Issue No. 9
Here is our second interview with Grizzly football coach Bob Hauck (notice the Bob now).
Gazette: Tell us your thoughts about potentially moving up to Division 1 football.
Hauck: It’s a done deal, why do you think I am still here? I have turned down several great jobs but have been promised by the administration that we are going to move up as soon as possible.
Gazette: How can you be so sure?
Hauck: Plans are already underway to expand the stadium on the West side with expanded seating and a much bigger press box. Along with expansion of the stadium comes an expansion in my salary.
Gazette: Could you be more specific or add more details.
Hauck: (Yelling) O’Day get your ass in my office. Tell the Gazette our football schedule for the 2012 season.
O’Day: Our schedule in 2012 will be as follows:
1st Game at University of Washington (money game)
2nd Game Appalachian State
3rd Game Carroll (who will move up to the Big Sky)
Conference games will be on a home and away basis and it will be an eight team league. The winner automatically qualifies for the Las Vegas Bowl. Conference members will be as follows: Colorado State, Idaho, WSU, Boise, Nevada, UNLV, Wyoming and Utah State.
Our final non-conference game will be the Bobcats. Washington St. will be forced out of the Pac-10 and either Utah or BYU will take their place. Our money games will rotate between U of W, Oregon, Oregon St. and Arizona St.
Gazette: Looks like a very tough schedule.
Hauck: We will be 9-3 easily.
Gazette: Good luck,you will need it. |
