Which of the following factoids about Coach Mac to you is his most enduring legacy?
  • That he showed that you can recruit to Colorado, and that CU can win a national championship and produce national trophy winners, including a Heisman (59%, 125 Votes)
  • That he turned around a moribund program, and despite starting with a 7-25-1 record in his first three seasons, went on to become CU's all-time leader in victories (25%, 54 Votes)
  • That he created a rivalry with Nebraska. CU didn't really have a rivalry in the Big Eight until Coach Mac came along, and he produced generations of "better dead than red" Colorado fans (16%, 33 Votes)

Defensive back Preston Hodge announces he is returning to CU for the 2025 season. Thoughts?
  • Excellent news! Hodge was a Big 12 honorable mention defensive back, even while missing four games. Hodge will help an already strong defensive backfield be dominant this fall (62%, 128 Votes)
  • What stands out for me: Hodge is not only returning, but that he is returning to play for Coach Prime. Folks worrying about CU's Transfer Portal haul are missing the strong core which is returning (34%, 70 Votes)
  • It's great that Hodge is taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility afforded to junior college players, but, if I'm being honest, I'm getting a little tired of six- and seven-year players (4%, 9 Votes)

CU adding to the roster by signing offensive and defensive linemen with playing experience, but little star power. Thoughts?
  • If CU is going to go from good to great, it starts in the trenches. Whether they are future starters or players adding needed depth, I'm glad that Coach Prime is building from the inside out (66%, 125 Votes)
  • Trying not to be too worried, but it seems like the coaching staff is missing on some of the higher-rated transfers. I had hoped that a nine-win season would help CU's appeal in the transfer market (22%, 41 Votes)
  • Not concerned. The transfers who had the greatest impact this past seasons were the ones who had playing experience. Glad to see the coaching staff is following the same pattern this off-season (12%, 24 Votes)

Shedeur on NFL Draft: "What’s meant to happen is gonna happen". Thoughts on where Shedeur might go?
  • My hope is that he (or Travis) are taken with the No. 1 overall pick (whether to Tennessee or in a trade), as CU has never had a No. 1 overall draft pick (49%, 89 Votes)
  • My only concern is that there aren't deals in the works for Coach Prime and Shedeur to go as a package. Happy for Shedeur to get drafted, but I don't want to lose Coach Prime after only two seasons (46%, 85 Votes)
  • My preference would be that he go to a team/division/conference away from my favorite NFL team ... so I don't have to cheer against him on Sundays (5%, 9 Votes)

Are you likely to participate in FanStakes, putting down stakes to try and lure specific prospects to CU?
  • Not likely. This really isn't going to make much difference. With players asking for (and receiving) six figure deals, I can't see my small donation making any difference in getting a player to CU (62%, 96 Votes)
  • Somewhat likely. I guess it depends on the situation, and the prospect. If participation in FanStakes will make a difference, I could be talked into making a donation (28%, 43 Votes)
  • Very likely. This is the way it is. You can't complain about the quality of transfers if you aren't willing to participate. FanStakes gives you the chance to have a say in who CU brings in (10%, 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??? 🙂
