Is Hawkins running the Buffs into the ground?

Here is the problem with the Scott stuff. I can only report what he says. I do think he has had discussions about rejoining the program, and I would not rule it out as a possibility at this point. Where there is smoke... I was hearing all the same stuff but didn't have anyone willing to go on the record or source me on it. ...But, then again, what he said to me was pretty definitive. It's really sort of a joke. This kid has gotten more ink and airtime than any guy with 95 yards rushing ever!

I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at UCLA, Cal, or Arizona State

Colorado possibly joining the PAC-10? Texas getting calls from the Big-10 about possibly joining their Conference? What the hell is going on?

[Buff]

Texas isn't going anywhere... But the Pac-10 expansion has been rumored for a number of years... Sounds like it's finally getting some legs.

If the Pac 10 does want to expand the only logical teams would be Utah/BYU and maybe Boise St/another team could join the MWC. Like Buff said, Boise St isn't qualified and Orangehoof in another thread gave the reason!!

It does seem geographically ridiculous for Tex to go to the Big 10 and CU to go to the Pac 10!!

Just seems a little too extreme IMO.

The Buffs suck.

That is all.

In the article I posted that CBS4 had on line, it said that they would talk to the players to see if they wanted Scott back. Here is Vic's latest:

Got a fresh new commentary on the Curious Case of Darrell Scott. Do his teammates really want him back? More tonight on CBS4 News at 10.

He did talk about this last night, and it sounds like possibly the players do not want Scott back.

I doubt any players want him back the way he ran out on the team like he did... And I don't blame them. But, you also have to keep in mind that he's essentially a young kid who makes bad decisions--so I don't think the decision should be left up to other immature kids who make bad decisions.

I agree - the Buffs need him, and he may have a totally different outlook now.

the first bad decision for Darrell Scott?

when he chose CU over TexASS. Hawkins has to be the worst playcaller in the nation.

JFC It's always something...

CU Buffs WR Markques Simas suspended
Junior was second on team last season in receptions
Posted: 02/12/2010 11:45:54 AM MST

Colorado football coach Dan Hawkins announced Friday morning that junior-to-be wide receiver Markques Simas has been suspended indefinitely for violating team rules.

A press release issued by the athletic department said athletic director Mike Bohn approved of the suspension.

"This is obviously disappointing, but we are going to continue to emphasize our philosophy of excellence with class and we will uphold our standards," Hawkins said.

Simas missed the 2007 season as a redshirt, and was then academically ineligible for 2008. He finally saw the field for the first time last fall in CU's 24-0 win over Wyoming. He secured a starting position and finished second on the team 43 receptions for 575 yards and three touchdowns.
