Hawkins is Gone and Northern Illinois Leads at Half

Dan Hawkins was canned by the University of Colorado for his dismal performance as HC of the Buffs. Who would have thought that a man who led Boise State to very good seasons would turn out to be such a bust in Boulder? If there was any doubt about his fate the meltdown last week against a very poor Jayhawk team should have erased said doubt. Such is the game. On a more important note, Northern Illinois leads the Rockets of Toledo at halftime 28-0. This decides who wins MAC West and goes to the conference championship game.
