As Fall Camp is set to open, the starting quarterback is yet to be determined. If you had to guess today, who will be CU's starter v. TCU?
  • Brendon Lewis - He started all 12 games last year. Dorrell: “Whether it’s good or bad, you learn from that experience. That’s what Brendon was able to do" (40%, 93 Votes)
  • Doesn't matter, because the CU offense will struggle regardless of who earns the first start. My money would be on betting that neither player will start all 12 games this fall (34%, 79 Votes)
  • J.T. Shrout - Finally healthy, the transfer from Tennessee will earn the start. Dorrell: “He’s completely 100% right now" (26%, 59 Votes)

Which Karl Dorrell quote from Pac-12 Media Day gives you the most optimism about the program heading into the 2022 season?
  • "We had a number of players who left ... We feel like we're in a better position now than we were a year ago. That's what no one knows and that's an exciting part for us as a football program" (55%, 96 Votes)
  • "The positive is that we're able to build our team with guys that are like-minded and players that are on the same page with a staff that's been very invested in these young people" (30%, 52 Votes)
  • "It's a challenging schedule, absolutely. We want to be measured up against the best in the country. This gives us a chance to make a big impression with a lot of people" (15%, 26 Votes)

Preseason Pac-12 Media Poll picks Colorado to finish last. Thoughts?
  • Until CU proves different, this is going to be the perception. The Buffs have a chance against TCU to begin changing the narrative, but until there are "W's" on the ledger, this is CU '22 (80%, 137 Votes)
  • Nothing to see here. This was the same media bunch who didn't have a single Buff on the first- or second-team All-Pac-12 teams. At least they are consistent in their bias (13%, 22 Votes)
  • It just bugs me that this is the first year without divisions. Instead of CU being picked to finish 6th in the South, CU is picked to finish "12th". That's painful to look at (7%, 13 Votes)

CBS Sports is reporting that the Big Ten may target Oregon, Washington, Cal and Stanford. Thoughts?
  • All I know is that I hope (pray) that CU's leadership is working the phones, and my Buffs don't end up in a third-rate conference. CU's brand is tarnished, but not gone - get it done! (57%, 180 Votes)
  • Give it a rest, Dennis Dodd (and CBS). If the Big Ten wanted those schools, they would have gotten them. There is not going to be any additional movement for some time, so quit with the click bait (22%, 71 Votes)
  • Hate to say it, but it makes sense. It would give the Big Ten (and Fox) a strong foothold in the Pacific time zone, which will help the west coast teams and hurt ESPN (21%, 67 Votes)

All-Pac-12 Media Preseason team released - Eleven of 12 teams have at least two representatives on first two teams; CU has zero. Thoughts?
  • Sounds about right. CU recruits players with few P5 offers, get their best players taken by other teams, and refuse to participate in NIL. Attention, Champions Center top floors: You reap what you sow (48%, 98 Votes)
  • You have to love the fact that three former Buffs made the All-Pac-12 team. Wonder if they would have made the team if they still played for CU. Another sad day for the Buff Nation. Sigh (37%, 77 Votes)
  • Just a sign that the west coast media pays as little (or even less) attention to CU as the preseason magazines. Nothing to see here (15%, 31 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??? 🙂
