Which of the following quotes from Coach Prime's press conference do you like the best?

- "They look different, they're built different, their attitude is different. Is everybody a superstar? No. But you put a dog beside a guy that's not fully grown yet, he can hunt as well" (36%, 5 Votes)
- "I feel as though we have the best staff that has been assembled in my tenure by far. I'm thankful for progression. I'm thankful for elevation" (28%, 4 Votes)

ESPN's Bill Connelly ranks the 68 Power Four quarterbacks. CU's Julian Lewis comes in at No. 64. Thoughts?
- Julian Lewis is 14 months removed from being a five-star recruit, with offers from Georgia, Alabama, USC, Ohio State and Oregon. We'll see how smart Mr. Connelly looks come November (52%, 60 Votes)
- I can understand that Julian Lewis would be rated fairly low. He's still an 18-year old freshman, with little tape from which to grade his ability. Check back in at mid-season, Mr. Connelly (33%, 38 Votes)
- I don't know what Bill Connelly has against the Buffs, but pretty much every time there is an SP+ ranking, CU comes in at the bottom. Another CU hater - disregard and move on (15%, 18 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from offensive coordinator Brennan Marion do you like the best?
- "(Julian Lewis) has a million dollar arm. As far as arm talent, he is in the class of Quinn Ewers and those types of guys when you talk about being able to throw the ball at an elite level" (46%, 48 Votes)
- "(CU players) might not be the most glorified star-rated guys or whatever, but these are guys that are hungry and have something to prove. They have a boulder on their shoulder" (42%, 44 Votes)
- “Coach Prime is really just helping me with my soft skills, as you would say. I’m a tough coach; I’m on my players all the time. There’s a balance there. So coach is really helping me in that avenue" (12%, 12 Votes)

Which of the following gives you the most optimism about CU's chances at a winning record this fall?
- That CU has an offense - and an offensive coordinator - who can breathe life into CU's offense. In Coach Marion and his "Go-Go" offense we trust! (63%, 90 Votes)
- That there is no Spring Transfer Portal. CU coaches can concentrate on the roster at hand, knowing that there won't be two dozen defections in April (21%, 30 Votes)
- That Coach Prime will (presumably) be around for the spring and summer. Coach Prime's health was considered to be a major factor in CU's decline last fall. Hopefully, that won't happen in 2026 (16%, 23 Votes)

Was it appropriate for CU to conduct its first spring practice a day after the passing of junior walk-on quarterback Dom Ponder?
- Yes. The coaches and the players all said, "That's what Dom would have wanted us to do". I'm sure it was helpful to be around teammates and be in a routine (85%, 128 Votes)
- I hate to be that person, but CU only gets 15 practices for the spring. With 11 new starters on offense and 8-9 on offense, every practice counts. Perhaps postponing would have been the better move (10%, 15 Votes)
- No. There are things that are bigger than football. I'm glad that they had a team meeting on Sunday, and that they had counselors. Taking care of these young men should come first (5%, 8 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??? 🙂
