CU's Dan Hawkins on booing
Asked this week about his reaction to home fans at Nebraska and Arkansas booing their teams, Colorado coach Dan Hawkins had a interesting take.
While Hawkins said he could certainly understand the argument that if someone pays for a ticket, they can say or do about anything they want inside the stadium, he doesn't neccessarily agree with that.
"At some point, we have to have a little poise," Hawkins said during Monday's Big 12 Conference coaches' media call. "At some point, we have to have a little class and remember what the whole thing's about,” Hawkins said. “It's probably part of the nature of the whole beast, but shoot, if you're not happy with what's going on, don't come to the game or leave.
“I understand that sometimes that those values are a little old-fashioned and people don't take those to the ballpark anymore."

Wow! A CU coach accusing Nebraska fans on having poor values. Hang on, I have to go catch the pig flying by my window. Thanks Dan Hawkins for putting all those "so-called) Husker fans in their place.
Go Big Red!
Go Big Red!
HA! I remember the Huskers coming to Boulder two years ago and we worked them over pretty hard, final score was 30-3. The CU fans were SO bad they were throwing trash on the field and the officials had to stop the game. I wonder if Dan Hawkins knew that the CU fan base had a legendary tradition of poor sportsmanship and being bad losers prior to taking the job. Glass houses Dan, glass houses.
By the way, I live in Denver and know CU fans who admit they're poor sports.
