It's time! Your prediction for the first CU/Air Force game in 45 years ...
  • This will play out like the Nebraska game, with the Buff Nation nervous throughout, but second half adjustments again are the key, with the Buffs pulling away for a 7-10 point win (48%, 134 Votes)
  • With all due respect to the Falcons, they haven't beaten a Power-Five school in years. It may be rough early, but this will be a blowout by the fourth quarter (30%, 83 Votes)
  • The Falcons will be rested, prepared, and motivated. I'm very concerned about this game. If the Buffs win (and they may not) it will be a very close win at the end (22%, 61 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??? 🙂
