PrintInteresting story from Buffzone. Seems like old Darrell has publicly stated he doesn't listen to Darian Hagan, his position Coach. Wow.
"I’m not backing off," Hagan said Wednesday. "I’m coaching him up with intensity. He’s a guy who really has never had anyone to push him and challenge him. So it’s new to him.
"Every little nick is bothersome for him, and he don’t understand that as long as you’re playing this game of football, you’re never going to get healthy, so might as well just fight it out, go as hard as you can and keep pressing on. If you start babying yourself, then this game ain’t for you. But this week he’s been good."
Okay. Nice coaching D-Hag. But then it gets funny.
When asked about Hagan’s philosophy and tough love approach prior to Wednesday’s practice, Scott shrugged it off as a coach being a coach.
"Honestly, you don’t pay attention to him," Scott said. "You just do your best and try to recover fast. I’m not worried about him, I’m worried about me.
"I don’t care if he’s questioning me. I know my limits and I know what I can do."
Fun times in Boulder, huh Darrell? The curse is strong in this one.
CU. Where if you're going to run trains, you'd better play with pain.

Is that what you call designing an offense around someone?

Back off of Darrell, he is a fine young man raised by a loving family.

Eerily similar to Marcus Houston. I’m waiting for Hagan to call Scott Darrelleesha and put a tampon in his locker.
Hagan doesn’t believe you can truly be a man unless you’ve done a drive-by.

Ahh, good old Marcus Houston. Was he the first to receive the Mack Brown curse? If not, he was in the top 5. I was fortunate enough to live in Denver at the time so I got to witness that train wreck up close.

He should have come to Texas where no on would push him. I’m joking. Kind of.

Sometimes the curse hits you in an obvious and clear way (Albert Hollis), and sometimes it’s much more subtle (Greg Barnum). Rest assured, however, that the curse will one day find you. And when it does, it will linger….

Well, he wouldn’t get too many carries here, so maybe he wouldn’t get as many ouchies.

The Mack Brown Curse is really just confirmation of Mack’s oft-stated principle, If he plays you in the recruiting process then it’s not someone you wanted anyway.

He runs like a bigger but less physical version of Chris Brown. What curse? Sounds more like crappy, sham recruit rankings to me. You can push this boy as much as you want, he is never going to be that stud back he was reputed to be by the recruit ranking hucksters, and he is never going to beat out Stewart. Stew was ranked way beyond the 100th best back and he is way, way better than Scott. Now, what does that tell you about these so called rankings.

Darrell’s stat line against the vaunted K State defense:
6 carries for 11 yards, 1.8 ypc, 0 TDs
