Which of the following conference games would you rate as CU's "easiest" this fall?
  • Arizona - November 1st ... The Wildcats are in shambles, and the Buffs get them at home after beating them, 34-7, in Tucson. By November, Arizona will be looking for a vacation, and maybe a new coach (86%, 124 Votes)
  • at Houston - September 12th ... A Friday night game, even on the road, will bring out the best in Coach Prime's Buffs. Houston (4-8 last year) isn't ready for Prime Time ... but CU is (12%, 18 Votes)
  • at West Virginia - November 8th ... Rich Rodriguez added over 50 transfers to the roster this off-season. Remember how CU's lack of depth along the lines was exposed in 2023? That'll happen here (2%, 3 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from four-star linebacker Rodney Colton. Thoughts?
  • Okay, this is what we've been waiting for. A four-star prospect who turns down dozens of Power Four offers to come to CU ... Oh, and in a position of need. Welcome, Mr. Colton, to the black-and-gold! (72%, 109 Votes)
  • Here's hoping that Andre Hart and Coach Prime can turn CU back into a linebacker factory. This is a good start, as Colton could be a four-year starter for the Buffs going forward (25%, 37 Votes)
  • Too bad Colton isn't a Class of 2025 recruit. I hope CU can hang on to its three linebacker commits, as it is clearly an area of emphasis in recruiting this off-season (3%, 5 Votes)

The Sporting News rates Coach Prime as the No. 9 head coach in the Big 12 (No. 39 in the nation). Thoughts?
  • How easily we forget. Coach Prime took over a 1-11 team (that wasn't even THAT good). His job in turning CU into a nine-win team in two seasons is a feat few coaches could match. He's a Top 25 coach (58%, 73 Votes)
  • At the end of the day, Coach Prime is still 13-12 as an FBS head coach. It's going to take several more winning seasons to change opinions. Go 9-4 the next few seasons, and minds will change (24%, 30 Votes)
  • I can see the No. 39 national ranking, as Coach Prime has to have some more time and success to climb that ladder. But 9th in the Big 12? That's too low (18%, 22 Votes)

CU picks up commitments from linebacker Carson Crawford and safety D'Montae Tims. Thoughts?
  • Let's see ... Two prospects in positions of need? Check. From competitive schools in football states? Check. With Power Four offers? Check. Welcome to the Black and Gold, gentlemen! (51%, 71 Votes)
  • I'm just glad to see movement in the Recruiting Class - three new members in the past week. Nice to see quality additions - and to see that Coach Prime & Co. are working on next season and beyond (38%, 53 Votes)
  • In the past, two three-star prospects with Power Four offers would have been stars of the Class. Now, they're just okay. With small freshman Classes, CU needs to have plug-and-play freshmen (11%, 15 Votes)

Coach Prime: "I'm not here to talk about my health. I'm here to talk about my team". Thoughts?
  • I'm just glad to see Coach Prime take the podium without effort, and take on the media with his usual aplomb. After two months out of the spotlight, it's nice to have him back (67%, 116 Votes)
  • Sounds good to me. His health is his personal business. If he is at the Big 12 Media Days and fulfilling his obligations, there is nothing for the media to pursue (17%, 30 Votes)
  • I understand the right to privacy, but Coach Prime is being paid millions. "Are there any health issues which could impact your ability to coach your team?" is a legitimate question (16%, 26 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??? 🙂
