What was the best news coming out of Pac-12 Media Day?
- That Darrin Chiaverini was named as assistant head coach. Demoted from offensive coordinator, it's nice to see that Mel Tucker understands Chiaverini's importance (especially in recruiting) to CU (51%, 141 Votes)
- That the Pac-12 championship game will be moving to Las Vegas. The game in San Francisco was not well-attended, but the game in Vegas most certainly will be (which can only help the Pac-12's image) (25%, 70 Votes)
- That Laviska Shenault was the only unanimous first-team All-Pac-12 selection. Considering some of the talent in the conference, it's quite the honor for Shenault to be the sole unanimous pick (24%, 65 Votes)

CU men's basketball to open Pac-12 play with three games at home; finish with three games on the road. Thoughts?
- I'm just glad that the Buffs - after starting the last four seasons on the road - have a chance to open Pac-12 play with some home games (49%, 78 Votes)
- Love it! Getting off to a fast start in Pac-12 play has eluded the Buffs over the past few seasons, and this schedule will allow the Buffs a chance at a quick positive opening to Pac-12 play (27%, 42 Votes)
- Not a big fan. This is a CU team which is going to contend for an NCAA tournament berth. Late season road games (and potential losses) could do significant harm to CU's chances at March Madness (24%, 38 Votes)

- Laviska Shenault: "From the day I got here, you can say he’s checked every box to get better, or what you’re supposed to do as a young person becoming older" (22%, 45 Votes)
- Nate Landman: "He’s got a good balance between being serious and being goofy, When stuff needs to be done, Steven does it; and when it’s time to have a good time, Steven’s there, too" (6%, 13 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??? 🙂
