Nebraska and Scott Frost under NCAA investigation for improper use of consultants and analysts. Thoughts?
- It doesn't sound as if there is a great deal there, which means there will be no penalties of significance. Bottom line: Frost is just as lousy at cheating as he is at coaching (50%, 139 Votes)
- If the toothless NCAA won't punish the Cornhuskers, I hope that the Big Ten will levy some penalties. Like ASU, Frost and Nebraska blatantly violated the rules and put their players at risk (34%, 94 Votes)
- Kind of disappointed. I was hoping that Frost would still be around for the 2023/24 games v. CU ... He won't be around that long if he keeps giving NU reasons to fire him (16%, 47 Votes)

Which of the quotes from offensive line coach Mitch Rodrigue do you find the most interesting/entertaining?
- "Contrary to popular belief, the offensive line is more important than the quarterback – y’all did know that, right?" (68%, 176 Votes)
- Kary Kutsch is staying at left guard: "If Kary moves to center, I'm going to shoot myself ... He's got a good home, and we have a lot of depth at center" (21%, 55 Votes)
- "Chance Lytle is a tough kid. Eight months ago he had a broken leg, and now he’s practicing … Right tackle, left tackle – we’re just trying to find him a home right now” (11%, 27 Votes)

Five teams from the Pac-12 are ranked in the Associated Press preseason poll. Thoughts?
- Doesn't matter to me until or unless the Buffs are ranked. CU went from nowhere to ranked last year. Perhaps after the upset win over Texas A&M ...? After that, I'll pay attention to the polls! (53%, 115 Votes)
- Pretty good for the conference. Five teams from the Pac-12, same as the SEC and the Big Ten. Looks to me to be a pretty good showing for a conference receiving little national respect (26%, 56 Votes)
- No Pac-12 teams in the top ten? No Pac-12 teams considered to be better than Iowa State, Cincinnati, or North Carolina? Five teams ... but still little national respect (21%, 46 Votes)

Tad Boyle's Buffs have been rolling through their exhibition schedule in Costa Rica. Thoughts?
- With such a young roster, it's great to get the team some playing time together, and a trip to Costa Rica will help the team bond. It's a win/win for the program (73%, 167 Votes)
- Not sure that it's worth the trip. The first two wins were by scores of 79-32 and 104-46. The Buffs would probably get a better test if they stayed home and scrimmaged the CU women's team (17%, 38 Votes)
- Wait, the Buffs are playing? I usually won't pay attention to the basketball team until after football season. Certainly not happening before football season ... (10%, 23 Votes)

CU quarterback J.T. Shrout injured during CU's first scrimmage, hurting his knee in a non-contact injury. Thoughts?
- I figured that Brendon Lewis would likely be the starter, being a dual-threat QB, but now I may have to hope that he can stay healthy for an entire season ... a scary scenario for a running QB (52%, 146 Votes)
- Let's see what happens. Dorrell said: "We're hopeful that it's not too serious ... We're hoping for the best". Fingers crossed until we hear the worst (40%, 111 Votes)
- Another great day for the Buff Nation. Lytle and Noyer transfer out (not to mention two walk-on quarterbacks), leaving us with two scholarship QB's. Chances at a winning season took a huge hit today (8%, 22 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??? 🙂
