Life in the Red Group

Posted by: Islander/Husker on November 25, 2009 6:29PM CST I think he stays another year. He completes the contract and they don't have to do a buyout. Saves them some money. I don't think they would annouce a firing one day before the game.

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 25, 2009 6:35PM CST the contract goes through 2012 sheesh, and actually if they fired him after the game it would cost the school 2.2 million sheesh I was hoping they would burn the turkey

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 6:37PM CST The Scott Van Pelt Show said today that Hawkins was informed he would be back.

Posted by: Flopper on November 25, 2009 6:37PM CST I think Weis, Hawkins, Miles, Mangino all should keep their jobs. You have to start from scratch with a new coaching staff. I thought ISU should have kept McCarney. He had a couple of down years, but I don't think they would have been down for as long as they have if they would have kept him. Changing staffs to often is hard on a program, even in the NFL.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on November 25, 2009 6:44PM CST I think Weis is gone. The AD annouced that he canceled Weis's plan to recruit on the West Coast after the Stanford game. So I think he will be let go.

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 25, 2009 7:07PM CST steph Hawk made some kind of lame statement that he had been retained after the chancellor meeting the chancellors office denied that a decision had been made. Tomorrow is turkey day, I can hardly wait

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 7:10PM CST No doubt Weiss is gone. Thats just not good enough at Notre Dame. However... 3-8 is still plenty good for CU. So Hawkins will stay.

Posted by: HuskerzFL on November 25, 2009 7:11PM CST I hope Hawk does stay.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 7:15PM CST drive by))) Are you calling Dan Hawkins a liar?

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 25, 2009 7:16PM CST cali had 4 hawk had 4 the right decision needs to be made go bye bye birdie.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 7:17PM CST Whats the name of that pregnant chested girl?

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 25, 2009 7:22PM CST steph, perhaps I am. But at a minimum the bald one bon pelt will have to issue another apology for not checking on things. His commercial is perfect.."I'm embarresssssed. And by the way, it appears that mr. hawkins has told a few "fibs" along the way. I just figure that 16 and 32 means it would take him 4 years at 8 and 4 to get to 500. Not gonna happen with him in that position.

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 25, 2009 7:29PM CST steph here is the latest Sources have confirmed that University of Colorado Athletic Director Mike Bohn has heard enough and is not happy with Head Coach Dan Hawkins releases agreement information to the media. We have been told Bohn will make an "an official announcement about the football coaching situation" Thursday after meeting with Hawkins tomorrow. Our source confirmed that Bohn has moved the Monday meeting to tomorrow to put an end to this.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 7:32PM CST But... Scott Van Pelt... said he was coming back. SVP knows more than the CU AD.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on November 25, 2009 7:34PM CST dbp - an end to what, the speculation, or that he is going to end Hawkins tenure? I just can't see them letting him go on the eve of their last game. Could be wrong though.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 7:38PM CST drive by))) Don't you live in Colorado? It's pretty nice up there isn't it? I might come on up there and stay with you for about 7 or 8 months. That cool?

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 25, 2009 7:39PM CST IH, the whole dang thing is a mess and has been for just about 2 years. sheesh And I like them thar buffs. the rumor is he has not even been around practice much this week. And he made some bonehead statement that Kasa, a 5 star freshman who got hurt and then sick, was gonna play friday. And Kasa said no way and that he hadn't even been practicing and was working on a medical redshirt. Boulder is such a silly place

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 25, 2009 7:41PM CST raz, i can get you a good rate in blackhawk

Posted by: Islander/Husker on November 25, 2009 7:45PM CST Thanks dbp. Yeah I know it has been messy there for sure. How do you think it will end up?

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 25, 2009 7:49PM CST A couple of days ago, I was sure he was gone. And that all changed today based on these press leaks by hawkins and some stuff in the paper. But it truely is indicative of the state of buff football. It is a real shame actually, a real shame. It is worse than the cali era as at least he won some games. This guy appears clueless The buffs don't deserve him any more than the corn deserved cali sheesh, more beer

Posted by: Islander/Husker on November 25, 2009 7:50PM CST What's interesting to me is that over in Kansas, where Mangino is getting some heat, many of his current players are backing him up and wanting him to stay. Down in Buff land many players are non-committal. Plus McCartney gave them a pep talk Sunday. He thinks the players will be fired up. But you wonder. Maybe they will be asking McCartney to come back like Snyder at K-State, to right the ship.

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 7:51PM CST Happy Turkey Eve guys. Can't tell you how nice it is to have Thanksgiving in the states. I has been a few years since I was overseas but I do appreicate being able to be at home.

