CU receives a commitment from defensive back Trustin Oliver. Thoughts?
  • Great news! A quality prospect in a position of need who can contribute immediately. It sounds like he'll have three years of eligibility (perhaps even four), so a great pickup! (46%, 103 Votes)
  • The fact that Oliver didn't qualify out of high school, then went to two different JC's, and still wants to be a Buff ... I'm impressed at his commitment to CU (45%, 101 Votes)
  • Not really news, if you think about it. Oliver was already a member of the CU Recruiting Class of 2019 ... it just took him two extra years to get to Boulder (9%, 20 Votes)

Will you miss the non-conference part of the 2020 schedule?
  • Yes. I was looking forward to watching the Buffs take down the Rams in their home stadium, and take on A&M in College Station (not to mention finally getting revenge against Fresno State!) (67%, 151 Votes)
  • Not really ... because CU already has a tough Pac-12 schedule. Adding two road games to the schedule, including a likely loss at A&M, would not be the best way to kick off the Karl Dorrell era (24%, 55 Votes)
  • Not really ... because the conference schedule is what matters. As we witnessed in the past few years, winning two or three non-conference games didn't get CU to a bowl game (9%, 21 Votes)

Best guess. When will CU take the field, and how many games will the Buffs play this season?
  • Best guess? We won't see football again until September, 2021 (43%, 96 Votes)
  • Ten games next spring. The conference will have extra time to rearrange the schedule for a ten-game slate for every conference team (31%, 69 Votes)
  • Ten games this fall. The schedule will be rearranged so that every Pac-12 team will have five home and five road games, with extra weeks to allow for any postponements (15%, 33 Votes)
  • Nine games this fall. No non-conference games, but the Pac-12 (and the rest of the Power-Five) will strive to have a full conference season this fall (11%, 25 Votes)

Pac-12 announces it will go to a conference-only schedule this fall. Thoughts?
  • It was the only choice. After the Big Ten scrapped its non-conference slate, the dominoes were going to begin to fall. Move on, and hope that there will still be games this fall (58%, 121 Votes)
  • As always, the devil is in the details. The Pac-12 said it will announce the details of the conference-only schedule by July 31st. We'll see what CU (and other teams) are up against then (29%, 60 Votes)
  • It was too early to make that call. Things were much better a month ago, and could be much better a month from now. The Pac-12 - and other conferences - should have waited until the end of July (13%, 29 Votes)

Big Ten announces it will only play conference games this fall. Initial reaction?
  • That this is just a delaying tactic. It won't be long until the entire season is postponed until spring (53%, 120 Votes)
  • If Oregon/Ohio State and Washington/Michigan aren't going to be played, then the rest of the Power Five will soon have to opt for a similar schedule (28%, 64 Votes)
  • CU has one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the nation ... so my first reaction is that if the Pac-12 goes conference only, it will help the Buffs (19%, 43 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??? 🙂
