Some big names from the past have addressed the team in recent days. Monday, it was Kanavis McGhee’s turn.
“He was just talking about his passion for CU and what it means to be a Buff and how our priority is to beat Nebraska,” defensive lineman Taj Kaynor said. “I really connected with him on that, and I feel the same way.” Former coach Bill McCartney spoke Sunday.
“He told us (Nebraska) was a game we have to be ready for,” tailback Rodney Stewart said. “It’s our rival. It was one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard.” Safety Ben Burney said McCartney’s message was simple: Beat Nebraska. “Having him talking and pointing us out and calling us out and stuff like that, that’s something you rarely get. It makes you pinpoint and focus,” Burney said.

Hmmm, rarely get pointed out and called out, under Hawkins? I am aghast. Somebody get Kanavis a juicebox...STAT.
