Interim head coach Mike Sanford: Buffs4Life Collective is “a game-changing narrative for our program”. Thoughts?
- We'll see. I'd like it better if there was a statement about what has been raised (and if there are any goals). If we don't know how well the Collective is doing, interest could fade (60%, 112 Votes)
- Sanford: "I’m calling on former Buff players, members of the CU community that support football. This is where we have to go". Finally! A big day for CU! (34%, 63 Votes)
- I'm not a fan of Buffs4Life, so I'm not super excited about this development. I understand a Collective is necessary for CU to compete - I'd just like to have someone else in charge (6%, 11 Votes)

Freshman quarterback Owen McCown has played in four games this fall. Should he play again this season if healthy?
- It should be left to McCown. If he is healthy and wants to play, he should. If he wants to sit and save a season of eligibility, he should have that option (57%, 156 Votes)
- No. If you shut him down now, he will still have four years of eligibility remaining. The next four games are losses, so may as well start thinking about the 2023 season (and beyond) (33%, 90 Votes)
- Yes. If he is healthy, he should play. Next year is next year, and the coaches and players should focus on trying to win each and every game (10%, 28 Votes)

Colorado opens as a 29.0-point underdog at home against No. 8 Oregon. Thoughts?
- Oregon has scored at least 40 points in every game since the opener, and CU struggles to get to double digits. Take Oregon, give the points, and don't overthink it (50%, 116 Votes)
- I'm just embarrassed that this is an actual line (though Ohio State is giving 36 points on the road against Northwestern). It's going to be a long month (41%, 95 Votes)
- Oregon does have a great offense, but has a mediocre defense. I can see the Ducks winning the game easily, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Buffs cover (9%, 21 Votes)

Arizona State 42, Colorado 34. Thoughts?
- It was nice to see some fight in these Buffs. Despite being down over 20 points in the fourth quarter, they kept playing, and finally got past the 20-point scoring ceiling (43%, 113 Votes)
- So ... ASU was averaging 353 yards of offense per game, and had 327 at halftime. Hide the women and children when this defense "faces" the offenses of Oregon and USC the next two weekends (36%, 93 Votes)
- Thanks for stopping by - Drive carefully on the way home. Colorado lost its last best chance at a victory. A 1-11 embarrassment of a season is now secured. Bring on Tad Boyle & Co.! (21%, 54 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado v. Arizona State (Saturday, 5:30 p.m., MT, ESPNU)
- This is it! Homecoming, with a beatable opponent. The Buffs will be charged for this game, and the crowd - and the defense - will carry the Buffs to victory! (37%, 68 Votes)
- A decent chance at a victory, but I'm not sure if the Buffs have what it takes to pull out another victory without help from the Sun Devils. A close loss ... but a loss nonetheless (32%, 59 Votes)
- CU has played seven games, with six duds and one unexpected victory. Odds are we are going to see the "normal" Buffs instead of the "extraordinary" Buffs. The line is about two TDs - ASU to cover (31%, 58 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??? 🙂
