Former five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton enters the Transfer Portal. Your reaction?
- I would like to see where Seaton ends up (and with how much cash). If this all about the money, I'm okay - it's a broken system. If the locker room is broken, though, that's a different story (52%, 147 Votes)
- Devastated. This is a real gut punch. Along with Julian Lewis, Seaton was the face of the program, not to mention a former first round NFL Draft pick. Seaton was the last player I expected to leave (26%, 74 Votes)
- Ready to move on. No one is irreplaceable, and CU has done a good job at recruiting offensive linemen the past few seasons. OC Marion's Go-Go offense doesn't require road graters. CU will be fine (22%, 64 Votes)

How well prepared are you for an off-season of negative news (and predictions) about your Buffs?
- Not prepared. I'm planning on ignoring most of the stories about my Buffs this off-season. We know that there are issues with the program. No need to have outsiders beat us down any further (44%, 60 Votes)
- I'm ready. CU and its fans are used to negative press, and it's not going to be any different this off-season. Bring it on ... CU is going to surprise (and upset) the pundits this fall! (43%, 59 Votes)
- I'm not convinced the stories will be negative. Yes, CU was 3-9, but with Julian Lewis and a flock of solid transfers coming in, pundits are going to predict a season for CU (13%, 17 Votes)

CU's Transfer Portal number has reached 30 incoming players. Thoughts?
- It's been a good week. The CU coaching staff has done a good job of filling many of the holes in the roster, but there are still some big fish out there to get (59%, 121 Votes)
- It's been a great week. From depressed to excited, we've gone from a roster with nothing but holes to a roster fans can rally around. A great week to be a Buff! (22%, 45 Votes)
- It's been an okay week. There are over two dozen new players coming in, but there is no guarantee they will work out. If the coaches do as poor a job with this group, the results will be the same (19%, 39 Votes)

New CU offensive coordinator Brennan Marion has brought with him four starters from his Sacramento State offense. Thoughts?
- We'll see. There are still players to be added through the Portal. Once the dust settle, we'll have to assess whether there is enough talent in the Champions Center to compete against the Big 12 (52%, 111 Votes)
- I like it. Indiana and Curt Cignetti did quite well with bringing James Madison players with him, and it's worked for other new coaches. I don't see why Marion can't do the same in Boulder (39%, 83 Votes)
- Not a big fan. CU already has enough issues with its roster without populating the roster with too many FCS players. Sac State went 7-5 last season in Big Sky play - is that an upgrade for CU? (9%, 19 Votes)

All of the former Buffs who have signed with new teams have signed with Power Four schools. Thoughts?
- Tells me that CU had talent, but couldn't coach them well. CU was 123rd in yards allowed, but has had four defensive lineman go to better teams. CU had players with talent, but didn't coach them (42%, 84 Votes)
- Tells me very little ... because I'm not interested. As soon as they hit the Portal, they became former Buffs. The 2025 season is over. I'm only interested in the roster for the 2026 roster (35%, 70 Votes)
- Tells me that over two-thirds of the Buffs who have left the team are still in search of a new home. Many of these players may regret chasing the cash, and wish that they had stayed with CU (23%, 46 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??? 🙂
