What are you looking for from the Buffs in the Spring Game?
- No injuries. We know that the offense (and defense, to an extent) will be vanilla. Have a few video highlight plays for the fans on hand, and leave the Buff Nation with hope for the season (69%, 82 Votes)
- A successful offense. Coach Prime is looking for 30 points a game from this offense (because the defense will give up that many). There needs to be showing of a functional "Go-Go" offense (20%, 24 Votes)
- A decent defense. There are so few defensive tackles on the roster, and few linebackers. Will there be any standouts? It would be encouraging to see some Alphas on CU's defense this weekend (11%, 13 Votes)

ESPN's Bill Connelly rates CU No. 3 on his list of favorite Transfer Portal Classes. Thoughts?
- Glad for the positive press, but I'm not sure that this has as much to do with volume as it does quality. CU has had highly rated Transfer Classes under Coach Prime. We'll see how this translates (42%, 35 Votes)
- I like it, especially because Connelly has seemingly gone out of his way to downgrade CU in the Coach Prime era. In a time when national press has little good to say about CU, this is refreshing (33%, 27 Votes)
- Well, six teams from the Big 12 made the list, including five in the top ten. Just another sign that CU has a great deal of work to do to move up from No. 15 in the Big 12 (25%, 21 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from Coach Prime's press conference do you like the best?
- "We're getting better, starting with me. I like what I'm seeing from the young men that we've chosen, from everything all the way around. I feel really good about what's going on" (49%, 52 Votes)
- "We've got a three man fight at linebacker right now… those guys are really, really good. The pass rushers on the outside, it's five or six guys that can get home" (33%, 35 Votes)
- “The staff that we have. I think it is tremendous. I think you guys are really sleeping on the staff and what they bring to the table, the different components of it" (18%, 19 Votes)

What are your plans for the CU Spring Game (Saturday, 1:00 p.m., MT, YouTube)
- I'll watch, assuming I can figure out how to watch on YouTube. It may only be a glorified scrimmage, but it's my Buffs in Folsom Field. I can't skip a chance to watch my Buffs! (43%, 41 Votes)
- Not interested. I may flip channels while watching the Masters, or check highlights after I get done with my Saturday afternoon activities, but this team is not worth my undivided attention (43%, 41 Votes)
- I'll be there. There are activities for youth in the morning, with an autograph session after. Oh, and for a change, the weather should be good. I'll be there! (14%, 13 Votes)

Which of the following stats are the most telling about CU's inability to compete for talent?
- That CU ran a "Buffs All In" campaign this past week, raising about $100,000 in new money ... which works out to be about 1/10th of 1% of CU's athletic budget for the year. Sad (54%, 52 Votes)
- That about 43% of the first- and second-team All-Conference football players in the Big 12 transferred to another school this off-season. The percentage for CU? 100% (39%, 37 Votes)
- CU's men's basketball team has an operating budget about 1/3 that of Arizona. Even if CU "doubles its commitment", as AD Lovo promises, CU will only be a middling Big 12 program in terms of budget (7%, 7 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??? 🙂
