Offensive line coach Kyle DeVan is looking for versatility on the line by preparing players to play multiple positions. Thoughts?
  • Considering how bad the line played last season, I'm willing to give DeVan the benefit of the doubt ... for a game or two. If the line isn't playing better, my opinion will change (65%, 95 Votes)
  • “You play the best five or the best six ... You’re not pigeon-holed where he’s your fifth-best or your eighth-best offensive lineman, but he’s the only one that plays left tackle" - Makes sense (25%, 36 Votes)
  • Not a big fan. More than any other unit on the team, the offensive line has to play as one. By not having continuity in your starting five, you are not putting your best unit on the field (10%, 15 Votes)

To you, what is the best storyline of CU's Fall Camp?
  • That it sounds like both lines are stronger and deeper. If the Buffs are going to go bowling this fall, it all starts in the trenches. Here's hoping that the line coaches have CU ready to compete (68%, 175 Votes)
  • That there have been no reports of any major injuries (at least as far as we know). For the Buffs to be successful, they will need to stay healthy. So far, so good (21%, 53 Votes)
  • That there are two quality quarterbacks in J.T. Shrout and and Brendon Lewis - a far cry better than CU's quarterback situation last fall, when it was Lewis ... and hope he doesn't get hurt (11%, 29 Votes)

Senior defensive lineman Janaz Jordan dismissed from the team. Thoughts?
  • A part-time contributor on a unit which is perhaps the most talented and deepest on the team. Hate to lose a senior, but, if there had to be a loss on the team, this may hurt the least (36%, 92 Votes)
  • La'Vontae Shenault got about six chances to make things right, but Jordan is dismissed from the team? I hope this is nothing bad, but it seems like a harsh penalty for a longtime Buff (34%, 87 Votes)
  • A significant blow in an important position. Sorry to see him go, but will withhold judgment until there is more information (if ever) as to which of the "team rules" were violated (30%, 78 Votes)

Colorado football players launch the "Boulder NIL Club" seeking donations for Buff football players. Thoughts?
  • It's fine, but it's small potatoes. When will Jeremy Dougerty and friends launch their Collective? That's what CU will need to be competitive for recruits and transfers (56%, 111 Votes)
  • I like it. CU players taking the initiative (with a website format used by other schools, including Oregon). Not sure how successful it will be at CU, but I'm glad they're trying (32%, 64 Votes)
  • I'm not a fan. Sure, you can get a Laviska Shenault jersey or a dinner with some players, but this just seems wrong to me. It's the way of the world now, but that doesn't make it right (12%, 22 Votes)

Both ESPN SP+ and Jon Wilner's final preseason win total projections have CU coming in at 3-9. Thoughts?
  • Not to put too much pressure on the first game, but if CU can't overcome TCU (5-7 last year; new coach), it's hard to see the Buffs beating more than three other teams on their schedule (44%, 126 Votes)
  • Sorry, but Buff fans have been seeing the world through black-and-gold colored glasses. You can't be terrible, lose your best players, and expect better results. It's going to be a long year (30%, 86 Votes)
  • It's been a long nine months, but I'm glad the CU bashing is about to come to an end. National publications don't do their homework when it comes to schools like CU - Shock the world, Buffs! (26%, 72 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??? 🙂
