Was wondering if/when he was going to get a shot at 1-A job in one of the six BCS conferences?

Boise State coach Dan Hawkins has accepted the head coaching job at the University of Colorado, sources told ESPN. Hawkins will be introduced at a news conference on Friday.

Hawkins had been rumored as a potential replacement since former coach Gary Barnett's dismissal last Thursday.

Reached Wednesday night, Hawkins said, "the process is not complete."

"The only thing I know for sure is that I'm going to be in the theater tonight with my boys watching 'King Kong,' " he said.

Wonder how good the movie was?

Pay increase for Danny Hawkins from $550,000 at Boise State to over a million at Colorado. Hot damn!

Not to mention that recruiting goes from being impossible, "Hey kid, want to come out to Boise?" to very very very easy, "Hey kid, want to play on network TV every week, have nice facilities, cute girls and 300 sunny days a year?"

Good choice for Dan, good hire for CU.
