Stanford football program receives a $50 million gift from a former player. Thoughts?
  • Coach Prime always says that it's not about the money, but how long can CU compete when other programs are finding sugar daddies to fund their NIL and Transfer Portal needs? (71%, 62 Votes)
  • The rich get richer. Sure, Stanford's $40 billion endowment isn't earmarked for athletics, but it's hard not to be jealous of a program which can tap into that kind of money (17%, 15 Votes)
  • I'm just glad Stanford is no longer a conference rival, and CU won't have to compete with players Stanford buys. Then again, Kansas just received a $300 million gift (though not all for football) (12%, 10 Votes)

Coach Prime undergoing a procedure: "Prayerfully I'll be right back at practice tomorrow". Thoughts?
  • Appreciate the coach sharing his status. Hopefully, his hoping to be a practice on Wednesday is a good sign that the procedure is minor, with a quick recovery (61%, 80 Votes)
  • I don't know what "aspiration thrombectomy left popliteal and tibial arteries" means, but it doesn't sound minor to me. Hope this doesn't become the beginning of the end of the Coach Prime era (28%, 37 Votes)
  • What we didn't hear was what the plan is for CU to prepare for ISU, with or without Prime. Not to be insensitive, but Prime has a responsibility to the program to get the team ready (11%, 14 Votes)

Should CU make a change at quarterback, giving the start against Iowa State to Julian Lewis?
  • It depends on whether or not Lewis wants it. He may want to play in only four games this fall to preserve his redshirt. Plus, is it best to throw Lewis in against a ranked team to start? (40%, 80 Votes)
  • No. Salter has had his moments, but the offense has other issues than the quarterback. Changing quarterbacks in early October signals the white flag has gone up on the season ... not a good look (34%, 68 Votes)
  • Yes. It's time. Salter has struggled. Whether it's his fault or Shurmur's fault, this isn't working out. Try something new while where is still a bowl game to play for (26%, 53 Votes)

CU opens as a 4.5-point home underdog to No. 22 Iowa State. Thoughts?
  • Iowa State has proven it can win games against good teams (Kansas State; Iowa). Until the Buffs beat a Power Four team, they will remain deserved underdogs (61%, 89 Votes)
  • I think that Vegas is telling us something. Iowa State was undefeated and ranked 14th, but was still a 1.5-point underdog to Cincinnati. The Buffs shouldn't be afraid of ISU - this is a winnable game (22%, 32 Votes)
  • I guess that means that Vegas sees the Cyclones as about a touchdown favorite at a neutral site. Sounds about right. It's going to be a close game for the Buffs ... again (17%, 24 Votes)

TCU 35, Colorado 21. Thoughts?
  • I'm just throwing this out there, but four turnovers, against a good team, on the road, isn't the way to win. I'd love to see this team play four good quarters of football (52%, 99 Votes)
  • For the second weekend in a row, the Buffs go out to a 14-0 lead. For the second weekend in a row, the Buffs lose. Doesn't get more frustrating than that. It's tough to be a Buff (40%, 77 Votes)
  • Yes, TCU was a 14-point favorite, and yes, TCU won by 14 points, but anyone who watched the game knows it was nowhere near a two-touchdown loss. Plenty for the Buffs to build on (8%, 16 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??? 🙂
