Hawkins man, Hawkins (CU vs. CSU)

September 6th. Sunday night. 5:00 PM MST. Kickoff of the Rocky Mountain Showdown. CU vs. CSU. The Hippies vs. The Hicks. In-State rivals. As you can see, on the right at the bottom of the post, the Colorado Buffaloes hold a large advantage in the rivalry. 58 wins for the Colorado Buffaloes vs. 19 wins for the Colorado State Rams. For the most part the Buffaloes have always had the better team.
But this time it was different. Right from the get-go the CSU Rams showed poise and complete dominance with every faucet of the game, mostly their passing attack. Every pass the CSU QB threw deep was either caught for a long gain/a score/or a perfect pass that the receive just drops. Every deep ball got behind out CU Secondary. It didnt look like the CU CB/SS/FS were messing up with their defensive schemes. They were just flat out, out-hustled, so it seemed.
On to our offense, We could not get anything done! We were held to 80 some yards in the first half. 61 of them rushing with the rest being through the air. By the end of the second quarter, the fans, (including myself) were calling for Cody Hawkins' head. "Hansen! Hansen! Hansen!" filled the stadium. Clearly whatever his dad's talk, Dan Hawkins, the coach said really woke him up. Or maybe it was our deafening chant that did it. I am convinced that was the reason. None the less, the Buffaloes couldn't put it together. And one of the best parts of the game...the was a streaker!! OMG, it was so funny. and disgusting all at the same time. It was at half-time. The Buffs ended up losing to their instate rivals the CSU Rams by a score of 23-17. The game got exciting at the end of the fourth when Cody Hawkins put together a respectable drive that ended with a TD. But it was wayyy too late. It basically sucked alot! I was so pissed. It was an awful game. And the WORST part is that the CSU students/fans stormed our field.. : / Tough to watch for sure. Im not feeling so good about my 8-4 prediction for the season. : / The Buffs better turn it around.

Yep!! That's me!! :D on TV at the CU vs. CSU game!
Thanks Mom and Dad for sending me the picture.

There goes Ralphie! She runs twice every game. At the beginning at at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. This really gets the fans going! (I just got goosebumps writing this)

From our first seats.. we later moved closer to the field.

The CU band playing with the CSU band. Wasn't really diggin' it.
Sportsman ship is cool and all, but no. We weren't fans of this. haha.

A Day in Pictures

A pano picture of my room from my bed. Those are my legs. The TV splits the room in half(ish).

My new Twitter avatar! Thanks @djbooba! He took my avatar pic, a pic of the SF Giants logo and the CU Boulder Buffaloes logo and put them all together to create my avatar using Photoshop! Now, when on twitter, if you look at my avatar, its not all blurry, but a crystal clear picture.

Michael locked himself out of the Kia Rio, so we had to have them come. Luckily, it was covered by Kia. I guess this is an everyday occurrence on a college campus
and they opened up the car for us for FREE!

There's the Kia Rio. One sexy car.haha. Michael and the Lock Man working out some paperwork.

A glitch on Hannah's Blackberry Bold. We had to take it to the AT&T store in Broomfield, CO where they replace the phone no matter what was wrong with it. It had an out of warranty service. It was the only one in Colorado, I believe. For the record, Broomfield is only 15-20 mins.

@mhelvey! Welcome to Colorado!

Today Michael arrived in Denver, Colorado to come visit me for the weekend. This is the last time I will be seeing my best-man before he heads to Belgium to serve his Church, for the next two years. Mixed feelings about that for sure. Excited for him, but sad he won't be around when I am back in the Bay(tear). So, he put some money together with some help from Mr. Helvey(his daddy) i think he helped. ; )
So I woke up super early to get to the airport. I am really paranoid about the whole getting to the airport deal. The AB Sky-Ride bus only stops at the stop I was at every hour. I got on to the bus, made a couple transfers and was on my way. The public transportation people in Boulder were VERY helpful telling me where to get on which bus. A lady even dropped me off at a non-designated stop. SCORE!
I got to the airport, listened to my music, played on my laptop, and created a sign for Michael on my computer. It was awesome. I have never gotten so many weird looks, and head-turns as people get off the plane. It was quite a sight. I was holding my Macbook Pro in the air, dancing around. My reason for doing so was that, hopefully I never see any of these people again. But, this weekend is CU vs. CSU weekend at Folsom Field, meaning I may see some of these people at the game. haha. Oh well.

And there is the bozo I call the best-man. Dude, look at the road!

My view from the passengers seat in the Kia Rio. Beautiful Colorado!

Our rental car which was a Kia Rio was from Florida.
Even cars from Florida love 4 seasons and snow!

One of my drafts for Michael's sign. Thought the flight number
and CU Boulder was too much.

Wifi in the AB Sky-Ride bus was called the 60ft Lesbian Octopus

CU Boulder 2009-2010 Football Season Prediction

Hey all! Here is my prediction for the Buffaloes this upcoming
2009-2010 Football Season.

Last season the Buffaloes were 5-7. A losing record.

Hopefully the Buffaloes can turn it around with Cody Hawkins,
the coach's son taking the snaps and with new depth at WR.

Below is the schedule with the Month and Date
of when the game is being played.
Along with whether the game is HOME or AWAY.

September

6 Colorado State -- W
11 @Toledo (ESPN)-- W
19 Wyoming (Legacy Day)-- W

October

1 @West Virginia (ESPN)-- W
10 @Texas -- L
17 Kansas (Family Weekend)-- W
24 @Kansas State (CU Herd Trip to Kansas)-- W
31 Missouri (Homecoming)-- L

November

7 Texas A&M (Veterans Day)-- W
14 @Iowa State -- W
19 @Oklahoma State (ESPN)-- L
27 Nebraska (Senior Day)-- L

**All games in BOLD denote a game played to Folsom Field (home)

I predict that the CU Boulder football team will go 8-4 good enough for a Bowl Berth and a possible Top 25 ranking at the end of the Season, depending on if we win the bowl game which would give the Buffaloes a record of 9-4.

I am not a professional college football analyzer, but when I did decide this, I used common sense/and a little bit of knowledge. Have fun hatin'. :D

Go Buffs!
