You are the only one old enough to remember who Alex English is! As a former Houston Rocket fan (lost interest in the NBA long ago), I used to love the Rocket-Nugget games. There were some classic one. Hanzlik used to freakin kill Ralph Sampson. He'd get in his head during the first 2 minutes of the game and Ralph was useless. Hakeem was unstoppable back then, though.

I was there the night Hanzlik pissed Olajuwon off so badly he took a swing at him and got tossed. One of the few times Hakeem lost his cool.

I don't remember the Olajuwon incident but I remember hanzlik pissing off Sampson and Sampson took a swing at him and connected on Hanzlik's jaw. And I'm pretty sure that game was in Houston.

On CFN after the game I heard Hawk say, "I (or maybe we) appreciate you fans more than you know." He didn't say anything about colors fans wore that I heard, but I was listening to broadcast KOA in Grand Junction so I could have missed it. Our local station carried a HS game!!! I have to figure out who to bitch to before next week.

I grew up in GJ and Buffs games have always been hard to get for some reason.
 
Here's a guy who's 3-6 and he's taking shots at a group of fans that have the audacity to point out that he's the worst coach at CU since Fairbanks?

Brilliant move, dumbass. :rolleyes:

f Houston. They stole the Denver Rockets nickname. Spencer Haywood, baby! He won rookie of the year and mvp at 21, then broke the NBA's rule of having to wait for his class to graduate when he moved on to the Supersonics.

Fat was part of an incredible team from ASU that included Byron Scott and Alton Lister. They used to beat up on UA...

:yeahthat:

I saw tons of great buff fans there today. Some were.in black and gold, some were in blue. None of them was a buff only because they were being paid a million dollars a year to be there.

If a coach is not working for their alma mater, they really sound like ****ing tools questioning the fandom of people who put heart and soul into a program they would walk away from in a second if a single paycheck bounced.

I care that the players were unhappy about the powder blue. Hawk? Not so much.

why do you say that ?
It sure was noticed by Bohn and certainly got under Hawk's thin skin.

But I thought it WAS kind of lame that most of the powder blue shirts I saw were Denver Nugget jerseys. At the very least, someone could have made powder blue shirts with some sort of quote on it and sold 'em for $10 a pop.

What would a cool quote hae said?

"I'm holding my breath until I turn blue or Hawk is gone!"

T-shirts with the slogan " Fairbanks and Hawk the legacy of Powder Puff Blue a tradition that is fitting of you two."

You know what? If the sky blue shirts were what it took to piss off the team and unite it, then kudos to everyone that wore one.

Gotta win in Ames next week, Hawk, or this win won't mean much. Buffalo up!

I orginally was against the blue protest but if it's getting to Hawkins, then go for it...everyone should wear blue.

He's a total dip****. And now he has his players saying the same thing, ie. Tyler Hansen. He missed the whole point that the fans support the team but not the coach.

I guess the fans in the stands need some BIG SIGNS to say what they want to say because otherwise, it gets twisted.
 
Gateway said:
Yeah...the fans definitely need to take it to the next level...not just some old, faded blue t-shirt but something that means something.

seriously. that **** was tame and it got one hell of a reaction. As far as time spent on organization to effect, it has got to be one of the most efficient protests of all time :lol:
 
Gotta disagree. The AD has spent all of it's time attacking the fans who wear blue as opposed to addressing the reasons the fans did it in the first place.

Not so much Bohn, who is clearly not happy with it, but outwardly says he appreciates the passion of the people who participated, but with morons like Plati (and yes, I just called Plati a moron) and Hawkins, who clearly have their heads crammed too far up their asses to understand what this was all about to begin with.

Just in case either one of them is trolling - We wore blue because the product on the field is reminiscent of Chuck Fairbanks. Hawk has lost twice as many games as he's won. We can either stay at home or let you know that we're pissed. Which would you prefer?

I know I don't want Black and Gold to represent the color of repressed honesty.
