Washington fires head coach Jimmy Lake. How do you think it will affect the CU/Washington game this weekend?
- It won't/shouldn't make any difference. It games like this, it comes down to who wants it more. It's senior day for the Buffs - hopefully they will want it more (67%, 187 Votes)
- It hurts the Buffs. Washington still has a bowl bid to play for, and now know their coach's fate. They will rally - and that hurts CU's chances (23%, 64 Votes)
- It helps the Buffs. The Huskies played inspired ball for their interim coach to open their game against ASU, but couldn't prevent the loss. Players will be distracted this week - that helps CU (10%, 30 Votes)

Colorado squanders a 20-7 second quarter lead, giving up 37 unanswered points in a 44-20 loss. Thoughts?
- The game represents pretty clearly where the program is right now ... good enough to compete for about a half. If CU hadn't settled for field goals in the first half - who knows? (42%, 126 Votes)
- Karl Dorrell has coached seven seasons, and this is the first without a bowl bid. This season is lost, but we'll see what the (hopefully new) offensive coaches come up with this off-season (34%, 104 Votes)
- Couldn't be more embarrassed/disgusted. I don't know why any Buff fan would want to continue to support this team. One of the worst teams in the FBS ... again (24%, 73 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado at UCLA (7:10 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks)
- I can't see why this is a 17-point spread ... but I also have a hard time seeing the Buffs winning this game. I would bet on the Buffs to cover ... but not to win (49%, 128 Votes)
- The Colorado defense is 0-for-the-season against experienced quarterbacks. DTR is a senior, and the Bruins have had a bye week to prepare. I'm afraid this is going to be a blowout loss (26%, 69 Votes)
- I may be looking at this through black-and-gold colored glasses, but the Buffs played their best game of the year last weekend, and can catch a Bruin team looking ahead to the USC game. Buffs win! (25%, 64 Votes)

Which Pac-12 game (other than CU at UCLA) are you most interested in this weekend?
- Washington State at Oregon (Sat., 8:30 p.m., MT, ESPN). The game which likely decides the Pac-12 North - and it will be over around 2:00 ET. Well done, Pac-12! (55%, 108 Votes)
- Arizona State at Washington (Sat., 5:00 p.m., MT, FS1). Two disappointing teams ... and the Buffs get Washington at home next weekend. Are the 4-5 Huskies ready to pack it in? (37%, 73 Votes)
- Utah at Arizona (Sat., noon, MT, Pac-12 Networks). Can the Wildcats make it two wins in a row (or, better stated, can the Wildcats show that they can keep the score close)? (6%, 12 Votes)
- Stanford at Oregon State (Sat., 3:30 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks). Last stand for the 3-6 Cardinal, third chance for the 5-4 Beavers to become bowl eligible (2%, 4 Votes)

Buffs defeat Montana State in the opener, 94-90, in double overtime. Thoughts?
- I like the resiliency the Buffs showed. Down 13 points in the second half (and five points with 53 seconds to play), the Buffs didn't fold. This bodes well for the Buffs in games to come (49%, 130 Votes)
- I'm just glad CU didn't absorb what could be called a "bad loss" when NCAA tournament bids are being considered (and glad Stuart doesn't have to hear it from his MSU friends) (39%, 104 Votes)
- It's going to be a long season. The Buffs struggled with their offense, committed too many turnovers, and the big men got into foul trouble early. The freshmen will be good ... but not right away (12%, 34 Votes)

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.
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??? 🙂
