What is your favorite part of a long Fourth of July holiday weekend?
- The three F's - Fireworks, Friends and Food. It's a nice mid-summer break to enjoy all of the above, and relax in the summer sunshine (56%, 69 Votes)
- The break from work. It's nice having the 4th on a Friday, which gives us some extra time to decompress before getting back to work on Monday (and not have to work after being up late on the 4th) (37%, 46 Votes)
- The break from college football news. Despite the long off-season, it seems like we have had new (and often not good) football news. I'll be back refreshed next week - bring on the Big 12 Media Days! (7%, 8 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from three-star linebacker Colby Johnson. Thoughts?
- Wait a second ... CU received a commitment from a linebacker? Who knew that was possible? I'm just glad to see CU's Recruiting Class all the way up to five members. Keep it going, coaches! (40%, 66 Votes)
- Johnson had only one other offer from a Power Four conference school (unless you also want to count Washington State). A good pickup, but not a blue chip prospect (34%, 55 Votes)
- Looks like Johnson has good speed (10.87 in the 40) and versatility (also playing running back in high school). Looks like a good get for Coach Prime and the Buffs (26%, 43 Votes)

Phil Steele ranks CU 13th in his Big 12 preseason predictions. Thoughts?
- The Big 12 isn't going to do a preseason poll (after picking Arizona State last season). I'm just glad that we're moving into July, and can start talking about actual football soon (57%, 68 Votes)
- Steele has CU below five teams which finished with losing records in 2024, and has CU as the only team with a winning record in '24 to be ranked in the bottom half of the Big 12. Biased much, Phil? (31%, 37 Votes)
- This is more disconcerting than many of the other preseason picks. Steele is usually more respected than other prognosticators, and he has CU even lower than the others (usually in the 10-11 range) (12%, 14 Votes)

BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff facing seven game suspension; to leave team. Thoughts?
- All I know right now is that CU v. BYU on September 27th is Game Four of the season, so, if the report proves accurate, the Buffs won't have to face the quarterback who beat CU in the Alamo Bowl (51%, 73 Votes)
- Retzlaff understood what he was getting into when he signed on with BYU. He broke the rules, and the University, as it has in other cases, is not making an exception for a prized athlete (41%, 59 Votes)
- I understand that there are disputed rape charges, but the suspension would be due to him having even consensual sex. Seems like BYU needs to find its way into the 21st century (8%, 12 Votes)

CU announces the creation of "Buffs Premier", a "first-of-its-kind fan engagement and membership program". Thoughts?
- It's fine, but I doubt I will be paying much attention to it. With three levels of participation, starting at $40/month, this is going to be out of the price range of many Buff fans ... including me (48%, 39 Votes)
- We'll see what the perks will be. Not much in the way of details, but, if the options are cool, and the price is not prohibitive, I can see me as a "Buffs Premier" participant (35%, 28 Votes)
- Love it! CU has never had a larger fan base, and the athletic department needs to capitalize. I can't wait for more details, so I can get in on some of the good stuff CU will be offering (17%, 14 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??? 🙂
