USC & UCLA on pace for worst football/basketball combined record since World War II. Thoughts?
- Not sure if it's good or bad, but I'm certainly okay with seeing haughty Trojan and Bruin fans sit down and shut up for a change (56%, 148 Votes)
- Good news for CU. With the Trojans and Bruins down, the opportunity is there for Colorado to fill the void and regain national prominence (27%, 70 Votes)
- Bad news for CU ... and the rest of the Pac-12. With USC football and UCLA basketball down, the reputation of - and revenue for - the Pac-12 are diminished. To be the best you have to beat the best. (17%, 44 Votes)

Buffs receive a commitment from graduate transfer offensive tackle Arlington Hambright. Thoughts?
- Great news! A 6'5", 308-pound offensive tackle with Power-Five conference experience? Sounds like a perfect fit. Welcome, Mr. Hambright! (49%, 175 Votes)
- Good news. I do appreciate how this coaching staff is filing gaps in the lineup, looking to find ways to win this fall, not just looking to build for future years (46%, 164 Votes)
- Not really news. I'm grateful for the commitment, but we're talking about a player who went the JUCO route, was a part-time starter, and has injury issues ... fingers crossed. (5%, 21 Votes)

Which behavior this past week do you find to be the LEAST surprising (or, to put it another way, the most consistent with prior behavior)
- Nebraska's Scott Frost setting up a star running back with an attorney, then claiming he went all last fall not knowing the player had any legal problems (39%, 144 Votes)
- Three CU Board of Regents voting against salaries for assistant coaches (39%, 143 Votes)
- Arizona parts way with yet another assistant for violating NCAA rules ... and then reasserting its support for head coach Sean Miller (11%, 42 Votes)
- Oregon spending more money to part ways with Jim Leavitt than CU will pay its top five assistants this fall - combined (11%, 38 Votes)

Rate your confidence level in CU's offensive line, 2019:
- Medium. I do like the returning experience (and that doesn't include former four-star prospect Jacob Moretti). Chances are good that this unit will be better - I'm cautiously optimistic (63%, 280 Votes)
- Low. Hate to say it, but we're still talking about a unit which was 127th in the nation in tackles for loss allowed. It's going to take a year or two to turn this unit around (25%, 114 Votes)
- High. Four returning starters to go with - finally - a decent offensive line coach. This unit will surprise this fall (12%, 54 Votes)

Buffs take out Sun Devils, 77-73, for fourth straight win. Thoughts?
- All I know is that CU has its first conference four-game winning streak since 2006, and are back to .500 in Pac-12 play. I'm just enjoying the ride (41%, 107 Votes)
- Impressed, but still somewhat skeptical. Injuries continue to mount. Happy about the recent success, but not sure if it can be sustained (32%, 83 Votes)
- Loving it! The team is playing with, as Tad Boyle puts it, "toughness", and has a real chance to finish in the top four of the conference and get a bye in the Pac-12 tournament (27%, 69 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??? 🙂
