Which of the following barbs between Texas Tech and Texas do you like the best?
  • Texas coach Steve Sarkisian: “There’s a team in our state that plays in another conference that has a schedule that I would argue if I played with our twos and our threes, we could go undefeated" (46%, 6 Votes)
  • Tom Brady on Texas Tech graduate Danny Amendola: "Sometimes you need a kid from a glorified community college who can bail your ass out of any jam". Ouch! (38%, 5 Votes)
  • Texas Tech general manager on Texas: “For the longest time they claimed ‘it just means more.’ Now it’s a bunch of excuses (on not playing a home-and-home with Texas Tech)" (16%, 2 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from CU athletic director Fernando Lovo do you like the best?
  • “We’ve got to have a successful football program to be able to help our bottom line, obviously with ticket sales and the other ancillary revenue streams that come off of it" (46%, 36 Votes)
  • “We need to develop a culture of giving that can take us to the next level. That’s been well received. We’ve got to capitalize on these next few years so that we’re prepared for whatever is coming" (38%, 30 Votes)
  • "We’ve been really aggressive on the naming rights front. I’ve been involved in a number of different pitches, and we’ve got a great thing to sell. We’ve got to capitalize on some of those" (16%, 13 Votes)

Iowa State AD: “Let (the Big Ten/SEC) go, but they have to go in all their sports and see how fun it is to play baseball and track when it’s just the 20 of you"
  • The sentiment underscores the frustration most of us have. The NCAA and the College Sports Commission have no teeth, so there are no "guardrails" in place to restrict spending by the Big Two (61%, 63 Votes)
  • I like it. The only card the smaller conferences have to play is to refuse to play the Big Ten and SEC if/when they break away. Reduced national games will force the Big Ten and SEC to share (36%, 37 Votes)
  • Sounds like sour grapes from an athletic director whose head coach (and many players) bolted for Penn State. Can't say I blame him for the attitude, but it's not a good look (3%, 3 Votes)

The best part about the commitment from three-star edge rusher/linebacker Ba'Roc Willis
  • That Willis, a former Alabama commit, had offers from over two dozen Power Four conference schools. Recruits who are being courted by Power Four schools are what CU needs in its Recruiting Class (43%, 37 Votes)
  • That Willis has said that he is "shutting down" his recruitment. CU fans have grown weary of recruits pledging allegiance to CU - until Signing Day gets close. Here's hoping he stays true (34%, 30 Votes)
  • That Willis is a recruit in a position of need. CU never seems to have enough edge rushers/linebackers. Happy to have Mr. Willis in the fold. (23%, 20 Votes)

Brendan Sorsby sues the NCAA to be reinstated as Texas Tech's quarterback. Thoughts?
  • Hell to the No. The NCAA has very few arrows in its quiver, but a permanent ban for betting on your own team has to be the line in the sand. If the NCAA loses this, the sport is totally out of control (85%, 100 Votes)
  • Sorsby said his bets were a way to “feel more connected to the team” and that he never used non-public information when deciding what bets to place. Sure, Brendan. Sure. (11%, 13 Votes)
  • Sorsby's arguing that the NCAA is punishing him “Rather than support a student-athlete’s recovery from a gambling addiction". Will that work? Perhaps before a Texas judge ... (4%, 5 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??? 🙂
