Which of the following postgame quotes from Coach Prime gives you the most optimism about the future of the season?

- "The running game looked promising. We could have taken advantage of that a lot more. The passing game is promising. It ain't like they had us covered. We got to take advantage of that a lot more" (34%, 55 Votes)
- "First of all, after the loss, you focus on what's bad at first, because it's still hurting, but then you kind of flip it and focus on what was good and try to build off that" (23%, 37 Votes)

Georgia Tech 27, Colorado 20. Thoughts?
- A bitter disappointment. You can't get three turnovers in the first quarter and only come up with seven points. CU had the chance to dominate early, and missed the opportunity (41%, 85 Votes)
- I'm guessing that there aren't too many games in which you give up 320 yards rushing and expect to win. I thought the defensive line was supposed to be a strength(?) (31%, 64 Votes)
- This just in: CU is going to play any number of one-score games this fall. The Buffs need to learn how to finish. A tough loss, but this is still going to be a fun season (28%, 60 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for the first game of the season, Georgia Tech at Colorado (+4.5)
- Coach Prime has been telling us this whole off-season how much better this team is than the 9-4 team from last year. It's Showtime for Primetime - Buffs impressively take down the Yellow Jackets! (47%, 99 Votes)
- I'm not 100% on board with a CU victory, but a 4.5-point line doesn't make sense to me. If the Buffs lose, it will be by a late field goal. Buffs cover ... and (hopefully) win! (31%, 65 Votes)
- I'm concerned about this game. Georgia Tech is bringing in a QB in his sixth year in the Power Four, against a QB making his Power Four debut. CU will be good this year, but this will be a GT victory (22%, 48 Votes)

Which of the following Big 12 games to you will be the most interesting in Week One?
- Nebraska v. Cincinnati - Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium will be filled with a different kind of red, but here's hoping the Bearcats can give the Big 12 a nice win - and the Cornhuskers a tough loss (49%, 82 Votes)
- TCU at North Carolina - Bill Belichick's first game with the Tar Heels will get plenty of attention on Monday night. I'm more interested in how the Horned Frogs (CU's opponent on October 11th) (30%, 51 Votes)
- Auburn at Baylor - It's too bad this game will be going on at the same time as the CU/Georgia Tech game. An interesting matchup of two "quality" Power Four teams (21%, 36 Votes)

Which of the following announcements Tuesday to you was the most newsworthy?
- That CU waited until three days before kickoff to announce there won't be a Ralphie run to start the game, and we don't know when Ralphie VII will be available. Quite the disappointment (39%, 75 Votes)
- That Kaidon Salter was named as CU's starting quarterback. Widely anticipated, it's still news to know that the senior transfer will be the Game One starter. We're with you, Kaidon! (32%, 61 Votes)
- That Ralphie VI is retiring, and Ralphie VII is in training. For whatever reason, Ralphie VI never warmed to the idea of running at Folsom. Hope Ralphie VII works out! (29%, 54 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??? 🙂
