POLL OF THE DAY

CU Athletic Director Fernando Lovo: "Our goal has to be playing meaningful games in November and December". Thoughts?

A true statement. With three bowl games in the past 20 seasons, getting to six wins and a bowl bid has to be Job One this fall. "Strive for Six" ... and get there this time!
Seems like a low bar. CU could be playing "meaningful" games in November ... with a 3-6 record, praying for a three-game winning streak. Buffs need to be playing meaningful games from September on
Lovo is preparing us for a tough season. CU's goal needs to be championships, not just having a few meaningful games (to hopefully win) late in the season. Defeatism from the AD - in Year One. Sigh!
