  • "I like having pressure on me ... That’s a big motivator all in itself. I take everything that comes with (the expectations)" (23%, 67 Votes)

Buffs finish non-conference play with an 11-2 record. Thoughts?
  • Tell you what - beat No. 6 Oregon on Thursday, and all will be forgiven. The Buffs will be back in good graces with the Buff Nation, the polls, and the bracketologists. Can CU take down the Ducks? (42%, 120 Votes)
  • Right about where we thought they would be. Probably should have lost to Dayton and beaten Northern Iowa. Good to go for Pac-12 play (40%, 113 Votes)
  • Maddeningly inconsistent. If the Buffs can't solve their turnover problems, they are going to disappoint when Pac-12 begins this weekend (18%, 51 Votes)

What is your takeaway from USC's and Washington State's bowl losses?
  • That the Pac-12 is down, just like the pundits say. The flagship school gets smoked by Iowa, while Washington State loses to a G-5 team. Not a good look (60%, 149 Votes)
  • That Clay Helton finished with a bad loss (49-24) to Iowa, and will open 2020 with a bad loss to Alabama. Helton will spend all of the 2020 season on the hot seat ... just like this year (30%, 74 Votes)
  • That Washington State finished 6-7, and the bloom may have fallen off the rose for Mike Leach. The 2020 season may be the last for the Pirate in Pullman (one way or the other) (10%, 25 Votes)

Bowl games involving Pac-12 teams - what is your rooting interest?
  • Depends. I can cheer for some Pac-12 teams in some games, but it's hard for me to cheer for some of CU's rivals under any circumstances (50%, 118 Votes)
  • Always cheer for Pac-12 teams. The conference has a less than stellar reputation as it is, and a poor bowl record won't help (37%, 88 Votes)
  • Sorry, but I don't pay attention to bowl games unless they involve my Buffs (11%, 26 Votes)
  • Always cheer for the Pac-12 opponent. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and these are teams the Buffs will face next year ... and I want every advantage possible for my Buffs (2%, 4 Votes)

What was the most disappointing loss of the 2019 season?
  • USC - The Buffs had a ten-point fourth quarter lead - and the ball! - and still couldn't find a way to defeat the Trojans (small consolation - Helton wouldn't have kept his job if CU had won) (60%, 228 Votes)
  • Air Force - The Buffs had a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, and then fell asleep. The Falcons are a 10-win team, but the Buffs shouldn't have lost this game (20%, 76 Votes)
  • Arizona - With or without Kahlil Tate, CU should have won this game. The Wildcats didn't win a game the rest of the season after beating the Buffs (18%, 70 Votes)
  • UCLA - The Bruins were not that good this year, but the Buffs made them look good (1%, 5 Votes)
  • Washington State - See above. The Cougars were not that good this year, but the Buffs made them look good (1%, 3 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??? 🙂
