Colorado blows a 29-0 halftime lead, falling in double overtime to Stanford, 46-43. Thoughts?
  • I just can't understand the hubris of going for it on fourth down at midfield - twice - and being burned by the same play and player the entire second half. This one will hurt for some time (57%, 156 Votes)
  • An epic disaster similar of the fourth quarter meltdown against Kansas in 2010 and the Oregon State disaster in 2018. Both those losses coast coaches jobs - won't happen this time (28%, 78 Votes)
  • With a bye week coming up, the Buffs will have to try and build off of the positives of the first half of the game, and get ready to surprise UCLA in two weeks (15%, 40 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado v. Stanford (Friday, 8:00 p.m., MT, ESPN)
  • This is CU's last best chance at a clear victory, and I think the Buffs will rise to the occasion. All three phases of the game click, and the Buffs roll into their bye week with a big win! (46%, 142 Votes)
  • The last time CU was favored by more than a touchdown, CSU had an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter. It's never easy for this team, but they are tough. A CU victory, but not by double digits (37%, 113 Votes)
  • CU was on the road last week, while Stanford had a bye week. The last team to have a bye to prepare for CU? CSU ... and Stanford is a better team than CSU. If they are not ready, Buffs could be upset (17%, 54 Votes)

CU men picked to finish 5th in Pac-12 preseason media poll; women picked to finish fourth. Thoughts?
  • I liked Boyle's quote: “If we’re the fifth-best team in the Pac-12, the Pac-12’s pretty good this year”. Situation normal: CU disrespected yet again by the Pac-12 media (63%, 123 Votes)
  • I'm happy that both the men's and women's teams have two first-team All Pac-12 performers, but, if I'm being honest, I won't check in on basketball until December (21%, 41 Votes)
  • We're really in a golden age of CU basketball with both teams picked so high. Women made it to the Sweet Sixteen last year ... will both make it that far this year? (16%, 30 Votes)

Coach Prime confirms that Travis Hunter is back at practice, and could play against Stanford. Thoughts?
  • It's up to the doctors of course, but it would seem to make more sense to hold Hunter back for the winnable game against Stanford, and then give him the bye week before unleashing him against UCLA (40%, 114 Votes)
  • I'm just excited to get one of the best players in college football back on the field. The college football world is about to be reminded just how great a player he is - welcome back, Travis! (36%, 102 Votes)
  • This is great news! Hunter is CU's best defensive player, and one of its best offensive players. An upgrade which bolsters my confidence about the Stanford game ... and beyond (24%, 70 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from three-star edge rusher Amontrae Bradford from Georgia. Thoughts?
  • Nice to get another D-Lineman, and nice to get CU's first commitment since June (??). Now let's get some offensive lineman, please (though the Transfer Portal might be necessary for both lines) (44%, 126 Votes)
  • Love it! The fourth defensive line commit, and the fourth commitment from the talent-rich state of Georgia. Welcome to the Herd, Mr. Bradford! (30%, 86 Votes)
  • I just love the attitude: “I plan on being the first edge they put in the first round in awhile. The first edge Deion puts in the league". CU needs confident players like Mr. Bradford! (26%, 72 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??? 🙂