Posted by: PT Husker on November 25, 2009 7:58PM CST I agree with someone above. He is staying. If not there would be no announcement the day before a game. hate to see what is going on happen to any program.

Posted by: PT Husker on November 25, 2009 7:59PM CST Another interesting rumor, Miles to Notre Dame.

Posted by: TX_Husker on November 25, 2009 8:06PM CST Hawkins will be cut, before or after the game is redundant. The bigger question is if Watson will persue CU's interest in him for head coach.

Posted by: PT Husker on November 25, 2009 8:07PM CST Happy thanksgiving all. Do you ralize that if the Pilgrems would have chosen Donkey instead of turkey we would all get a piece of A** tomorrow,

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 25, 2009 8:09PM CST DBP Can you really say it would be better without Hawkins? I mean there is a lot of talent there it's just very young......you of all people know that he walked into a complete mess.

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 8:12PM CST Oh PT, Thats so wrong You never know there might be some eating arse tomorrow. Low?

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 25, 2009 8:16PM CST No I think I will keep it traditional...Turkey....

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 8:19PM CST It would be nice if you shared your coffee brine mixture I googled it but found nothing

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 25, 2009 8:22PM CST If you're serious I'll send it to you?

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 8:25PM CST oh yeah I am. I can send you a email with my email address

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 25, 2009 8:37PM CST Nish Check your mail!

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 8:43PM CST Low Tango Yankee. Sounds good. GF works for Starbucks so I will have fun with this, I have my choice of beans.

Posted by: BrianSm on November 25, 2009 8:45PM CST The Buffs have such a pathetic group of rainy day alums and boosters, I doubt they could raise anywhere close to the 3 million it would take to buy Hawkins out. If he stays, it means they can't come up with the cash. I like Hawkins and don't wish him any harm. You can tell this has been a really rough year for him, he looks like he has lost a lot of weight. He kind of offsets our portly pal down south.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 25, 2009 8:48PM CST Nish I lean towards a spicy taste but if you don't back off the chili and Cayenne it won't change the flavor. If you can find a hard wood like Pecan it is amazing!

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 8:50PM CST You mean... you guys don't have donkey arse for Thanksgiving dinner?

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 8:51PM CST where can you find Pecan? I stated before I use to buy my wood at Barbquesgalorie but they went out of business. I have looked into buying wood on line but that so expensive. Right now all I can find is Hickory and Mesquite.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 8:51PM CST drive by))) I don't wanna good rate. I wanna stay at your house. It's only 7 months.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 25, 2009 8:52PM CST Step True story....when I was in the war I had camel for Christmas dinner......yum yum!

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 8:53PM CST Nish))) You can find pecan in my backyard.

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 8:53PM CST eww, Had sheep brain but it wasn't for dinner of anything special

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 25, 2009 8:56PM CST Nish This is a little unorthordoxed but you could probably just take the actual pecans and put them in the burn pit they will give off the same flavor as the pecan wood. Walmart sells those cast iron boxes for gas grills you could substitute the wood chips for pecans.

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 9:00PM CST thats and idea, I use a wood smoker but I could put the pecans in there

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 9:00PM CST Camel was on the menu in Morocco. I didn't try it tho. Arabs have been eating Camels for thousands of years.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 25, 2009 9:04PM CST Step Best steaks I had while I was over there...it was the only ones too.

Posted by: Mountainman@ on November 25, 2009 9:04PM CST Any thinking Husker fan would want Hawkins to stay. Who knows who you might get instead? You want Turner Gill there? Or the DC from Texas? They probably would get one of the young bright guys from Texas with strong recruiting ties there. That would not be helpful to the Huskers at all.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 9:05PM CST QB Ryan Mallett of Arkansas... formerly of Michigan... has an 11.6 YPA. Thats incredible.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 9:06PM CST Everybody(except CU fans) wants Hawkins to stay. No doubt about that.

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 9:08PM CST I hate to think some of the things I did eat, buying the stuff of the streets in Turkey

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 25, 2009 9:08PM CST I think they need to offer him an extension I haven't heard of any inmoral coduct by the program since he took over and that is miles from where he began!

