Which was the biggest story coming out of Colorado on Tuesday?
- That CU legend Ceal Barry announced her retirement. Almost 40 years as a Buff, Ceal went first-class in everything she did, and truly bled black-and-gold (47%, 86 Votes)
- That Colorado governor Jared Polis said he felt there would be a way to let some fans attend games while keeping social distancing guidelines (38%, 69 Votes)
- That the CU football team was 103rd in the nation (11th in the Pac-12) in APR scores ... though somewhat forgivable considering the Buffs went through three coaches in 13 months (15%, 28 Votes)

Which of Jon Wilner's numbers adds the most credibility to the argument that college football will be played by the Pac-12 this fall?
- 0 ... As in the number of Covid-19 deaths reported by the CDC for ages 15-24 in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Oregon, Utah and Washington (53%, 91 Votes)
- 300 ... As in 300 million dollars, on average, Pac-12 schools will lose if students are not on campus this fall (31%, 54 Votes)
- 80 ... As in the percentage of athletic budgets which are dependent (media, ticket sales, donations) on football. No football = massive cuts for Olympic sports (16%, 27 Votes)

Pat Howell: A regional conference schedule for CU in 2020 "could be fun". Your thoughts?
- I could see it, but if - and only if - the rest of the nation is doing something similar, or if California (and/or Oregon and Arizona) shut down and a number of Pac-12 schools aren't playing at all (63%, 128 Votes)
- Definitely disagree. CU, with its record the past 15 years, is already considered to be a lower rung Power Five school. A schedule against almost all Mountain West schools? Very bad optics (26%, 53 Votes)
- Agree. Playing CSU, Air Force, and Wyoming would generate great local interest, as would games against Utah, BYU and Boise State (11%, 21 Votes)

What would be your reaction to a Pac-12 only schedule (from a competitive standpoint for CU)?
- I like it. Trading two road games (including a very difficult game against Texas A&M) for games against Oregon State and Cal? Not a bad trade off (40%, 52 Votes)
- Never gonna happen. The Pac-12 is isolated (and ignored nationally) enough as it is. Conference-only games will only help keep the Pac-12 from national relevance (31%, 40 Votes)
- I would not be a fan. Two of the games given up would be against Mountain West opponents - two games Buff fans are counting on to help the Buffs get to six wins and bowl eligibility (29%, 39 Votes)

Report: SEC schools may allow student-athletes to return to practices as early as June 1st. Thoughts?
- I just hope that Pac-12 leaders (and leaders in state's with Pac-12 teams) will watch what happens closely, and learn how best to protect their student-athletes - and make the season a reality (44%, 59 Votes)
- Not a surprise. The SEC drives the college football bus. Other conferences can either jump on board ... or be left behind (40%, 53 Votes)
- I don't see it actually happening. There are still too many questions to be answered before students - or student-athletes - should be back on any campus (16%, 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??? 🙂
