How would you rate Ezra Christensen's chances of winning his lawsuit against the NCAA and playing for CU this fall?
- Medium. On its face, Christensen may face an uphill battle, as he has already played four seasons with at least ten games. But all he needs is a preliminary injunction, so this might well work out (100%, 1 Votes)
- High. Players have had a great deal of success in taking on the NCAA. Surprised it took this long to get the lawsuit filed, but the NCAA, not surprisingly never acted on Christensen's case (0%, 0 Votes)
- Low. This is CU, right? When was the last time the Buffs caught a break? CU really needs Christensen, so, naturally, even a judge in Boulder won't find in favor of a Buff (0%, 0 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from offensive coordinator Brennan Marion do you find to e the most eyebrow raising?
- "Offensive line-wise, we’re better than we were at Texas. We’re bigger. We’re more physical. This will be the best offensive line that I’ve ever had" (89%, 101 Votes)
- “JuJu is about at the same point where Quinn (Ewers) was at then (in his second year of college) ... That dude has an NFL arm for sure. He can really throw the ball" (11%, 12 Votes)
- CU is about the same receiver-wise as what he had at Texas: "I think we have four or five NFL receivers here" (0%, 1 Votes)

Colorado and Baylor are the only Big 12 underdogs for Week One. This tells me ...
- That Colorado and Baylor are the only teams brave enough to schedule a Power Four opener away from home. These teams will be rewarded with valuable experience going into the rest of the season (51%, 41 Votes)
- That 2027 can't get here fast enough. Next fall CU will be one of those teams with all three non-conference games at home, including games against Colgate and Northern Illinois (29%, 23 Votes)
- That the rest of the Big 12 should be ashamed. Nine Big 12 teams open at home against teams from the FCS (or lower). Cupcakes shouldn't count in the "W" column - that would stop the nonsense (20%, 16 Votes)

As conference Media Days signal the unofficial opening of the football season, are you getting more or less optimistic about CU's 2026 season?
- More optimistic. I know it's just coach speak, but Coach Prime's optimism (and associated good health) makes me believe that the CU coaches and players are going to be ready to surprise this season (47%, 85 Votes)
- About the same. I really won't pay much attention to the football season until we hit August and Fall Camp. Once the countdown for Game One gets under 30 days, I will turn into a fan again (42%, 76 Votes)
- Less optimistic. You can believe what you want out of Media Days, but it's all coach speak. The reality is that almost every preseason prediction for CU is negative. They can't all be wrong (11%, 20 Votes)

CBS Sports has CU finishing with a 3-9 overall record, 2-7 in Big 12 play. Thoughts?
- All you need to know about CBS Sports is that they have one of CU's losses coming on the road against Georgia State (not Georgia Tech). Lazy journalism leads to indifferent stories (46%, 76 Votes)
- It is what it is until the Buffs prove otherwise. With a difficult schedule (two Power Four non-conference games, most winnable games on the road), and unproven talent, 3-9 is realistic (32%, 54 Votes)
- If you can find someone taking the under on 3.5 wins for the Buffs, take the bet quickly, and walk away with a smile. No chance the Buffs finish with another 3-9 record (22%, 37 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??? 🙂