Posted by: Mountainman@ on November 25, 2009 9:09PM CST What about that hot DL from Portland, OR that came in for the K-State game. Any chance of getting him? Some pundits were comparing him to Suh.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 25, 2009 9:11PM CST well I need to get to bed lots of cooking early tomorrow....Night all

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 9:12PM CST While we are at it.... there is an old Bedouin joke. They tell people that a Camels nads are a delicacy... then the person eats them... and supposedly they are the nastiest thing you can put in your mouth. Which isn't all that surprising. I saw some guy tricked into eating them. The guy was none too happy. But those Bedouin desert rats thought it was hilarious though. They tried to get me to eat them... I told them... The StepRaZor don't eat nads. Period.

Posted by: BrianSm on November 25, 2009 9:12PM CST Hawkins is a good offensive guy. His downfall has been on the defensive side of the ball. I don't think CU has the money to buy him out and given the lack of support CU has, the job won't attract a lot of interest from top shelf coaching propects. Plus, Hawkins is not making a lot of money, again because of the lack of funds.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 9:15PM CST Odighizuwa will visit Florida this weekend... and USC the next. Then he will decide. He did say that Nebraska will have a hat on the table when he makes it official. So... we got that going for us.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 9:22PM CST Nish))) The correct way to smoke is... low and slow. 250 degrees... all day... and as was stated before... hard wood.

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 9:24PM CST Step, I understand that concept. My smoker has a water pan to keep the temp down and increase the flavor Just hard to get good wood in Vegas since Barbquegalore went out of business I don't smoke no Camel though I have smoke some arse, but thats another story

Posted by: BlackshirtBeado on November 25, 2009 9:24PM CST Sportsnightly (1400 AM Lincoln) Had Hawkins on tonight, and apparently he's coming back God I hope so, the trainwreck down in Boulder has just been fantastic to watch. Nice guy or not, He said the Worst days as a Buff was better than the Best days as a Husker. He's run that program into the ground worse than Callasatan ran ours into the ground. We're back, and still have a dump truck full of trophies, and Hawks is back, and still looking to dig the hole deeper HAHAHAHA looks like the worst days as a Buff are about as bad as it gets in college football PERIOD

Posted by: BlackshirtBeado on November 25, 2009 9:26PM CST Is this a friggin recipe post? MansGame People Colorado in 1 1/2 days FOCUS!

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 9:30PM CST Husker fans are very diverse. We can discuss almost anything, including football. Step has some great stories regarding midgets.

Posted by: BlackshirtBeado on November 25, 2009 9:33PM CST Nish, I understand. anyother week, and I would say midgets should get the majority of attention. I mean I occassionally enjoy tossing them But I want to smoke the Buffs

Posted by: BlackshirtBeado on November 25, 2009 9:35PM CST Like the KSU midget Banks, and Lil' HawksLove

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 9:35PM CST lol, Got ya Backshirt, Man College football is crazy this year. I'm sure glad the Husker are finally back on track. Boy we had it good all those years.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 9:44PM CST Nish))) You can probably get some shipped for about $800... plus the price of the wood. lol

Posted by: BlackshirtBeado on November 25, 2009 9:45PM CST whats crazier than the actual play of college football this year, is the overwhelming ineptitude of the AP Poll. I bet midgets could handicap better than these current AP polltroons (Sip Excluded of course)

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 9:47PM CST Step, Thats if I go by regular mail Honest you can buy wood online. They will waive the shipping if I buy 500 pounds. The mail man wont be happy.

Posted by: BlackshirtBeado on November 25, 2009 9:48PM CST Step, Midgets for $800, plus wood??? (slaps Knee) WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEE Thas a mighty good deal (we cookin' midgets Friday, or something?)

Posted by: Outside The Box on November 25, 2009 9:50PM CST If Hawk comes back, it means one of three things: 1) CU and their big boosters in Boulder don't have the money to buy out Hawk. 2) The boosters have the money, but don't care enough to buy out Hawk. 3) The CU administration believes Hawk can turn it around and be successful. I don't see an answer in the list that makes CU look good here.

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 9:51PM CST midget cooking now thats just sick. I draw the line at throwing a one midget into a pile ofo another midgets. Step, Didn't you use to go some place to pickup ugly midgets and fight all the men of the town?

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 9:53PM CST One of my many ventures is... I own the only mealworm farm in Texas. Pump out about 4 million worms every 4 days. Anyways... if I ship 400,000 worms... it runs the people I ship to about $300 bucks.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 9:55PM CST Nish))) You know... my wife caught me with that midget girl you hooked me up with. My wife said... "I thought you were gonna quit cheating on me!" I said... "Can't you see I'm trying to cut down!"

Posted by: BlackshirtBeado on November 25, 2009 9:57PM CST hmmmmmmmmm, So mealworms are ok? Midget cooking is bad? And boosters at CU are infantile? Have I got this right?

