OMG! DAN HAWKINS!!!

[michigancat]

HOLY crap!

[michigancat]

Someone needs to find that effing audio.

[Huskerfan]

What's the story with Hawkins?

[jmlynch1]

HILARIOUS!

He basically just went ballistic when referring to a player who quit because their break wasn't long enough. Wow.

[michigancat]

Much funnier in audio form:

After his news conference, Hawkins became highly animated when asked about recent roster attrition. He said he received an anonymous letter from a player's parents who were "bummed out the boys" would get only two weeks off between the end of the spring semester and the beginning of summer conditioning. Building to crescendo that had him pound a table and leave his seat, Hawkins said if parents sought more vacation time for their sons, they might be at the wrong school. "This is Big 12, Division I football . . . it ain't intramurals," Hawkins said

First indication that perhaps the Hawkins elevator is not currently making stops at all floors?

If fatty does not produce video of this I will be highly disappointed.

Nah, he's always been a loon.

I think he went off during an ISU game interview this season, too.

[jmlynch1]

yeah, while he was running into the lockerroom.

[greasd up deaf guy]

Yea, just heard it on 810. You're right, Rusty, we need the audio.

[michigancat]

I don't have audio at work, but this looks right.

Awesome.

Would love to see the video of that.

"go play intramurals brutha"

[AzCat]

Nah, he's always been a loon.

Which makes him a perfect fit in Boulder.  No one sane would survive there.

[PurplePowerhouse]

OMG that's just too damned funny!!!     AND, he has a point.  Hell, I already like Hawkins more than Barnett.  Then again, I like mexican food-induced hershey squirts more than Barnett.

[catinthehat]

he was just playing to the crowd.  it aint like he grabbed an elederly woman at the gas station and started yelling at her.  I loved what he said though.  to bad the parent didn't have the guts to sign her name

[kougar24]

I would much rather have Prince than that psycho, especially since it looks like Boise's winning ways had nothing to do with Hawkins anyway.


"We're so close!!!! We're so close to being so dang good!!!!!"

"This is DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL!!!! This is the BIG 12!!!! A month??! That's probably more vacation than YOU GUYS get!!!!! Go play INTRAMURALS!!!!!!!"

[michigancat]

I'd rather have the crazy guy, myself.

Without the 2-10 record, of course.

[ksu_FAN]

Hawk's pregame speeches have to be a trip. 

And as someone wrote on the dailycamera site, you can tell how "volunteer" Hawk thinks these "volunteer workouts" are in the offseason.  Of course, any other coach would say the same thing, but probably not quite the same way.

[hemmy]

omg that was hilarious, i didn't think he would scream that loud

[Leyton]

Holy crap, dude.  I was NOT expecting him to transition from a normal voice to completely apecrap in a span of milliseconds.

[rlatta]

AWESOME.  CU players = pussies

[McGrowlTowelZac]

unreal, that was too funny, too funny

[Huskerfan]

It reminded me of those old SNL sketches where Will Ferrell would be completely normal one second and then just lose it the next. Good stuff.
