Embree's coaching staff. My first impression ...
- Excellent. Diversity; great recruiters; CU "family" members (49%, 77 Votes)
- Good. A little more experience would have been helpful. (43%, 67 Votes)
- Fair. HC/both coordinators new to their new roles. Scary. (5%, 8 Votes)
- Poor. Too much emphasis on getting ex-Buffs. Embree could have done much better. (3%, 4 Votes)

With Embree on board, and weighing returning talent and the schedule, my early win prediction for 2011 is ...
- 7 wins. Bowl bound! (44%, 90 Votes)
- 6 wins. Getting better, but a sixth straight losing season nonetheless. (32%, 64 Votes)
- 5 or fewer wins. Recovery will take time. (17%, 34 Votes)
- 8 or more wins. The "swagger" is back! (7%, 15 Votes)

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??? 🙂