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 9:57PM CST I wonder if midgets have regular people jokes?

Posted by: BlackshirtBeado on November 25, 2009 9:58PM CST oh, and Step is cutting back with wee midget hookups?

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 10:00PM CST Mealworms don't taste too bad. 57% protein also. Some countries munch them down. Those are the countries without a Wal Mart mind you. And I messed that post up. 4 million worms every 8 days.... is what I meant. 2 million every 4 days.

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 10:01PM CST Im afraid to ask what the mealworms are for. Step, What can I say you told me you just wanted to get a little. Jeez one midget set up and I have to hear about it for every. Did you ever get your step stool back?

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 10:04PM CST Step stool. Thats pretty funny. Thats actually funny you brought that up. I don't use step stools for sex. I use camel saddles... and I am serious about that. I got a camel saddle one time from my aunt that went somewhere for vacation. Been using that thing for years. It's perfect.

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 10:06PM CST I'm afraid to ask why your aunt had a camel saddle?

Posted by: BlackshirtBeado on November 25, 2009 10:08PM CST wow Step Now thats bringing the heat Gotta be up out this sizzle ' You crazy, midget lovin' mealworm somethin' ruther. camel saddlin' kids behave, and have a great turkey day GO BIG BEADO!, (and the 'Skers)

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 10:11PM CST Yeah, I got to put sometime in myself. GF rented a bunch of movies and has that look. Time to go throw my man card in the toliet so I can watch football for the next 3-4 days

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 25, 2009 10:12PM CST Some person stated earlier in this thread of perhaps Watson coming south to figure out his offense. In the spirit of the holidays, I no longer state my official view of said coach. But, I, for one, do not want him south of Missouri or east of Texas, i.e. SEC land. Sheesh, we've got enough stinking fish in town as it is.

Posted by: NishBigRed on November 25, 2009 10:13PM CST Holy Cow, Busie from the top rope. Miles to ND and Wats to LSU? no?

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 10:18PM CST I sell mealworms to Zoos, aquariums and bat and bird rehabs. You see... it's out there.. you just have to be smart enough to find it. I knew from years ago that mealworms were easy to grow.... bu I didn't have anybody to sell them to. When I found out how much the shipping was... and that there was not another farm in Texas.... I knew I could take everything in Texas... by simply saving them the cost of shipping. Total cost of a 4,000' building and all the bins and shelving was about 14 large. I made that back instantly. And the only overhead is gas for delivery... a bunch of workers from Honduras... 200 pounds of carrots... and 400 pounds of grain every week. Some day... somebody else will do it. And there will be a serious bidding war. I won't be able to do it forever. But whatever... I already made more cash than I thought I could.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 25, 2009 10:19PM CST If Watson comes here, I will offficially declare myself a Gump. I wish him well wherever he stays or lands. Long as it's far, far away.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 25, 2009 10:22PM CST Step, do you still have all those snakes?

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 10:22PM CST I met this guy from Philly... he did the same thing I did... with potato chips. He lives in San Antonio now. He's the only distributor of these certain types of potato chips in Texas. He's making a killing.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on November 25, 2009 10:23PM CST Busie, what do think of the idea of Miles jumping the ND? I don't think that will happen, but stranger things of taken place. Are the natives still restless?

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 10:25PM CST Oh yeah. Always getting new snakes. Still have the old ones. I make some cash breeding them also. But the big cash with snakes is their venom. Per weight... it's worth more than gold. The thing is... it ain't all that easy getting it out of them.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 25, 2009 10:27PM CST I don't know Islander. Rumors are rampant; even to the point of a total housecleaning of the OC, DC, and HC. The natives are not restless; they're hitting manic about now. Papers, tv, radio, blogs, somebody even put up a big sign out by the university that said. "Reckon Michigan still wants him". It is not pretty and will only hurt the program and recruiting.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 10:30PM CST They wanna get rid of The Chief already? I thought LSU's D looked pretty good this year. Certainly better than last years.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on November 25, 2009 10:32PM CST Busie, the Tigers OC has not exactly set the world on fire. Watson might even be an upgrade (smile). A Hawkins thread has over 90 posts. That's an amazing stat on thanksgiving eve. The good wife and I are going to have a very quiet day at home tomorrow. But Friday, we are having a houseful. My two daughters and their families. Plus my future son-in-law's parents. So a good dinner, Husker football, and an evening of playing pitch. Should be a great day.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 10:33PM CST Alright guys. I'm outski. Merry Thanksgiving to each and all! Unless you are a CU fan.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 25, 2009 10:33PM CST Step, I could politic and go on for several paragraphs, but our defense has been lacking since Bo left. There, I said it. Oh Bo, would you please come home lol

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 10:34PM CST I actually like Gary Crowton ok.

