Colorado 24, No. 22 Iowa State 17. Thoughts?
- A huge win! Not only did the Buffs pick up a win over a ranked team, but they won with contributions from both offense and defense. Great win! (48%, 126 Votes)
- I don't know what this win means for next week, or next year. I'm just going to celebrate the Buffs picking up a win by playing a complete game. Go Buffs! (42%, 109 Votes)
- A nice win, to be sure, but let's not put too much emphasis on the victory. Iowa State was short-handed, but still had their way with the Buff defense for much of the game (10%, 27 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for the Black Out game against No. 22 Iowa State (Saturday, 1:30 p.m., MT, ESPN)
- Let's call this breakout Saturday. The Buffs finally get it together on both sides of the ball ... and for forty minutes. Buffs send Folsom Field crowd home happy with a win (52%, 62 Votes)
- Another close game; another close loss. The Buffs have been playing right to - or just below - their level of competition. Buffs have their chances, but the Cyclones get the win (30%, 36 Votes)
- CU hasn't been able to maintain 14-0 leads the past two weeks. What will happen if they fall behind early to Iowa State? I cringe at the thought. ISU pulls away for a big win (18%, 22 Votes)

Which of the following Big 12 games this weekend for you will hold the most interest?
- No. 21 Arizona State at Utah (Saturday, 8:15 p.m., MT, ESPN). Two 4-1 teams. One will be exposed Saturday night as a pretender; likely no longer a contender (75%, 64 Votes)
- No. 18 BYU at Arizona (Saturday, 6:00 p.m., MT, ESPN2). Arizona has been circled on the calendar as one of the Buffs' most winnable games ... But Arizona could be 5-1 come Saturday night (16%, 14 Votes)
- TCU at Kansas State (Saturday, 1:30 p.m., MT, Fox). TCU is a good team, and is favored. Is it possible that preseason Big 12 favorite Kansas State could be a 2-5 team come Saturday night? (9%, 7 Votes)

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? (72%, 63 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) (11%, 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)

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.
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!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
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??? 🙂
