CU releases its 2026 schedule. Thoughts?
  • Coach Prime is going to have to bring this overhauled roster together quickly. Hopefully, with Coach Prime healthy, and no spring transfer portal to dilute the roster, that will happen (76%, 152 Votes)
  • It's the opposite of last season, when CU opened with four of five games at home. If the Buffs can survive the first half, the second half of the season provides opportunities (18%, 36 Votes)
  • Since we already knew who the opponents would be, you can't really gripe about the difficulty. But the Big 12 giving CU a road game to start, after facing two road non-conference games, seems harsh (6%, 11 Votes)

Can CU and Coach Prime replicate what Curt Cignetti and Indiana did this season?
  • There's always hope. Oregon's roster had 55 blue chip players, and still got smoked. Cignetti is a unicorn. CU can (and should) try to build its program on the Indiana model (starting with new $$$) (50%, 97 Votes)
  • No. While Coach Prime has given Buff fans hope with the hiring of Brennan Marion, he hasn't gotten rid of other poor coaches, and hasn't demonstrated he can build a team in an off-season (38%, 75 Votes)
  • Yes. The template is there. You can build through the Portal, and, if you have the right combination of players and coaching, anything can happen (12%, 23 Votes)

CU receives a late Class of 2026 commitment from Texas running back Cam Newton. Thoughts?
  • Too bad he's not related to the other Cam Newton, but he at least already has a memorable name. This may turn out to be a reach, but I see no downside in picking up another back to develop (37%, 57 Votes)
  • A Texas running back with over 5,000 rushing yards? One who will fit in perfectly in Coach Marion's "Go-Go" offense? Sounds like a perfect fit to me (37%, 57 Votes)
  • Ummm ... Newton had no Power Four offers, so there has to be something else going on here. Glad he was getting academy and Ivy League offers (smart kid), but not holding out much hope for stardom (26%, 39 Votes)

CU's transfer list hits 43 with the addition of two Big Ten players ... including Jordan Seaton's cousin. Thoughts?
  • I'm liking how CU is filling holes in the depth chart. CU was hurt late last season with poor depth at several positions. Hopefully, these signees will help add quality depth (57%, 96 Votes)
  • It's been a great weekend, with seven new Buffs added, including a huge nose tackle, two 6'2" cornerbacks, and two offensive lineman. Not sure how much longer this will go on, but I like it (30%, 50 Votes)
  • The signing of Jordan Seaton's cousin is a cute story, but, like the rest of these late signees, won't matter much when we get to September. I'd rather have Seaton, thank you very much (13%, 22 Votes)

CU picks up four Saturday commitments in positions of need. Thoughts?
  • Not looking for starters at this point, but players who can fill the roster in position of need. A backup tackle, a huge (376 pound) nose tackle, a tall corner, and running back. Not a bad day overall (59%, 89 Votes)
  • A nice day for the Buff Nation. A large offensive tackle, a huge nose tackle, a large cornerback, and a running back. Just what the doctor - and Buff fans - wanted (33%, 50 Votes)
  • Guess we're down to scraping the bottom of the barrel. Transfers who have had little playing time, and are not highly rated. Guess we're done hoping for any potential starters out of the Portal (8%, 12 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??? 🙂
