OK, I will Shut up until Friday night.
I was calming down and ready to give him a couple more games to see what happens. After that radio show, I'm convinced he needs to go. Wow..
OK, I will Shut up until Friday night.

:lol:My silence will not quell the reality of the situation if he loses Friday night. But I will tone down my anger until OOC is
over.
His answer about stepping up and being fans was good. "Not your fathers Buffs. Laying the grounds for long-term success, I expect you to be there in the stands and demand we win every game, booing and saying derogatory things to players doesnt help. Lets not settle down, lets not make excuses, lets expect the best. BUT, we have to ALL do our part. We're going to win, we arent perfect. All the bantering does is hurt the program" etc, etc. If he wins 7 or 8 this year, its not popular to say, but, Im on board. Think that answer is EXACTLY right.
You serious it was that bad?
:lol:
you lasted 3 whole minutes
We were in the stands well before you got here, and will be long after you Hawk. Many of us have stuck up for you and the job you've done so far, despite the 13-25 record. We don't demand you win every game, but we do demand you quit blowing smoke up our ass. issed3:
That just shattered my world. :smile2:He comes off as smug.
I don't know it was THAT bad. I was maybe hoping for more humility, I think.

He completely ignored the question about DS's injury status because the caller used the word 'internet'. Still no explanation as to why he said DS was nicked and Hagan said DS was fine.
He did say, at least I heard, that he's happy if the punt returner catches the ball. That returns are a bonus, and really, because of the rules, we shouldn't expect returns.
Usual answer about Cody and Hansen.
Finished up with a good/bad rant. Good in that he called for support from the fans, and rightfully so, shouldn't be booing and insulting the players. What bothered me was the "we're building a foundation" statement. He's 4 years in, there better be a foundation in place, and we better start seeing something Friday.
Also the "we're not your fathers buffs" I kind of took that as laying the basis for an excuse. If the team is losing scholarships because of APR problems, it falls directly on him as HC. Others took that as pushing a realization on people. Kind of open to interpretation though.
Last thing regarding the radio show....the game wasnt sold out??? I literally thought they messed up and sold like 60,000 seats. People in the aisles, sitting on stairs?? If there were seats left, I dont know where.

:huh: I don't envy the next 12 months for you fans.
That just shattered my world. :smile2:
I noted this, along with other people here, that Hawkins is tired of dealing with the media. I mean really tired of it, and he's isn't doing a good job of hiding it these days. It's been like this since spring ball. jmho.LOL I'm out in Cali, I usually just read the transcripts. His tone and hearing him speak really drive home the smigness I've heard about.

I'm sure most college football coaches share Hawks opinion about call in radio shows. I mean come on. Have you heard some of the questions this guy has heard over the years?

I'm sure Hawkins could care less what the fans think. It's his job to get his team ready to play. You know what I mean?What amazes me is he acts like fans are supposed to go "oh well, we're building for long term success, if we win so be it if not ho-hum".
Some questions are lame but he better find some rah rah because his bend over approach isn't working.

it is hawkins job to deal with the media.
just like it is hawkins job to work the officials when one of his guys is laid out on the field from a helmet to helmet hit.
hawk needs to show some ****ing emotion on the sidelines.
hawk needs to become a warrior just like he preaches.
this ain't ****ing intramurals brutha...this is the ****ing big xii...
:sad2:
Yup. Hawkins needs to show us something on Friday. Not just a win, but he needs to slaughter Toledo. But I really don't see that happening.And there-in lies the rub!
All this talk about emotions would some how change our views on Hawkins is funny to me. If he was yelling at the top of his lungs and storming around, all the people here would talk about how "Hawk can't handle the pressure" and "Hawk looks like a fool out there". Please.
