CBS Sports has CU going 2-1 in non-conference play ... and then 1-8 again in Big 12 play. Thoughts?
- Buff fans don't want to hear it, but the reality has to set in at some point. In two of Coach Prime's three seasons, CU has gone 1-8 in conference play ... not a stretch to see that happening again (42%, 23 Votes)
- If you repeat something enough times, it becomes the truth. It's been the narrative since November that the Buffs are going to be bad this fall. It would be a shock if we read a positive story (36%, 20 Votes)
- Yet another boring paper thin analysis by a national pundit. Buff fans know what's being put together in Boulder. We'll see how this "analysis" pans out this fall (22%, 12 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from cornerback RJ Johnson do you like the best?
- “We all know that last year wasn’t acceptable so everybody came in with the mind ready to work ... Everybody here is hungry so nobody came in tense. We are pushing each other" (59%, 42 Votes)
- On the defense: “There are a lot of plays being made. I feel like everybody is doing a great job of jelling together and just becoming one team for the ultimate goal of winning a championship" (38%, 27 Votes)
- On the CB room: “We’re very versatile, we have a lot of guys ... So it has been great to play alongside those guys and be in the room and get to know them" (3%, 2 Votes)

"Buffs All In" has donor matches of up to $200,000 if goals are met - Thoughts?
- Nice to have a fundraiser going, but $200,000 - even if the goals are met, are peanuts. CU needs million-dollar donors, not groups of $50 donors. A sad commentary on the state of CU athletics (46%, 33 Votes)
- Let's watch the numbers. The website already shows over 45 donors - Will they get to 250? To 300? And will those donors step up and create a meaningful "Buffs All In" Day March 31st? (38%, 27 Votes)
- I like it. A proven method of getting new donors is to have matching funds when goals are met. I hope that Buff fans step up, and get that extra $200,000 donated (16%, 11 Votes)

CU has 27 non-Power Four transfers, coming to Boulder with "chips on their shoulders". Thoughts?
- We'll see. If the lack of a spring Transfer Portal helps bring the team together sooner, perhaps having a roster filled with players wanting to show other schools what they missed will help (41%, 42 Votes)
- Means nothing. Having a chip on your shoulder, and doing something about it, are two different things. If CU's lines are getting pushed around, "want to" will easily lose out to "can" (33%, 34 Votes)
- I like it. Last season, the Buffs emphasized Power Four transfers, with disastrous results. Better to have players glad to be here than players who think they deserve better than Colorado (26%, 27 Votes)

How would you rate the CU defensive roster as spring practices resume?
- About the same as last season - which isn't saying a great deal. CU may have to hope that they can outscore other teams this fall if they want to have a chance at a bowl game (65%, 70 Votes)
- A strength. The edge rushers and defensive backs are good, and the linebacker room has improved significantly over last season (19%, 21 Votes)
- A weakness. Hard to believe, but one of the worst defenses in the nation last year may be just as bad this fall. No defensive tackle talent and a thin linebacker corps will doom the Buffs this fall (16%, 17 Votes)

I like the question about SS’s negative coverage. Personally, I think the see-saw coverage is mostly about “stirring the pot” and/or getting clicks. SS is this year’s draft soap opera–a love/hate fest For one negative story there is a more positive one. Some stories are just hit jobs (anonymous NFL assistant/exec), others just cover every minutia of his life. Yesterday, Kiper has him still going early.
SS is an intriguing draftee warranting discussion, however the extensive overall coverage on every detail for one QB prospect seems over the top. NFL teams have their draft boards, needs, and evaluations and they make decisions based upon that. I’ll be glad when SS and TH are picked today and the focus will be on our team.
The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
