Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos to Cornhusker fans: “I just want you around Boulder, raising hell for those guys”
- I just hope that the CU coaches and administrators read this, and put this "bulletin board" material where Buff players and fans can see it, and use it as motivation on September 7th (51%, 143 Votes)
- Like it. For a school which doesn't consider Colorado to be a "rival", the Cornhuskers spend a great deal of time fussing over the Buffs and the games between the two schools (37%, 102 Votes)
- Don't like it. There have been run-ins between fans of the two schools in the past, and an athletic director should know better than to try and stir that pot (12%, 34 Votes)

Daily Camera: "Duty of every CU fan to reflect on whether they can continue to enjoy watching students engaged in violence as entertainment". Thoughts?
- Absurd. I don't know which disgusts me more: Linda Shoemaker's self-promotion of her anti-football cause, or the Daily Camera giving her a platform (66%, 217 Votes)
- While the message may be skewed by politics, the underlying concern is valid - We all need to pushing for as much safety as possible in the game (22%, 72 Votes)
- All I know - You could offer newspapers in Lincoln and Tuscaloosa ten thousand dollars to run this story ... and get no takers (12%, 42 Votes)

CU will play in Ft. Collins in 2020, 2024, 2030, and 2034. Thoughts?
- Getting used to it. At least the games won't be played in Denver anymore. That was the worst part of the deal (41%, 79 Votes)
- Hate it. Why CU continues to give CSU the time of day is beyond me. The end of the contract (2020) should have been the end of the relationship (33%, 64 Votes)
- Like it. There is a nice break in the series between 2020 and 2023 and between 2025 and 2029 to bring back some excitement to the rivalry (26%, 52 Votes)

CU installed as a ten-point favorite against CSU in the Rocky Mountain Showdown. Thoughts?
- About right. I can see the Buffs struggling early with Ram trick plays and the CU players adjusting to new systems, but in the end the Buffs will pull away for a double-digit win (65%, 185 Votes)
- Too low. Mike Bobo is on his way out, and the Mel Tucker Buffs will come out and dominate this game from beginning to end (20%, 56 Votes)
- Too high. Mike Bobo's job is on the line, and will have a month to prepare. The Rams will fight this one to the end (15%, 45 Votes)

Jon Wilner suggests that the Pac-12 play up to four 10:00 a.m. (MT) games per year. Thoughts?
- I like it. As long as there are the restrictions he suggests (like no team has to play more than one a year; schedule set months in advance), I can live with it if it helps to raise the Pac-12 profile (52%, 75 Votes)
- I hate it. While it might bump up the ratings a tad, I remember the 10:00 Friday Nebraska games. Okay for television - lousy for the fans (27%, 39 Votes)
- Not really big on it, but since Wilner has CU as the No. 1 team in men's basketball right now, I'm willing to give him a pass on this one (21%, 29 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??? 🙂
