What do you make of the pace at which Coach Prime is replacing all of the players who left the team during the second Transfer Portal window?
- Going great! CU has added nine transfers in the past week, including some former four-star recruits. At this pace, the 2023 team will be fully in place by Memorial Day! (48%, 134 Votes)
- Going okay. It was hard to watch some of CU's best players from last year leave, and the number (and quality) of players coming through the door hasn't been as impressive as I had hoped (43%, 122 Votes)
- Not going well. Some of the players giving commitments aren't much more accomplished than the ones CU. Coach Prime said they were coming - where are they? (9%, 25 Votes)

For the 2019 CU/Nebraska game, Folsom Field was (at least) 50% red. What percentage of the stadium will be red for the 2023 game?
- 20-25%. Even with the enthusiasm for CU football this fall, and even with CU selling out its season tickets, you can't keep the red wave completely out of Folsom (39%, 103 Votes)
- 30% or higher. Unfortunately, the temptation to sell seats for $500 or more for the game will be too great for some Buff fans to pass up. Husker fans will have the means - and desperation - to get in (33%, 86 Votes)
- 10-15%. The Northeast corner of the stadium (visitor's section) will be all red, of course, but the remainder of Folsom will be well represented by the black-and-gold for Coach Prime's home debut (28%, 73 Votes)

Which CU Transfer Portal stat to you is the most eyebrow raising?
- None of the above. Coach Prime said he was cleaning house ... no one should be surprised that he actually did what he said he was going to do (72%, 222 Votes)
- That CU had ten scholarship wide receivers on the roster last season ... and none of them are still on the team (16%, 51 Votes)
- That CU lost a dozen defensive backs to the Transfer Portal ... in the last week (10%, 30 Votes)
- That CU had five scholarship quarterbacks on the roster last season ... and none of them are still on the team (2%, 7 Votes)

Has your opinion of Coach Prime changed for the better - or worse - in the last week?
- For the better. A sold out Spring Game which was a two-hour informercial promoting CU, and Coach Prime directed the show. Now he's moving on to rebuilding the roster - like he said he would (46%, 202 Votes)
- About the same. Coach Prime is a celebrity, and draws celebrity attention. CU fans knew (or should have known) what they were getting. There are going to be some highs, and some lows, with Coach Prime (45%, 196 Votes)
- For the worse. There have been some stories about favoritism and Coach Prime not getting to know players. Dumping over 50 scholarship players was never going to be a good look, but this has been tough (9%, 41 Votes)

Wednesday scorecard: Three defensive players in; five more out, including starting offensive lineman Jake Wiley. Thoughts?
- It's nice to see the revolving door with some players coming in for a change. Two new defensive linemen will help; and McLendon and Gant were starters at Florida State. They comin'!! (57%, 192 Votes)
- It may be best for some Buff fans - including myself - to go and watch NBA and NHL playoffs, and come back in a month or two. This roller coaster is too hard to take (29%, 96 Votes)
- The attrition from the roster is getting out of hand. Jake Wiley? He was a pretty solid starter. Taylor Upshaw was brought in by Coach Prime - Should we worry the transfers in aren't won't work out? (14%, 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??? 🙂
