Do you think that the media "discovering" that Coach Prime is cancer-free will have an impact on the media's view of CU's chances this fall?
  • No, it's too late in the off-season for prognosticators to change their outlook on CU. They see CU as a 3-9 team which marginally improved its roster, and has a tough schedule. All in, all done (51%, 54 Votes)
  • No, because they really don't understand how much CU was hurt last spring/summer by Coach Prime's absence. This team - from all accounts - is closer and more determined than last year's team (44%, 46 Votes)
  • Yes, once they understand that Coach Prime is healthy, has put together a solid recruiting, and has been in Boulder, they'll acknowledge that CU has more going for it this fall (5%, 5 Votes)

Can CU replicate the efforts of the 2016 Buffs, and go from "worst-to-first" in 2026?
  • Yes. Okay, perhaps not all the way to first, but from 15th to 5th? I can see it. This is a much better team than last year, and I believe in the combination of OC Brennan Marion and QB Julian Lewis (52%, 58 Votes)
  • I would like to think it's possible, with Coach Prime healthy, but CU's killer schedule will make the difference. The Buffs will be improved, but it won't make much difference in the wins column (29%, 32 Votes)
  • No. Let's be realistic. CU has some talent, but last year's team had talent, and got clubbed in the last five games by an average score of 40-15. Coach Prime's (likely) last season will be tough (19%, 22 Votes)

With the addition of two linebackers and a wide receiver, CU's Recruiting Class of 2027 is up to 18 members. Thoughts?
  • Having Coach Prime in Boulder this spring/summer is going to pay real dividends for the team this fall. Coach Prime is showing he wants to stay at CU - that's going to help this fall and beyond (47%, 45 Votes)
  • It's nice to see CU back in the national picture (Class ranked 35th nationally; 4th in the Big 12). Hopefully, the Buffs will be able to hang onto some of the higher rated members of the Class (42%, 40 Votes)
  • In an off-season with CU being picked last in the Big 12, having the CU coaching staff put together a solid Recruiting Class is a silver lining in a grey spring/summer (11%, 11 Votes)

What to you is the most interesting aspect of the Big 12 Media Days (July 7th-8th)?
  • That this means we are getting closer to actual football. Not expecting any quotable quotes from Media Days, but Media Days means that real football is right around the corner (55%, 34 Votes)
  • Nothing. An early July media event in Texas, with coaches and players talking about nothing in particular. Color me disinterested (35%, 22 Votes)
  • That CU is taking three defensive backs to Frisco - Ben Finneseth, Naeten Mitchell, and Cree Thomas. Hoping this means Coach Prime has confidence in his defensive backfield (10%, 6 Votes)

CU finishes 53rd in the Learfield Cup Final standings. Thoughts?
  • What disappoints me is that CU finished 14th in the Big 12. Yes, the Buffs were within ten spots of four other Big 12 schools, but this is embarrassing (56%, 40 Votes)
  • Not surprising, considering CU is on the low end of competitive sports. The Cup is usually won by the likes of Michigan and Stanford, who compete in almost every collegiate sport (26%, 19 Votes)
  • Surprised that CU finished that low, considering how well CU did in sports like women's lacrosse, women's basketball and women's soccer. CU needs to improve (vastly) on the men's side (18%, 13 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??? 🙂
