CU turns a 7-6 halftime deficit into a 38-13 embarrassment. Thoughts?
- We keep being promised progress, but every year it's the same old stuff. Should we be debating the starting quarterback ... or whether Karl Dorrell should be head coach in 2023? (59%, 207 Votes)
- I'm torn ... Is this as bad as the Chuck Fairbanks era, or as bad as the Jon Embree era? To be determined ... Wake me when it's over (25%, 88 Votes)
- The first half was close, and the Buffs could have had a good lead if they hadn't made mistakes in the red zone. It's a long season, so we'll see how the Buffs react (16%, 56 Votes)

It's (finally) time! Your prediction for TCU at Colorado (Friday, 8:00 p.m., MT, ESPN)
- Karl Dorrell's "revenge and respect" tour begins Friday night. No one outside of the Buff Nation believes, but we know better. Buffs will take down the Horned Frogs! (51%, 177 Votes)
- I hope that I'm wrong, but I'm concerned that this will be a reality check for the Buffs. The CU secondary gets exposed, and TCU runs away with a two-touchdown (gulp - or worse!) victory (30%, 104 Votes)
- I can certainly see CU keeping the score close, but I have a hard time seeing the Buffs pulling out the victory. Take the Buffs and the points (up to 13.5!!) ... but TCU wins the game (19%, 68 Votes)

CU: 90% of student passes have been sold, with a full sell out of student passes expected before kickoff. Thoughts?
- Love it ... The student section has been great the past few seasons. A good look for a night game blackout to have a rockin' student section (58%, 131 Votes)
- I wish the rest of the CU fan base was as loyal. It's been a long off-season of reading about long time season ticket holders bailing. I hope it's not true, and that we'll get 47K+ on Friday (30%, 68 Votes)
- Sold tickets and tickets which are used are two different things. I hope that the students show up en masse, but it's also the start of a holiday weekend, so there could still be some empty seats (12%, 26 Votes)

What factoid about graduate transfer wide receiver R.J. Sneed II has you the most excited about his upcoming season?
- That Sneed gives CU a new - and quality - option for a receiving corps which lost no fewer than five receivers to the Transfer Portal this past season (61%, 151 Votes)
- That Sneed has played for championship teams (and one which rebounded from a 2-7 season to win the Big 12), so he can help lead the Buffs on and off the field (21%, 51 Votes)
- That, despite being the second-leading receiver for a team ranked in the Top Ten nationally, that he came to Boulder for a new challenge (18%, 44 Votes)

Which of the following has you the most excited about CU's home opener against TCU?
- That it's a blackout. Blackout games at Folsom have a good look. A night blackout game at Folsom is something special. Can't wait for Friday night! (57%, 142 Votes)
- That CU will be honoring Cliff Branch between the first and second quarters. The NFL Hall of Fame nod should have come while he was still alive, but glad the honor has finally come (19%, 47 Votes)
- That CU has a new state of the art sound system, after years - make that decades - of an inferior system. It has been a real detriment - I'll be interested to see how much it's improved (16%, 40 Votes)
- That CU will have a new vendor - GQueBBQ. So, even if the Buffs are not playing well on the field, the fans can be well fed in the stands (8%, 20 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??? 🙂
