Buffs fall on the road against Washington State, 78-69. Thoughts?
  • I'm just glad it's still January, and there is still plenty of time for this team to figure things out. I still see this as a tournament team, but there is little margin for error (47%, 90 Votes)
  • Just another example of how Tad Boyle has a distinct ceiling. He can get decent recruits, and can win 20 games a season, but he can't push CU through to an elevated status (42%, 81 Votes)
  • Well, considering CU hasn't had a road sweep against the Washington schools since joining the Pac-12, I guess a split is about as much we could have hoped for out of this weekend (11%, 21 Votes)

CU men pick up first true road win over Washington, jump back into the field as a No. 10 seed. Thoughts?
  • Liking it. CU is heading into the weekend a half-game out of first place, and on a four-game winning streak. Everyone is healthy, and the Pac-12 is there for the taking (45%, 67 Votes)
  • We're only halfway through the conference schedule, and the Buffs still have to prove themselves on the road, and still have Arizona at home. Nice win in Seattle, but plenty of ball left to play (35%, 52 Votes)
  • I'm actually more impressed that the CU women are a No. 1 seed (along with two other Pac-12 teams). A deep run in the tournament seems to be the Buffs' destiny this March (20%, 31 Votes)

Washington State and Oregon State agree to pay the West Coast Conference to give their non-revenue sports a home. Thoughts?
  • Sad. Former Power Five athletes are going to play against WCC schools, with the university paying the conference for the privilege and not receiving any media rights revenue. Tough for WSU and OSU (41%, 71 Votes)
  • Some schools are going to be left behind in realignment. WSU and OSU are just the latest dominos to fall. I just hope that CU is in a good position when the next round of realignment hits (41%, 71 Votes)
  • It's a dog-eat-dog world, and the Cougars and Beavers were the weakest links in the Pac-12. It's not the job of the other schools to prop up schools which aren't nationally relevant (18%, 32 Votes)

CU remains without a defensive coordinator. Rate your level of concern.
  • Low. There is nothing going on in the Champions Center right now which requires a defensive coordinator. Patience, people. CU needs to get this selection right, even if it takes extra time (55%, 145 Votes)
  • Medium. We've been told that the new defensive coordinator will be coming from the NFL. Well, we're down to four teams still playing ... is there an NFL candidate still out there? (32%, 84 Votes)
  • High. Has the bloom fallen off the Coach Prime rose? Are prospective defensive coordinators concerned about the future of the CU program, and staying away from Boulder? (13%, 37 Votes)

While the CU women are fighting for a No. 1 seed in March Madness, Tad Boyle's Buffs (14-5, 5-3) are a bubble team. Will the Buffs make the tournament?
  • Still to be determined. If CU plays as well as they did this past weekend against the Oregon schools this upcoming weekend against the Washington schools, I'll be a believer (51%, 121 Votes)
  • Yes. The Buffs have a number of quality (Quad 1) wins, and are getting better now that they are healthy. CU's position in the bracket will only approve with time (31%, 72 Votes)
  • No. The Buffs are winless in true road games, and five of the next seven games are on the road. I'm seeing the Buffs sliding out of the tournament discussion (18%, 43 Votes)

  1. 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!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. 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??? 🙂
