"Buffs All In" has donor matches of up to $200,000 if goals are met - Thoughts?
- Let's watch the numbers. The website already shows over 45 donors - Will they get to 250? To 300? And will those donors step up and create a meaningful "Buffs All In" Day March 31st? (50%, 3 Votes)
- I like it. A proven method of getting new donors is to have matching funds when goals are met. I hope that Buff fans step up, and get that extra $200,000 donated (33%, 2 Votes)
- Nice to have a fundraiser going, but $200,000 - even if the goals are met, are peanuts. CU needs million-dollar donors, not groups of $50 donors. A sad commentary on the state of CU athletics (17%, 1 Votes)

CU has 27 non-Power Four transfers, coming to Boulder with "chips on their shoulders". Thoughts?
- We'll see. If the lack of a spring Transfer Portal helps bring the team together sooner, perhaps having a roster filled with players wanting to show other schools what they missed will help (41%, 42 Votes)
- Means nothing. Having a chip on your shoulder, and doing something about it, are two different things. If CU's lines are getting pushed around, "want to" will easily lose out to "can" (33%, 34 Votes)
- I like it. Last season, the Buffs emphasized Power Four transfers, with disastrous results. Better to have players glad to be here than players who think they deserve better than Colorado (26%, 27 Votes)

How would you rate the CU defensive roster as spring practices resume?
- About the same as last season - which isn't saying a great deal. CU may have to hope that they can outscore other teams this fall if they want to have a chance at a bowl game (65%, 70 Votes)
- A strength. The edge rushers and defensive backs are good, and the linebacker room has improved significantly over last season (19%, 21 Votes)
- A weakness. Hard to believe, but one of the worst defenses in the nation last year may be just as bad this fall. No defensive tackle talent and a thin linebacker corps will doom the Buffs this fall (16%, 17 Votes)

FanDuel has CU's odds to win the Big 12 at 100:1, worst in the Big 12. What does that tell you?
- It tells me that Coach Prime and his staff have their work cut out for them. I hope that they are using spring practices to get the most out of this roster. Plenty of time to figure out how to win (57%, 61 Votes)
- It tells me that CU fans have been looking at the roster and coaching staff with black-and-gold colored glasses. Vegas knows: CU is in disarray, and has little going for it in 2026 (29%, 31 Votes)
- It tells me that Vegas has been paying too much attention to the top teams, and not doing a deep dive into every team. This roster may not win the Big 12, but it's not at the bottom of the league (14%, 15 Votes)

Other than winning, what to you would be the most important factor in improving the Events Center experience?
- Better fund the programs overall. CU is last in the Big 12 in expenditures on basketball. When basketball becomes a priority for the administration, it will become a priority for the Buff Nation (76%, 71 Votes)
- Getting the students back involved. Remember when CU paid for students to go to Vegas to cheer for the Buffs? Giveaways (read: food) or ticket incentives - get student butts in the seats (15%, 14 Votes)
- Upgrade the seating. The CEC is almost 50 years old, and has seen little in the way of improvements. Create better seating, which will draw in more fans (and more ticket revenue) (9%, 8 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??? 🙂
