkins approach turns out.

No Buffaloes were harmed

No buffaloes were harmed in the filming of this video. Five minutes of extensive searching on various sites in Colorado indicate that - well, wait a minute, no one mentions whether the handler was hurt when HE GOT FREAKING RUN OVER BY A BUFFALO.

A&M has a dog that's been run over as a mascot. Colorado has a mascot that runs over humans. Somehow, burying dogs outside a football stadium makes more sense now than it did yesterday.
