With Pac-12 non-conference games canceled, CU's schedule currently has Oregon as the first game, in Boulder, on September 26th. We will be watching CU v. Oregon on that day?
  • No, because I can't see a way for collegiate athletics to take place in 2020. I am hopeful that there will be spring football, but I'm not even sure about that right now (48%, 103 Votes)
  • No, because the schedule will be rearranged. The Buffs will play the Ducks this fall, but it won't necessarily be on September 26th (27%, 58 Votes)
  • Yes. Baseball is starting up this week, with the NBA, NHL and NFL soon to follow. Collegiate athletic departments can't live without football, so there will be football (25%, 55 Votes)

Which of the three most recent recruits has you most excited?
  • Four-star forward Quincy Allen - I understand it's early, but with Allen and Lawson Lovering, CU currently has the No. 6 Recruiting Class in the nation. Well done, Tad & Co.! (58%, 136 Votes)
  • Defensive lineman Tyas Martin - I don't know much about rating recruits, but I do know that a 6'3", 318-pound high school senior is a large young man, and his offer sheet reflects his talent (36%, 83 Votes)
  • Defensive back Tyrin Taylor - A 6'2" versatile defensive back? A commit in a position of need is very welcome. A "long corner" is a necessity in today's college game (6%, 14 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from three-star defensive back Tyrin Taylor. Thoughts?
  • Sounds like CB's coach Demetrice "Meat" Martin was the driving force in getting Taylor. Love this recruit - this pickup helps to give us more optimism about this Class (56%, 109 Votes)
  • CU doesn't get many North Carolina recruits (one in the last decade), so I guess my first thought is to wonder whether we will be able to hang onto this recruit until Signing Day (25%, 49 Votes)
  • The only two Power-Five offers were from Virginia Tech and Kansas. Not to be a wet blanket, but I'm not super excited about this recruit (19%, 35 Votes)

Which of the following statements from Stewart Mandel's (The Athletic) CU preview do you find to be the most encouraging?
  • "CU is fortunate to have veteran leaders ... and is actually in fairly decent shape with at least the first stringers at most position groups" (56%, 108 Votes)
  • "A shorter schedule may actually work to Dorrell's benefit ... He can use all the time he can to get to know his players, and for them to know him" (26%, 51 Votes)
  • "Winning half or more of CU's games for the first time in four years would be an impressive accomplishment given the circumstances" (18%, 34 Votes)

Which of the following Rick George press conference quotes do you find to be most interesting?
  • "I think we're ready to have a fall football season ... We've been working incredibly hard to put together the right protocols ... We are ready to play" (58%, 101 Votes)
  • On cutting sports: "I can’t speak for the rest of the country but I can speak for Colorado in that it’ll be the last choice that we have in cutting sports" (28%, 48 Votes)
  • On being called out by CSU fans: "I’ve read on Twitter on how they feel about me, but (canceling non-conference games) was a decision our conference made and I support our conference’s decision" (14%, 24 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??? 🙂
