  • "Before (Coach Prime) gets there, I want to make sure things are in place to make sure it goes smooth. To be able to do both (roles), it takes trust, it takes loyalty" (8%, 21 Votes)

CU's 2023 Pac-12 schedule announced, with three September games against teams a combined 34 wins last season. Thoughts?
  • USC and UCLA are leaving, but the Pac-12 goes out of its way to make their schedules easier, while giving 1-11 CU two top ten teams to start conference play. Figures ... (55%, 163 Votes)
  • Not a fan. Even with the influx in talent on the roster, it will take time for this team to gel. I would have preferred starting the Pac-12 against teams like Stanford and ASU (25%, 76 Votes)
  • I like it. It's a challenge, but Coach Prime is up for challenges. If CU can beat TCU, Oregon or USC, it will be national news, and set the Buffs up for a strong run the rest of the season (20%, 60 Votes)

Quarterback J.T. Shrout has decided to enter the Transfer Portal. Thoughts?
  • Makes sense for Shrout. He knows he is not going to play unless Sanders is injured, and that CU may still pick up another experienced backup who might pass him on the depth chart. Good luck to him! (65%, 256 Votes)
  • It is what it is. The timing is a bit curious, with rosters filing up and spring classes starting. Better to know now, so that the coaching staff has more time to find more help for the QB room (32%, 125 Votes)
  • Bad news for the Buffs. Shrout was the only experienced backup in the quarterback room. If Shedeur gets injured, the Buffs will have to trot out an inexperienced freshman. Would rather have him stay (3%, 13 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from transfer defensive back Kyndrich Breedlove from Ole Miss. Thoughts?
  • This is a great pickup. Breedlove had offers from 11 SEC teams out of high school, and, oh yes, he runs a 4.36 in the 40. Another great day to be a Buff! (50%, 157 Votes)
  • Sounds like a good addition to the defensive backfield, but, if I'm being honest, there is a certain five-star DB from the Class of 2023 I was hoping to hear from today ... (32%, 101 Votes)
  • I'm sure this will work out, but Breedlove only played on special teams as a freshman, and was injured most of 2022. I hope this will prove to be the four-star recruit Breedlove was two years ago (18%, 55 Votes)

CU picks up commitments from two graduate transfer defensive linemen, Taylor Upshaw (Michigan) and Jordan Domineck (Arkansas). Thoughts?
  • Love these commitments! The pair, with neither playing full time, had a combined 9.5 sacks last year playing for Power Five conference schools. CU as a team had 9.0. 'Nuff said! (52%, 154 Votes)
  • I just like to see that the coaching staff under Coach Prime has been good at identifying the weakest units on the team, and addressing those issues. Welcome, Mr. Upshaw and Mr. Domineck, to CU! (37%, 109 Votes)
  • Glad to get these commitments, but we have been waiting for 1/15 for weeks. Wasn't this supposed to be the day Cormani McClain committed? On campus, but no commitment? Disappointed (for now) (11%, 35 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??? 🙂
