The season opener is now less than ten days away. As the TCU game approaches, rate your level of apprehension that the Coach Prime experiment won't work out as well as hoped
- Low. It's been an amazing nine month ride on the Coach Prime train, and I am more excited than ever to get the season going. CU is going to shock college football - and we'll have front row seats! (48%, 140 Votes)
- Medium. I know there will be disappointments, but you're asking a fan base which endured the humiliation of the 2022 season if they are worried about 2023? Literally cannot be any worse (44%, 129 Votes)
- High. I thought the 20-point spread against the Horned Frogs and the 3.5 over/under win total were absurd when they were first posted, but they haven't moved in months. Perhaps Vegas knows something? (8%, 23 Votes)

WSU President infers that ESPN and Fox conspired to exclude Apple from college football, bringing down the Pac-12. Thoughts?
- Just wondering ... If WSU had been thrown a life preserver and invited into the Big 12 or the Big Ten, would it's President be so worried about the exclusion of streaming from college football? (43%, 74 Votes)
- Makes sense. If the Pac-12 doesn't sign a contract with Apple, the streaming service is out of football for at least the next five years. May have been a smart business move - with consequences (40%, 69 Votes)
- As Schulz admitted: “People can say, ‘Kirk, put on a tin-foil hat; that’s kind of (a) conspiracy theory' ''. A president shouldn't make serious accusations without some measure of proof (17%, 30 Votes)

ESPN: "It wouldn't be surprising to see TCU hang half-a-hundred on the Buffaloes". Thoughts?
- This is getting really old. The coaching staff could set up bulletin boards from one end of the practice facility to the other to contain all of the negative press. Let's get to playing already! (55%, 183 Votes)
- You're freakin' kidding, right? TCU beat the worst team in the Power Five last year, 38-13, and lost eight starters to the NFL - and TCU is going to score 50+ on this year's team? No chance (34%, 112 Votes)
- If ESPN had said, "It's going to be a shootout between CU and TCU, with the winner scoring half a hundred", I might have given them a pass ... but they didn't say that. It's all anti-CU (11%, 37 Votes)

Which unit on the team is giving you the most concern as Game Week against TCU approaches?
- The offensive line. Two Kent State starters and two holdovers from CU's unproductive line from 2022. Skill position talent means nothing if there are no holes to run through and no time to pass (48%, 156 Votes)
- The backup quarterbacks. Let's face it - the Buffs can be competitive as long as Shedeur Sanders is upright. If Sanders goes down, we might as well start looking forward to 2024 (34%, 112 Votes)
- The defensive line. CU was competitive last season ... for the first half of the first game. Coach Prime wants to build from the outside in ... and may not have gotten the interior part right yet (18%, 59 Votes)

Two weeks out from the start of the Coach Prime era at CU, and the Buffs remain three-touchdown underdogs to No. 17 TCU. Thoughts?
- I love it. TCU, the Fox Big Noon Kickoff Show, and the rest of the nation are going to be shocked at how poorly they underestimated Coach Prime's Buffs. CU serves notice on the nation with an upset (63%, 130 Votes)
- I'm just trying to wrap my head around the fact that CU was humbled by TCU last year, yet the 38-13 final is about what Vegas is predicting for CU's 2023 opener (32%, 65 Votes)
- I hate it. I've been enjoying all of the attention CU has received over the past nine months, and will be saddened to see CU has a ways to go before taking on a ranked team (5%, 11 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??? 🙂
