Defensive line coach Warren Sapp no longer with the team. Thoughts?
  • My issue is more about the timing. Last check, spring practices begin next week. If Sapp was going to leave (and it's not like he took another coaching job), why wait until now to make the move? (53%, 27 Votes)
  • I like it, actually. Coach Prime is coming around to the idea (perhaps too late) of having production over name-recognition in the coaching staff. CU needs teachers, not preachers (47%, 24 Votes)
  • Not a good look. Coach Prime has touted himself as someone with a gold jacket who can teach players how to get to Canton. Now his other two gold jackets (Marshall Faulk) being the third, are gone (0%, 0 Votes)

CUBuffs.com preview: "CU has the deepest running back room in the Coach Prime era at CU, blending experience, youth, power and speed". Thoughts?
  • All I can say is: It had better be the best ever. The focus of the "Go Go" offense is a strong rushing attack. Without it, Buff fans may as well make other plans for late fall weekends (58%, 64 Votes)
  • Not hard to be the best running back room of the Coach Prime era. Kinda like being the best ballerina in Galveston (M*A*S*H* shoutout). Even if this room is average, it will be great by comparison (24%, 26 Votes)
  • I tend to agree. One of the few units on the team with returning talent, the running back room has been supplemented with hand-picked talent by offensive coordinator Brennan Marion. I'm excited (18%, 20 Votes)

CU defensive coordinator Robert Livingston leaving for the Denver Broncos, to be replaced by Chris Marve. Thoughts?
  • It sounds like a bad trade, but I'm okay with it. CU was 121st in the nation in total defense; and 111th in scoring defense. If we're being honest, how much worse can it get? (51%, 81 Votes)
  • Another week, another bad news story for the Buff Nation. Is Coach Prime unable to retain coaches? Can CU not pay for better coaches? A bad look for CU on the eve of Spring Practices (28%, 44 Votes)
  • CU will have 11 new starters on defense, and now a new defensive coordinator. Not instilling much confidence in CU's near future. Perhaps CU can win games 48-44 this fall (21%, 33 Votes)

What is your impression of CU's tight end room in 2026?
  • I'm just glad that Spring practices begin next week, and we finally have football to talk about again ... even if it is about CU tight ends, who have been in witness protection for a decade (50%, 56 Votes)
  • You're kidding, right? Last year, Zach Atkins had 20 catches, and that was only good enough to finish in the Top 20 ... in the Big 12. I'll believe CU has tight ends when I actually see one play (35%, 40 Votes)
  • Optimistic. The tight end room is one of the few on the team with returning players, and I'm excited to see how new OC Brennan Marion will use the tight ends in the new offense (15%, 17 Votes)

Which of the following to you should be AD Fernando Lovo's highest priority?
  • Dealing with CU's $27 million deficit. Spending on facilities would be nice, but CU needs to get back to even first. Oh, and then get more money in the pot for buying better rosters across the board (50%, 60 Votes)
  • Naming rights for Folsom Field and the CEC. CU is leaving money on the table every single year that these facilities go without naming rights. Can't understand why this isn't getting done (38%, 45 Votes)
  • Updating facilities. The CEC and the west side of Folsom need work. Installation of improvements (and premium seating) not only will be popular, but will add much needed revenue (12%, 15 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??? 🙂
