Every season for the Colorado Buffaloes, Head Coach Dan Hawkins starts the team fresh. He doesn't simply give players from previous seasons automatic starts, but makes them prove themselves year after year. You would think that this would be a huge incentive for the individual players and, more importantly the team as a whole to improve. Well last year, Hawkins' career was on the line after the Buffaloes went 3-9 overall in the 2008-09 Colorado Buffaloes season. Dan Hawkins has returned this season just as enthused and is ready to crack down, but is sticking to his "no returning starters" policy. In theory, this is a great incentive for players to step up to the plate even if they may have been lagging in earlier years. Let's just hope the Buffaloes can withstand the stampede this season.
