Student Section renamed "The Charge". Thoughts?
  • I just wish the students had been given better options than these: Ralphie's Rowdies? Ralphie's Riot? Flatiron Fury? Buffs Brigade? Why didn't they take some time and come up with something better? (42%, 52 Votes)
  • I like it. It was voted on by the student section, so they will be more into it. The more engaged the student section, the better the game atmosphere. Bring it on, students! (29%, 36 Votes)
  • I hate it. The C-Unit has been in place for years, and has been a great success. The thing about traditions ... they are supposed to last for more than one generation. Why fix what isn't broken? (29%, 36 Votes)

Farmaggendon 2025 - No. 22 Iowa State v. No. 17 Kansas State, Saturday, 10:00 a.m., MT, ESPN. What is your rooting interest?
  • I'm cheering for neither. One last weekend with the family before I become completely involved with football. I'll check out the results, but I don't have a rooting interest in the season opener (45%, 70 Votes)
  • I'm cheering for the Cyclones. I haven't liked Kansas State since the Bill Snyder days, and ISU hasn't won a conference title since 1912. Go 'Clones! (41%, 64 Votes)
  • I'm cheering for the Wildcats. CU doesn't play KSU until the late November, while the Buffs host the Cyclones on October 11th. Better to have the Cyclones down when they come to Boulder (14%, 23 Votes)

As the season approaches, rate your level of concern that CU is consistently in double digits in Big 12 standings projections
  • Low. CU was given a 5.5 over/under win total last year, and won nine games. CU has a 5.5 over/under win total projection again this year. I'm comfortable watching the CU beat the odds - again (63%, 118 Votes)
  • Medium. It's true that CU is one of only a few Big 12 teams starting a new quarterback, and has only one starter back on offense, but Coach Prime has proven the pundits wrong before (31%, 58 Votes)
  • High. We've been given eight months of positive stories about our team, but it's hard to ignore the fact that those who do this for a living doubt CU's ability to navigate the Big 12 (6%, 11 Votes)

Who will start a game first in 2025: Shedeur Sanders for Cleveland, or Julian Lewis for CU?
  • I going to go out on a limb here, and say neither will start in 2025. Both will play this fall, and get their opportunities to start in future seasons, but I'm not sure about this year (49%, 92 Votes)
  • Lewis. It's going to hard for Shedeur to get to the starting role this season, but Julian is going to play this fall, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a start for the freshman (28%, 52 Votes)
  • Shedeur. Yes, Joe Flacco has been named the Game One starter, but Flacco is 40, with a history of injuries. It may take awhile, but Shedeur will start before the snow falls (23%, 45 Votes)

Which of the following freshman position groups do you believe will be the most likely to see action this fall?
  • Wide receivers Quanell Farrakhan and Quentin Gibson. CU has many talented wide receivers, but it will be hard to keep these high-profile freshmen on the sidelines (54%, 83 Votes)
  • Defensive lineman London Merritt and Alexander McPherson. There will be rotations along the defensive line, so it wouldn't be a surprise if a freshman (most likely Merritt) saw significant action (30%, 46 Votes)
  • Tight ends Corbin Laisure and Zayne DeSouza. CU wouldn't have recruited two freshman tight ends unless Coach Prime and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur intended to use them ... right? (Right??) (16%, 25 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??? 🙂
