No. 20 Colorado 56, Colorado State 48. Thoughts?
  • McKinley Wright went 1-11, the Buffs had 21 turnovers, and almost blew a 27-12 halftime lead. Not super excited about the rest of the season (47%, 112 Votes)
  • Any win over CSU is a good win. A win over CSU in Moby Gym is not easy to come by as the Rams play their best game against CU. Take the "W" and enjoy the weekend. Worry about next week next week (41%, 99 Votes)
  • Holding any team to 12 points in the first half is a feat. Nice bounce back win for the Buffs. Hope they can sustain the good defense going forward (12%, 28 Votes)

Buffs traveling to Ft. Collins to take on CSU (Friday, 6:00 p.m., CBS Sports Network). Prediction? ...
  • I don't know how, but the Buffs need to find a way to win this game. A third straight loss may send this season into a death spiral from which the Buffs may not recover (51%, 113 Votes)
  • The Rams are 5-3, and were picked to finish 8th in the Mountain West ... good time for a bounce back win (38%, 83 Votes)
  • CU is only 5-4 against CSU under Tad Boyle. The Rams seem to have the Buffs' number, and the struggling Buffs are likely to lose Friday night (11%, 25 Votes)

Colorado State hires former Boston College coach Steve Addazio. Thoughts?
  • Not news at all ... After CU opens against CSU next fall, the Rams are off CU's schedule until 2023 ... and by then the Rams will have a different coach (47%, 146 Votes)
  • Not great news. When not playing CU, I have no problem rooting for CSU ... and this doesn't look like a home run hire (30%, 94 Votes)
  • Good news for CU. No ties to CSU or the west, a .500 coach who lost at home to Kansas last year ... I can't wait for the September 5th game in Ft. Collins! (23%, 73 Votes)

Junior wide receiver K.D. Nixon declares for the 2020 NFL Draft. Thoughts?
  • Not good news. I wish Nixon the best, but he and his draft stock would have been better served to stay another year, and try to be the breakout star in next year's offense (62%, 210 Votes)
  • Well, nine former Buffs have declared early for the NFL Draft, and all have been selected. Fingers crossed that KD won't become the first Buff to leave early and go undrafted (30%, 101 Votes)
  • Good news. Nixon was given the Eddie Crowder award for leadership, and is in the top 25 in the CU record after only two seasons. He'll do well in The League. Congratulations, KD! (8%, 26 Votes)

CU remains ranked in the AP poll (at No. 24). What about the ranking do you find most surprising?
  • That the national pollsters actually recognized just how good No. 2 Kansas is, and didn't penalize CU for taking on a top team on the road in non-conference play (41%, 103 Votes)
  • That this is the fifth straight week CU has been ranked - which means that over ten percent of CU's ALL-TIME poll appearances have now taken place over the last month (33%, 81 Votes)
  • That the national pollsters didn't see how bad CU looked against Kansas. No chance this is a Top 25 team right now (26%, 65 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??? 🙂
