• All of the above. It's all worth trying. I'm just glad to see CU trying new ways to keep fans engaged ... Now, if we can update the band's pregame show, which has been the same since 1980 (sigh!) (100%, 6 Votes)
• "Bands in the Stands" - Live music before the game and during selected times during the game sounds interesting. If it keeps the fans (especially the student section) engaged, then it's a plus (0%, 0 Votes)
• Having a new game announcer (rather than a shrill cheerleader), together with "enhanced video board shows". Can't help but be better than what we've endured (0%, 0 Votes)
• The new pregame street party, with "Ralphie's Road", which will include food trucks, a giant TV, DJ, and interactive games. Get fans revved up before the game! (0%, 0 Votes)

• If ESPN takes away the ticker, then replaces it will a series of promotions for other programming, this will be a distraction, and a net loss. We'll see if there were ulterior motives (58%, 69 Votes)
• Not a fan. I liked being able to track other games (and switch over to exciting finishes). A fan of college football can handle updates from more than one game. Bad move by ESPN (32%, 38 Votes)
• I like it. The scroll has always been a distraction. There are plenty of other ways to track games, so the better coverage of the game I'm trying to watch sounds like a positive move (10%, 11 Votes)

• That the line between 8-4 and 4-8 is a thin one. It's going to come down to coaching and execution. Coach Prime has to prove himself, and his recent history is working against him (45%, 49 Votes)
• That the Buffs are going to be interesting every week. This is going to be hard on the Buff Nation, which has endured more disappointments than pleasant surprises. Perhaps this year is our year (44%, 48 Votes)
• That a good season is there for the taking. Assuming that Weber State (W), Texas Tech (L) and Houston (L) are the three games with bigger spreads, CU needs to go 5-4 in close games to go bowling (11%, 11 Votes)

• What really matters is the loss of Christensen leaving a large hole in an already thin defensive line. Good thing CU has been practicing without Christensen - hopefully they have a good rotation ready (52%, 69 Votes)
• This could only happen to CU. Players are winning lawsuits for extra years all over the country, but in Boulder? No chance. Another example of CU fans not being allowed to have nice things (31%, 41 Votes)
• Not a surprise. Christensen played ten or more games in four different seasons. Just because two of those seasons were at a junior college doesn't mean Christensen is entitled to another season (17%, 23 Votes)

• Personnel on defense. The defensive line - again - is the weakest unit on the team. CU was 133rd in rushing defense last year. Are we sure that the line has improved enough to change that stat? (64%, 131 Votes)
• The coaching staff. Coach Prime remains a wild card, Brennan Marion's offense is unproven at this level, and this time last year DC Chris Marve was an unemployed, fired, failed defensive coordinator (28%, 57 Votes)
• Personnel on offense. Good talent in the skill positions (though I'd rather have quality over quantity). The offensive line? Guilty until proven innocent - much to prove up front (8%, 17 Votes)
