CU to conduct an open practice this Saturday, April 9th (11:15 a.m.). Thoughts?
  • I just hope that all of the Buff fans who have complained about CU not being more open with their practices show up. If there are 200 fans there, CU can (rightly) say, "What's the point?" (72%, 123 Votes)
  • I'm not sure if watching a spring practice is the equivalent to watching paint dry ... but it's close. I have little interest in watching players walk through drills two weeks into spring practices (22%, 37 Votes)
  • I'll be there! It's been four months since we've had the chance to be in Folsom Field to watch our Buffs. Yes, it's just a practice, but it's a chance to see the Buffs and support the team! (6%, 12 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from defensive lineman Terrance Lang do you find to be the most interesting/enlightening?
  • “There was a lot of plays I left on the field but I’m working with coach Chatman now to clean up, to work on finishing on the quarterback and actually making plays" (78%, 134 Votes)
  • “I’ve got the perspective of so many different good coaches and I can take all of that and apply it in one ... you’ve got to be able to adjust to change. So that’s what we’re doing" (11%, 19 Votes)
  • “I never thought I’d be here for six seasons, but at the end of the day, I feel like everything happens for a reason. I just look at it as a chance to grow and learn that much more" (11%, 18 Votes)

Karl Dorrell: “In drills we have to slow down the pace so we’re getting quality reps instead of quantity". Thoughts on this quote?
  • Nothing to see here. As Dorrell noted, almost every team in the country has depth issues in the spring. Let's not make more of this than need be (40%, 75 Votes)
  • Trying to see this as a positive. CU may well have to dip into the Transfer Portal to supplement the roster over the summer. Time to weed out the players the Buffs won't be able to use this fall (34%, 64 Votes)
  • Certainly a red flag. It's not enough that CU has had some of its most talented players leave, but now the spring practices are compromised. It seems CU's chances of 2022 success are dimming (26%, 47 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from running back Alex Fontenot do you find to be the most encouraging?
  • “If it was just us three, we could get it done as an offense. That’s the confidence I have in our room. So it’s really no worries that the numbers are down because the talent is still there" (56%, 84 Votes)
  • "All that matters is that I’m here; I’ve got to get the work done. Nobody is going to help me but myself, but I can’t think about (the others who left)" (38%, 56 Votes)
  • "I haven’t been out here. I’ve got to prove myself all over again in a way. I’ve got to show that this injury hasn’t affected me. I feel that’s what I’ve done; just keep going" (6%, 9 Votes)

Which of these former Buffs who found homes in Group of Five programs do you find to be the most surprising?
  • Punter Josh Watts (N/A) - The No. 6 punter in nation has yet to find a new home ... is that even possible? I can't believe there isn't a school who couldn't use Watts' services in 2022 (57%, 108 Votes)
  • Running back Ashaad Clayton (Tulane) - The former four-star running back has yet to live up to his potential. Sorry to see him go (26%, 49 Votes)
  • Wide receiver La'Vontae Shenault (Alabama State) - Another former four-star prospect, he never lived up to his promise - or the results of his brother (15%, 28 Votes)
  • Defensive lineman Lloyd Murray (Sam Houston) - I thought he would amount to more at CU ... and the Buffs could always use more help on the defensive line (2%, 5 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??? 🙂
