Which of the following quotes from quarterback Julian Lewis gives you the most optimism about CU's upcoming season?
  • "I think (offensive coordinator Brennan) Marion’s a great guy, the best guy we could have brought in for the job because he’s unapologetically him and he kind of reminds me of our head coach" (44%, 59 Votes)
  • "I think it was good (to play in '25). It was humbling, for sure. Just having to sit around and watch games you feel like you can make an impact in was probably the worst part, just watching" (32%, 43 Votes)
  • "I think God put me in this position for a reason, and I think just every time I get the opportunity to show why I’m here, I’m going to do that" (24%, 32 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from Coach Prime's Big 12 press conference for you gives you the most optimism going forward?
  • “We have over double digits in young men on our roster who were captains on their respective teams, and they're with us now. So we have a tremendous amount of leadership" (42%, 45 Votes)
  • "I'm close to 204 [pounds], I'm back, baby, like, like I cannot wait. I cannot wait to get back on that sideline and do our thing. I can't wait to get back to camp. I can't wait to get back in" (37%, 40 Votes)
  • “CU coaching staff, 250 years of coaching experience, 172 years of college, 106 years at the Power Four level, five coaches who served as a head coach at some level ... We're pretty darn good" (21%, 23 Votes)

The Preseason All-Big 12 team has been announced - No Buffs. Thoughts?
  • Here's hoping that this gets posted in the CU locker room. This team needs to play with a chip on its collective shoulder (and it sounds like the current roster is prepping that way) (41%, 33 Votes)
  • Not a concern. When you are coming off of a 3-9 season, and replace almost the entire roster, you are not going to get much respect. Not much news here (36%, 29 Votes)
  • Just another negative story about my Buffs to quickly peruse and then ignore. Texas Tech has seven players on the list ... anyone found a rich Buff yet to donate $100 million or so? (23%, 18 Votes)

Should Coach Prime's Year Four have the feel of deja vu for the Buff Nation?
  • No. Each season is a new season, especially in the new era when the roster on every team has so much turnover. Just because it's Year Four doesn't mean Coach Prime has anything figured out (54%, 57 Votes)
  • Yes. It feels like the 2001 and 2016 seasons, when CU turned to the running game and senior leadership to take the Buffs to ten-win seasons. CU may not get ten, but we're going bowling (24%, 25 Votes)
  • Yes. It's feels like the 1985 season. In Year Four, Bill McCartney's Buffs went from 1-10 to 7-5 by drastically changing the offense. The "Go-Go" offense will resurrect the Buffs in 2026 (22%, 23 Votes)

CU's schedule rated as the most difficult in the Big 12. Thoughts?
  • Schedules are made years in advance. You get what you get. Next year, CU has all three of its non-conference games at home. I just hope the Buffs do well enough this year to make it pay off in 2027 (63%, 47 Votes)
  • Well, when you schedule two Power Four non-conference opponents - and play both games on the road - what do you expect? I can't believe the Buffs are stuck with this schedule (21%, 16 Votes)
  • It would be helpful if it made a difference in public perception. Finishing with a 6-6 record with a tough schedule is better than 8-4 in the new "Pac-12". Hope Buff fans will be patient (16%, 12 Votes)

  1. Stuart:

    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.

  2. 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!!

  3. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  4. 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??? 🙂
