CU Recruiting Class of 2026 down to nine members, with three decommits in the past three weeks. Thoughts?
- This shows that recruits are seeing in Colorado what the national pundits are seeing: A program which is rudderless and heading in the wrong direction. Just another bad day to be a Buff (46%, 69 Votes)
- We'll see what happens between now and the start of the spring semester. It's getting harder to do ... but in Coach Prime we trust! (29%, 43 Votes)
- Signing Day is still a few weeks away. I guess if you want to see something good out of CU not going bowling ... Coach Prime will have extra time to get the Recruiting Class at least back to poor (25%, 38 Votes)

The Athletic has posted an article on "What Went Wrong With CU's Recruiting?". Your Thoughts?
- It's really not about the recruiting, it's about the coaching. Coach Prime needs to say goodbye to some of his buddies, and bring in coaches with collegiate experience (61%, 80 Votes)
- Hits and misses with the former four-star recruits. The comment that "If they can't be developed by Alabama, what makes you think they'll improve with you?" hit home (23%, 30 Votes)
- It gets back to CU's lack of high school recruiting. I get that you don't want to recruit 30 freshmen, just to watch half of them leave in two years, but you have to have a base of good players (16%, 22 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from Coach Prime's weekly press conference do you like the best?
- "You’ve got the right man. I promise you do. And I’m going to prove that to you. Just give me the opportunity and a little more time, and I’m going to prove that to you" (66%, 89 Votes)
- "I haven’t forgotten how to coach in a year. We did some things we shouldn’t have done. That’s on us. I know what I want. I know what I should see. And next year I’m going to see it” (26%, 35 Votes)
- “I love Rick to life. I don’t feel like I’m losing him, because he is still going to be part of the program. I wouldn’t be here without him, and we talked extensively about the decision he is making” (8%, 11 Votes)

CU is averaging 51,656 per home game this fall (more than a sellout). Your prediction for attendance for the Arizona State game:
- It will start out okay, but, if the CU offense doesn't move the ball, the crowd in the second half may look like the Arizona game ... basically empty but for the shirtless student section (40%, 53 Votes)
- Less than 48,322 who were at the Arizona game a few weeks ago. With CU having nothing to play for, and the students taking off for Thanksgiving, there will be plenty of empty seats (39%, 52 Votes)
- In the 48,000 to 50,000 range. Most of the tickets have been sold, the kickoff isn't too late (6:00 p.m.), and the weather (sunny and 57 during the day; probably in the high-40's during the game) (21%, 29 Votes)

CU opens as a 7.5-point home underdog to Arizona State (6:00 p.m., MT, ESPN2). Thoughts?
- Julian Lewis gets his first home start, with an off-week to prepare. I'm excited to be there for the Buffs' first win in the Julian Lewis era (36%, 49 Votes)
- I'm afraid that with the Buffs getting to seven losses, the bye week may have been an opportunity to check out for the season. I can see this as a blowout, with Kenny Dillingham running it up (34%, 46 Votes)
- Take CU and the points. Arizona State has gone 3-1 in the last month, with all three wins by less than a touchdown. ASU might well win, but the Buffs should be able to cover (30%, 40 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??? 🙂
