Dan Hawkins is an interesting dude

Okay, forgive me for lying about the “stronger than ever” part of that last post about the weekend off. I’ve been consumed largely by schoolwork, the occasional article for the DA, Halo 3 the occasional moment of recreation, and I’ve neglected the blog. I’m sorry.

I’ll do my level best to make up for it today, on a WVU game day. Look for another post previewing the game with my prediction later, and then, I’ll be live blogging the game (while also trying to write a column for tomorrow’s DA). All the while, I should be studying for a massive test I have tomorrow and finishing a project for another class, but I make sacrifices on game days.

For our first post of the day, I present to you a picture of perhaps the most interesting coach I’ve ever read about in any sport. Of course, almost everyone knows Dan Hawkins for his ubiquitous rant. But the Colorado coach is apparently more complex than just one tirade over players’ parents.

Check out this exceptional feature story on Hawkins from 5280, a local Denver-area magazine. Kudos to Mike Casazza of the Charleston Daily Mail for finding this. I would provide a run-down of the highlights of the story, but there are just too many interesting bits to even try to pin down the best ones. Read the story and come up with your own conclusions, then post some comments on the story here.

    If you ever want to play some video games that you never have time for, Pat, my gamertag on Xbox Live is DJ 4 WVU.
