Rate your interest in CU athletes competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics
  • Medium. There are some events in the Winter Olympics which are worth watching, and I'll check headlines to see if any of my Buffs are medal worthy (43%, 10 Votes)
  • Low. I don't pay much attention to the Winter Olympics, and the fact is half of CU's Olympians are competing for other countries. I may read a story if a Buff wins a medal, but that's about it (30%, 7 Votes)
  • High. I enjoy the Olympics, and it makes it all the more fun to have CU athletes competing. I'll be paying attention to see if any Buffs make a podium (27%, 6 Votes)

CBS Sports Big 12 Power Rankings: CU rated No. 12. Thoughts?
  • About right. There are improvements to the roster, to be sure, but this is still a remade roster coming off of a 3-9 season. Moving from 15th to 12th is still an upgrade from 2025 (53%, 61 Votes)
  • Too high. If we are being honest here, there is reason to believe that the Buffs are about as good talent wise as last year, with a more difficult schedule. The Buffs won't escape the bottom tier (27%, 31 Votes)
  • Too low. "Losing Jordan Seaton was a crushing blow" - just shows how little homework the reporters have done. No effort to see how deep and talented the roster has become. Prove 'em wrong, Buffs! (20%, 24 Votes)

Signing Day loss. Three-star wide receiver Xavier McDonald signs with James Madison. Thoughts?
  • What really disappoints me is that this was supposed to be a package deal, with four-star Class of '27 DB Dolph McDonald set to join his brother at CU. Now both are off the board (47%, 66 Votes)
  • Not concerned. McDonald has been a commit since December, and has been recruited over since he committed. CU is very deep in the WR room. Fine with opening up another scholarship (37%, 52 Votes)
  • A loss. If a player would rather play for James Madison than Colorado, what does that tell you about the perception of the CU in the high school ranks. Not pleased (16%, 22 Votes)

CU will play Northwestern in its 2025 temporary stadium, with the new stadium being opened against Penn State. Thoughts?
  • Sounds like it was a matter of the stadium not being ready - regardless of the September opponent. Sorry Buff fans going to the game won't get to see the new stadium (62%, 75 Votes)
  • Good news for the Buffs. A smaller stadium, with fewer fans (the opener for the new stadium will be a guaranteed sellout). Any advantage is a positive for my Buffs (30%, 36 Votes)
  • Kind of slap in the face for CU. Guess the Buffs are a big enough draw to be worthy of a stadium opening. Hope the Buffs use the slight as a chip on their shoulders come September (8%, 10 Votes)

CU picks up a late Recruiting Class of 2026 commitment from wide receiver Jacob Swain. Thoughts?
  • This is the second late commit (RB Cam Newton being the other) who had offers from all three service academies. Leadership was an issue for the 2025 CU team. I believe that issue is being addressed (44%, 49 Votes)
  • A three-star all-state (Texas, no less) wide receiver who averages 22.3 yards per catch? Sounds good to me. If Coach Prime and OC Marion on are on board, so am I (40%, 44 Votes)
  • Swain wasn't even rated by 247 Sports, and had only a handful of other significant offers. This late in the recruiting cycle, you have to wonder what we're missing (and perhaps CU is missing, too) (16%, 18 Votes)

  1. Stuart:

    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.

  2. 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!!

  3. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  4. 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??? 🙂
