The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, so they say. That idiom often seems to ring no truer than it does on the gridiron and, if we want to be specific about that tree... it’s a coaching one. This upcoming Saturday will be a special occasion for not one but two father-son duos and both just happen to be intertwined in the coaching circles of the Big Sky Conference. Family ties this weekend will be split for a few hours and it's bound to make for some big headlines and fun in-game moments.
It'll all start when Dan Hawkins takes his UC Davis squad on the road to face Idaho State.
