Will CSU have more fans at the RMS than will CU?
- No. CU still has the ticket lead, and some CSU ticket sales are to CU fans looking for cheaper tickets (56%, 134 Votes)
- Yes. But only because 30% of CU season ticket holders opted out buying tickets for the game (25%, 59 Votes)
- Doesn't really matter. CU fans are louder anyway ... and will have more reasons to cheer (19%, 45 Votes)

The loss of starting left tackle Jeromy Irwin ...
- Significant. Irwin started every game last year, and was being counted on to help the Buffs' resurgence (47%, 167 Votes)
- Important, but not the end of the world. Kronshage has experience, and the team has time to adjust (45%, 160 Votes)
- Devastating. It's hard to see CU being competitive in the Pac-12 without Liufau's back being protected by Irwin (8%, 29 Votes)

The most disconcerting aspect of the UMass game ...
- That the defense allowed some wide open receivers early. If UMass hit some of those passes ... (48%, 149 Votes)
- That Sefo made some poor decisions, and the passing game struggled with Spruce double-covered (21%, 65 Votes)
- Nothing. I'll take 48-14 every week, thank you (19%, 59 Votes)
- That special teams are an adventure, especially the punting game (12%, 39 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??? 🙂