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on November 25, 2009 10:37PM CST LSU))) No doubt about that. LSU's D has slipped since Bo left. Hey... you guys should steal coach JP from us to be your DC. He was on the LSU staff when Bo was there. He's also our best recruiter.

Posted by: Busiekcreek on November 25, 2009 10:39PM CST Islander, May your Friday be all that you hoped for. We are so blessed, we are alive and free thanks to those like Big Red Jay and others Gotta go, got a lot cooking I'm having to keep track of. God bless you real good as Billy Graham used to say back in the day. Nite All

Posted by: Islander/Husker on November 25, 2009 10:48PM CST Busie, you can't have Bo back, he now belongs to the Huskers.

Posted by: Doc_Husker on November 25, 2009 11:22PM CST For the love of all things Holy everyone. I am sick and tired of reading people's comments about Watson's offense. He's forgot more about offense than any of you will ever know. This offense was just fine in 2008 when we scored 40 a game. Enough with the instant gratification. When will people learn that the experience of Ganz, Swift, and Peterson was very valuable?

Posted by: Drinkin' Wit' Terrell Farley on November 26, 2009 12:09AM CST Say it louder Doc_Husker, you are making too much sense for this post though I want Watson to stay, he's a great coach and recruiter, however if he left for a head coaching job, Mike Sanford, the former UNLV coach, or even better, Dirk Koetter, the OC for the Jaguars would be a fantastic pick-up if he wants to return to the college game

Posted by: Guido on November 26, 2009 2:19AM CST Get the signs ready for Friday! HUSKERS FOR HAWKINS! HUSKERS FOR HAWKINS! HUSKERS FOR HAWKINS! HUSKERS FOR HAWKINS! HUSKERS FOR HAWKINS! HUSKERS FOR HAWKINS! HUSKERS FOR HAWKINS! HUSKERS FOR HAWKINS! HUSKERS FOR HAWKINS! HUSKERS FOR HAWKINS! HUSKERS FOR HAWKINS! HUSKERS FOR HAWKINS! :)

Posted by: Snarky The Lurker on November 26, 2009 3:09AM CST Hawkins is back for fifth season. http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_13871077 happy turkey day all!

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 26, 2009 8:13AM CST happy turkey day. Looks like the turkey is surviving in boulder today. Sorry the corn will not survive tomorrow. Anyway there is more than enough committed cash from alums to buy him out. The chancellor fellow happens to be a hawk fan, and even if the weak-kneed bohn decided to get rid of him it would be over-ridden by the pinhead. Anyway, again happy turkey day. corn will have to be at its very best to win in boulder. I am not expecting that to happen. raz, we have a trailer out back of our trailer where you would probably fell right at home. Lets play some football. PT, Which mall will you be at tomorrow?

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 26, 2009 8:26AM CST hey no no A depressing day in buffville

Posted by: RockHusker on November 26, 2009 8:47AM CST I didn't think they would can the Hawk. Too expensive in this economy.

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 26, 2009 8:51AM CST I may have to break out the leaf today. I am about as pissed as the day I learned my nam tour would be extended 6 months

Posted by: RockHusker on November 26, 2009 8:58AM CST Hey any day is a good day to break out some leaf..... right RaZor

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 26, 2009 8:59AM CST No No You're not the only ones on here but it's pretty close. I spent many of my childhood summers in Sidney and Potter....went to Julesburg alot too. DBP Sorry it's not working out the way you hoped for....maybe he can get this team to rebound to success next year.

Posted by: Low Country Husker on November 26, 2009 9:05AM CST No No How can you say a defense that holds every team to less than 350 yards is average?

Posted by: drivebyposter on November 26, 2009 9:15AM CST Okay Happy Thanksgiving all.

Posted by: RedDog77 on November 26, 2009 9:17AM CST Happy Thanksgiving to all. GO BIG RED!!!

Posted by: PT Husker on November 26, 2009 9:26AM CST Morning Anybody. DBP No malls for me thank God. Xmas light time tomorrow and Saturday. Maybe some of Sunday as well. Hope for a good game tomorrow. If each team plays to its ability it should be fun. Mistakes will be critical and each has a propensity for that. Buffs could be inspired by the news about Hawkins. Go Big Red.
