Hawkins' Gutter Recruitment

I start to think, a very big conscious all around me
Who will be the sucker MC to try to doubt me
Is it you, or you, or you, or you, or him
But I'm like a tree and every lyric is a limb...

CU head honcho Dan Hawkins, never one to stray from a far flung quote or Yogi Berra-like quote, recently had this to say:
"Misery loves company, and I tell our guys, 'The gutter always recruits. The gutter always needs reinforcements.' But sometimes the people that are getting up and getting on in life, they're not doing the same recruiting.”
Dan, you are right. The Gutter does recruit, we recruit the Colorado sports maniacs, guys who want to tell their stories about chucking toilet paper at stoners, dudes who want to drink crazy beers, tailgaters and breakdancers. We recruit guys who want to beat up Brian Fuentes, alcoholics and whinos, those who know all their local bars, cats who know all the words to Run-DMC’s “It’s Like That.” The Gutter recruits frustrated Donk fans, mummies, those who consider Coors Field int he sunshine to the like a shrine, Nebraska haters, those who get physically ill at the sight of the ‘Soulja Boy,’ Nugget apologists and detractors, champions who can pound mass beers in one summer. Dan, we recruit all those who embody the three pillars of all that is the Gutter- Colorado Sports, Hip Hop, and Beer. Dan, this ain’t a chat board, it’s Division One blogging!!!
