[Husker] Hawkins Quote

>With all the talk recently about CU's Hawkins saying something to the 
effect of 'the worst day as a Buff is better than the best day as a 
Husker' (to paraphrase) has me thinking that this attitude is one of 
the reasons CU is one of the the laughing stocks of college football! I 
wonder if the boosters, alumni or even the administration there shares 
Hawkins' attitude? I'm sure recruits love to hear that stuff too, 
especially the week before a 37-14 loss.

I doubt I agree with that statement. Part of the job description for 
the HC (not related to the football) is maintaining a good relationship 
with the fans, media, and alumni. Teams need a rival, one that is hated 
above all others. Like it or not NU has been that rival for the Buffs. 
I would expect anyone not wearing Gold sunglasses would see that 
comment as a ploy to distract attention from a 2-9 record. 

I will be interested to see who gets B12 COTY. Prince at KSU, BC, & 
ATM coach Frat* are my guess to be the front runners. I think Prince 
gets it. The ATM coach went from likely fired to potential coach of the 
year.
