    I loved it when the reporter asked "did you win, coach?"

    In retrospect, that was an unneeded snotty response by me. I apologize. I just have this pet peeve about pro wrestling being clumped in with real sports.

    Apology accepted, although I dare you to tell David Schultz about that pet peeve.

    It's still real to him, dammit.

    Hawkins took a knee for about four seasons at CU.

    I covered the 2007 Independence Bowl, where Hawkins coached against Nick Saban. The two head coaches' personalities were about as divergent as you can get.

    I think Saban gets a bad rap sometimes, but even if you're being generous, you'd admit he can't take a joke and he can't really tell one. Hawkins was all laughs all the time.

    I guess that's part of why one guy is in the Top 5 every year and the other is coaching in Sweden.

    I met Hawkins when he was at Boise. I thought he was going to do a great job at CU.

    I'll never understand what happened there.

    It's hard to destroy a program.

    You get sucked down a YouTube rabbit hole with every new video.

    The "I have failed you" reminds me of R. Lee Ermey's donut scene with Pyle.

    On the flipside, this late-career Bobby Bowden pre-game speech leaves a lot to be desired. He's reading his inspirational comments from a sheet of paper as the players try to keep a straight face:
