Coach Dan Hawkins’ heard continues to disappoint the University of Colorado. The latest outcast is senior DT Joe Silipo who was nabbed by CU police after being spotted tampering with a lock and stealing a bike from an on-campus rental rack. Around 2:30 a.m. yesterday morning, Silipo approached a bike rental rack, jarred a bike free, then peddled down Broadway. Unfortunately, the authorities were watching Silipo in the act. When he was confronted, he stated that the bike wasn’t...
There is a blaze under Dan Hawkins seat and WR Markques Simas just added more fuel to the fire. The young Simas failed to add to his Outlook calendar that he had a criminal hearing on May 12, 2010 for his DUI charge. Simas never showed up to the courthouse. As customary practice, the court issued a bench warrant for his failure to appear. If you don’t recall, this all started when Simas was arrested back on Feb 12th upon being...
The Colorado Buffaloes continue to deal with another off-the-field incident. This time Coach Dan Hawkins had no choice but to suspend one of his players for an unfortunate act. Junior LB Brandon Gouin was suspended from the team for providing alcohol to minors. What makes this story disturbing was he was supplying high school kids with booze. Apparently, Gouin purchased four kegs of Rolling Rock beer for the 200 or so students, one being his brother, attending Boulder High’s...
Photo source: Life.com For all you Colorado fans, you can’t seem to catch a break, unless of course we are talking about a broken fibula. As Thursday’s scrimmage was coming to a close, senior WR Scotty McKnight suffered an injury to his leg. The injury occurred when McKnight was making a sideline catch and was forced out of bounds. He apparently ran into one of the walls and railings that caused him to step awkwardly resulting in his injury....
It’s going to be awfully quite at the Hawkins house this Thanksgiving season. Apparently after Dan Hawkins continues his unsuccessful run as a head coach, he’s decided to indirectly blame his son for the Buffs’ woes and their 3-8 season In a nutshell, Hawkins spoke out to the media saying he regretted bringing his son Cody Hawkins into the program because it just didn’t work out. If he had to do it again, coach said he wouldn’t have recruited...
Cody Hawkins has been given every single chance to perform this season and–surprise surprise– has failed miserably. His coach and father continued to start Hawkins despite his terrible 2009 campaign. This season, Hawkins has an aplatry 1-4 record throwing 9 TDs and 9 INTs. For Colorado, nepotism was not such a bright idea. Even with a strong father-and-son bond, Coach Dan Hawkins has finally recognized that it’s time to move on. It looks like QB Tyler Hansen will start calling the shots from under center. During...
What did we learn in Week 2. First, I’m a big fan of nepotism, but there is a point when a coach has to pull his son out of the game. It is clear that Cody Hawkins is not a good QB and the Toledo defense exposed his lack of talent all night long. Even when down several scores in the 4th quarter, his dad kept him in the game. As a result, he may have suffered a concussion...
The Colorado Buffaloes continue to take hits. This time, WR Markques Simas (So. 6’2, 215 lbs.) has been suspended by the team. Simas is quick with great hands. He is projected to be the go-to guy this season as the WR position is extremely thin and inexperienced. Coach Dan Hawkins states the suspension is for violation of team rules. As of now, Simas will miss the first two games of the season against in-state rival Colorado State and then...
