Which quote of the day gives you the most optimism about the Buffs?
- OL coach Kyle DeVan on defensive line: “Our second group of D-line is (darn) good and it may be just as good as the first group. I’ve really been impressed with those guys" (69%, 112 Votes)
- HC Karl Dorrell: "Defensively, our pass rush is really improving from where it was a year ago ... We have a few guys that are part of that. Justin Jackson has been a guy that has been flashing" (21%, 34 Votes)
- WR coach Phil McGeoghan on Daniel Arias: "I’ve been very pleased with Daniel’s progression, and he’s a guy who I’m really counting on this year to take that next step" (10%, 16 Votes)

247 Sports Analysts project Colorado will go 2-10 in the 2022 season. Thoughts?
- I just hope that this will be bulletin board material in the locker room and weight room. If the Buffs were lacking for motivation before, this should help (43%, 109 Votes)
- Sad to say, but it's probably a pretty fair assessment at this point. There is no defined quarterback, a loss at the skill positions, questions on both lines, and lost DB's (41%, 105 Votes)
- Absurdly low. The preseason prognosticators see a few recognizable names who have left, and declare the program a disaster. Thankfully, the Buffs get to play the games and prove them wrong (16%, 42 Votes)

CU to conduct an open practice this Saturday, April 9th (11:15 a.m.). Thoughts?
- I just hope that all of the Buff fans who have complained about CU not being more open with their practices show up. If there are 200 fans there, CU can (rightly) say, "What's the point?" (72%, 123 Votes)
- I'm not sure if watching a spring practice is the equivalent to watching paint dry ... but it's close. I have little interest in watching players walk through drills two weeks into spring practices (22%, 37 Votes)
- I'll be there! It's been four months since we've had the chance to be in Folsom Field to watch our Buffs. Yes, it's just a practice, but it's a chance to see the Buffs and support the team! (6%, 12 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from defensive lineman Terrance Lang do you find to be the most interesting/enlightening?
- “There was a lot of plays I left on the field but I’m working with coach Chatman now to clean up, to work on finishing on the quarterback and actually making plays" (78%, 134 Votes)
- “I’ve got the perspective of so many different good coaches and I can take all of that and apply it in one ... you’ve got to be able to adjust to change. So that’s what we’re doing" (11%, 19 Votes)
- “I never thought I’d be here for six seasons, but at the end of the day, I feel like everything happens for a reason. I just look at it as a chance to grow and learn that much more" (11%, 18 Votes)

Karl Dorrell: “In drills we have to slow down the pace so we’re getting quality reps instead of quantity". Thoughts on this quote?
- Nothing to see here. As Dorrell noted, almost every team in the country has depth issues in the spring. Let's not make more of this than need be (40%, 75 Votes)
- Trying to see this as a positive. CU may well have to dip into the Transfer Portal to supplement the roster over the summer. Time to weed out the players the Buffs won't be able to use this fall (34%, 64 Votes)
- Certainly a red flag. It's not enough that CU has had some of its most talented players leave, but now the spring practices are compromised. It seems CU's chances of 2022 success are dimming (26%, 47 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??? 🙂
