There has been a lot of talk on sports radio about getting to the top contributors about buying out his contract and that CU doesn't have the deep pockets of a Texas or USC.

Don't know if the talking heads know anything more than the rest of us.

I imagine it is the best thing for CU if Hawkins leaves.

:spock: The boosters can't come up with his contract? How much is he getting paid?!

Not sure, but I thought they I heard they are still paying Barnett.

KU should be able to whoop up on CU. Then again, I thought KU was gonna whoop ISU last week. Its obvious that KU played like crap on defense last week and for a lot of the game against So. Miss. CU has been known to play well in Boulder. I'm hoping we can overcome that. CU is not very good this year, but they were ahead of Texas at halftime last week. There are no guarantees.

Mangino talked this week as if the coaches were giving their defensive players too much information. Talked about simplifying things. I hope that is the case. This defense looked good early on (albeit against lesser competition) but has looked crappy as of late. Hopefully, they will get it turned around. Mangino had to take an active role last year to help the defense. If this becomes a pattern, we may need a new DC.

The defense hasn't been very good since Young left. Now he as come back to Oklahoma State.

BS! Everyone talks about Young leaving, but I don't buy it. That 2006 defense sucked. At least as far as pass defense. They still need talent.

OU is most likely going to spank KU down next weekend...

Defense was really good for OU. We'll see if our OL is worth a shit. My guess is no. In order to win, I think KU has to force a couple turnovers and make the tackles in space. The freshman made a few mistakes today.

Lets worry 'bout CU first.

What channel is this game on?

I think I get it on 656.

That looks right.

I think the OL is talented this year. Sure, they lack experience, but they are athletic. But they have not see a defense like OU's. Should be a good test next week. But let's try to get out of Boulder this week unscathed.

Fox Sports Midwest. 414 on Dish Network. Don't know what it is on Directv.
