The most significant factor leading to CU's 1-8 record ...
- Talent - or the lack thereof. 28 seniors, with MAYBE one or two draft picks. 'Nuff said. (57%, 98 Votes)
- Injuries. When you start a DB two DAYS after switching him from RB, you get what you get. (31%, 53 Votes)
- Preparation. Buffs out-scored 111-13 in the first quarter. It's on the coaches. (12%, 22 Votes)

NCAA approves paying $2,000 for "full cost-of-attendance"
- Further separation of the "haves" from the "have nots". Will lead to a huge advantage in recruiting for BCS schools. (37%, 28 Votes)
- A good first step for the student-athletes who are generating the money. (36%, 27 Votes)
- Will just lead to more abuse and under-the-table deals for stars. (18%, 14 Votes)
- A joke. Players still not adequately compensated for their revenue-generating efforts. (9%, 7 Votes)

Starting quarterback: Tyler Hansen v. Nick Hirschman
- If Hansen is cleared to play, he should start. The senior gives the Buffs the best opportunity for late season victories. (51%, 89 Votes)
- It's time to start Hirschman. Buff coaches need to see if the red-shirt freshman is a viable candidate for the starting position in 2012. (49%, 85 Votes)

What I took from the lopsided loss to Oregon ...

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??? 🙂
