We are now ten weeks out from the season opener. Will CU be playing in Ft. Collins against the Rams on September 5th?
  • No ... with the number of positive tests for players - long before other students get back to campus - I'm finding it harder to believe that there will be games played on college campuses this fall (45%, 87 Votes)
  • Yes ... with between 25% and 50% seating. I can't foresee full stadia this fall, but there will be games ... and there will be fans in the stands (29%, 56 Votes)
  • Yes ... but without fans. With the spike in cases, it seems more and more likely to me that, if the games are to be played, they will be without fans in the stands (26%, 50 Votes)

Which quote from offensive lineman Will Sherman do you find to be the most interesting?
  • "We told each other that there's not going to be a coach that comes in here and saves this program ... We have to do that. We have to set the culture" (54%, 112 Votes)
  • "Since I've been here since 2017, this is probably the most talent and most depth we've had on the O-line ... There's going to be a lot of competition" (42%, 87 Votes)
  • "Now that everybody's (back in Boulder), everybody looks good. I'm pretty excited to see how we look when we get on the field and lead the linemen this year" (4%, 7 Votes)

Which quote from the video interview with defensive end Mustafa Johnson do you find to be the most interesting?
  • "If we can't even really have contact with our own teammates, how are we going to get on the field in a full contact sport and expect to not have contact?" (53%, 87 Votes)
  • "I am real excited to get back (to playing in games) because this is my season that I have to take control of. I know I have to show out, like I have done before" (34%, 56 Votes)
  • "Everyone got tested before they came in, during that two week period before we started working out. They are doing tests regularly. And before we walk in (to the facilities) every day" (13%, 21 Votes)

College Football News has only one Buff (Nate Landman) on its All-Pac-12 team. Thoughts?
  • I guess we should be glad that CU at least had Landman on the list - Arizona; UCLA; Cal; and Arizona State were shut out (and Utah only had one player, tying CU for "second" in the South division) (50%, 86 Votes)
  • About right. Until or unless CU starts winning some big games and getting national attention, there won't be predictions of success in preseason magazines - or accolades for its players (35%, 60 Votes)
  • This list is even more skewed than usual. I understand that the Pac-12 North division has better teams and players, but 18-of-26 All-Conference performers? CFN should watch a few South division games (15%, 27 Votes)

From the Podcast: CU has scheduled twice as many Power-Five non-conference games than has half of the teams in the Pac-12. Thoughts?
  • Like it. As Coach Mac I said: To be the best, you have to play the best. Plus, it helps the coffers to play teams like Nebraska and Texas A&M (47%, 91 Votes)
  • I wouldn't mind it - I'd rather see Nebraska than Northern Colorado in Folsom - but only if other schools schedule in a like manner, so CU is competing on a level playing field for bowl bids (38%, 73 Votes)
  • I don't like it. With the program on the skids for over a decade, it's time to own up to CU's status, and acknowledge that scheduling September losses isn't in CU's best interest (15%, 29 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??? 🙂
