CU loses one of its two remaining recruits from the Recruiting Class of 2021, offensive lineman Braylen Nelson. Thoughts?
  • Much ado about nothing. The de-commits all said it was about not getting the chance to meet the new staff. They may re-commit ... or be replaced by better recruits (69%, 179 Votes)
  • I wouldn't mind de-commits - if there were some commits to replace them. I trust this staff will get it together when they can meet with recruits, but, for now, I'm a little nervous (22%, 56 Votes)
  • Not a good look. CU had only four recruits (including one from the Class of 2022) when Tucker left, and now is down to one. Getting commitments from walk-ons is NOT an adequate subsitute (9%, 23 Votes)

CU has picked up three walk-on tight ends in three days. Thoughts?
  • Interesting to see the coaching staff focusing on tight ends. I wonder if this means an actual shift in offensive philosophy. Will CU actually utilize tight ends next season? Dare to dream (42%, 82 Votes)
  • I don't mind getting preferred walk-ons, but three - three? - tight ends. Picking up three defensive backs would make more sense (30%, 58 Votes)
  • Glad to see the Dorrell coaching staff is ramping up recruiting. With few scholarships to offer to the Recruiting Class of 2021, getting quality preferred walk-ons is a helpful alternative (28%, 56 Votes)

Which of the Iowa State Athletic Director's analogies do you believe collegiate athletics is facing?
  • A really hard winter. The Farmer's Almanac is telling us to be prepared for a long winter, as spring is still a long ways off (46%, 79 Votes)
  • An Ice Age. If schools are facing a loss of over half of their annual revenue (read: no football season), it will have long lasting effects on collegiate athletics operate going forward (32%, 54 Votes)
  • A winter blizzard. We just need to hunker down for a short period, and then move on (22%, 37 Votes)

Which quote is closest to your position on the chances of football in the fall?
  • Clemson's Dabo Swinney: "I have zero doubt that we're going to be playing and the stands are going to be packed" (35%, 66 Votes)
  • Pat Rooney: "Can sports fans imagine a world without college football? It might be the stark reality of the new normal" (34%, 65 Votes)
  • California Governor Gavin Newsom on NFL in September: "I'm not anticipating that happening in this state" (31%, 60 Votes)

Quarterback Sam Noyer announces his return to CU roster. Thoughts?
  • Seems like a win/win. Noyer was going to have a hard time finding a new home without the ability to visit other schools, and CU needs an insurance policy in the quarterbacks room. Welcome back, Sam! (71%, 140 Votes)
  • Not great news. Noyer left because he wasn't likely to see the playing field, and that hasn't changed. Oregon is getting a three-year starter from Boston College, while CU gets a third-stringer (17%, 33 Votes)
  • Great news! CU only had two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster, and one of those is a true freshman. Noyer brings leadership and institutional knowledge back to the quarterbacks room (12%, 23 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??? 🙂
