Dan Hawkins is Confident, Delusional

Colorado head football coach Dan Hawkins is apparently being affected by the pot smokers atmosphere in Boulder because he recently guaranteed a 10 win season for the Buffs in 2009.  Playing in the Big 12 north hasn’t been much of an obstacle recently, but keep in mind no one won 10 games this year, and Colorado hasn’t hit double digit victories since 2001. 

So Hawk, how do you plan to break out of an 8 year slump?  Continue running the Nepotism formation?  Maybe go back to that female kicker since that really put Boulder on the map?  Is your old buddy Jared Zabransky still eligible for a transfer? 

Colorado fans are the first to point out that injuries decimated their team this year, and I’ll admit that’s true.  Instead of that 5-7 season, you should be living it up with 6 wins at the This Sponsor Filed Chapter 11 Texas Bowl. 

There are some scenarios, however, where 10 wins becomes likely:

A “We Are Marshall” situation at Nebraska… and Texas.

The strippers you’re no longer allowed to give recruits resurface in Gary Pinkel’s trunk.

Bill Snyder comes back to coach K-State.  Wait.
