California governor signs "Fair Pay to Play" law. Thoughts?
  • The law doesn't go into effect until 2023. Here's hoping that the NCAA and lawmakers can reach a compromise by then to keep collegiate athletics competitive (59%, 189 Votes)
  • This will be the death knell for competitive collegiate athletics. Think Laviska Shenault would have left Texas if he could have been paid $25K to be a "spokesman" for an Austin car dealership? (28%, 89 Votes)
  • It's about time. It's only fair for college students to promote themselves and get paid. If this law had been in place for Jeremy Bloom, he could have continued playing for the Buffs (13%, 44 Votes)

Both Arizona and Colorado coaches mum on availability of star players. Thoughts?
  • Not interested. We'll see soon enough who trots out onto the field after the opening kickoff. Buffs need to focus on getting better, regardless of the opposition (68%, 244 Votes)
  • I like it. If Arizona isn't going to disclose if Tate and Taylor are going to play, it makes sense for CU to be coy about the availability of Shenault, Johnson and Miller (23%, 81 Votes)
  • It's silly gamesmanship. The NCAA should have injury disclosure rules like the NFL, rather than playing mind games with the opposition (9%, 33 Votes)

Ohio State races to 38-0 halftime lead in 48-7 thumping of Nebraska. Thoughts?
  • I love it! Nebraska got ESPN's GameDay despite the loss to CU, and was handed its hat on national television. Can't think of a more deserving program to be that embarrassed in prime time! (61%, 261 Votes)
  • Nice to see the Cornhuskers get routed, but it does tend to lessen the significance of CU's win over Nebraska. It just goes to show that Nebraska should never have been ranked in the first place (35%, 150 Votes)
  • I just like that Nebraska (900 wins) was blasted on the same day both Notre Dame (900) and Oklahoma (900) caught Cornhuskers on the all-time wins list. NU will soon be passed by both - deservedly so! (4%, 17 Votes)

Lindy's has CU men's basketball ranked No. 16, winning the Pac-12. Thoughts?
  • Preseason accolades are great, but the proof will be in the pudding. As Tad Boyle put it: "We've got nothing to be cocky about" (64%, 160 Votes)
  • I love it! CU hasn't won a regular season title since 1969 as a member of the Big Eight. It's exciting that this could be the year to break that 50-year drought! (22%, 55 Votes)
  • I just want to see CU ranked in the AP preseason poll (also hasn't happened since 1969). This is the fall of getting rid of long-standing droughts (like the FB team beating No. 24 ASU on the road) (14%, 34 Votes)

Which Saturday Pac-12 game to you holds the most interest?
  • No. 21 USC at No. 17 Washington - Can the Trojans remain undefeated in Pac-12 play with a quarterback (Matt Fink) making his first start? (51%, 131 Votes)
  • Washington State at No. 19 Utah - Both teams are coming off of tough losses. Can the Utes vaunted defense slow down the nation's No.1 passing attack? (19%, 49 Votes)
  • UCLA at Arizona - The Buffs' next opponent taking on the Bruins at home after a bye week. How many yards will Kahlil Tate go for against the UCLA defense? (18%, 45 Votes)
  • None of the above. The Buffs have a bye week, which means I have a bye week. I'll catch up with my team next Saturday v. Arizona (11%, 29 Votes)
  • Stanford at Oregon State - It's still September, but the loser of this game may not win a Pac-12 game this fall (1%, 1 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??? 🙂
