Junior wide receiver K.D. Nixon declares for the 2020 NFL Draft. Thoughts?
  • Not good news. I wish Nixon the best, but he and his draft stock would have been better served to stay another year, and try to be the breakout star in next year's offense (62%, 210 Votes)
  • Well, nine former Buffs have declared early for the NFL Draft, and all have been selected. Fingers crossed that KD won't become the first Buff to leave early and go undrafted (30%, 101 Votes)
  • Good news. Nixon was given the Eddie Crowder award for leadership, and is in the top 25 in the CU record after only two seasons. He'll do well in The League. Congratulations, KD! (8%, 26 Votes)

CU remains ranked in the AP poll (at No. 24). What about the ranking do you find most surprising?
  • That the national pollsters actually recognized just how good No. 2 Kansas is, and didn't penalize CU for taking on a top team on the road in non-conference play (41%, 103 Votes)
  • That this is the fifth straight week CU has been ranked - which means that over ten percent of CU's ALL-TIME poll appearances have now taken place over the last month (33%, 81 Votes)
  • That the national pollsters didn't see how bad CU looked against Kansas. No chance this is a Top 25 team right now (26%, 65 Votes)

Which of the following CU team awards do you feel is most deserved?

  • Bill McCartney Award (special teams achievement): TE Beau Bisharat and P Alex Kinney (21%, 52 Votes)

No. 2 Kansas 72, No. 20 Colorado 58. Thoughts?
  • The Buffs have three more games before facing another ranked team (No. 19 Dayton). Let's hope that can find a way to shoot better than 30% (and not have 17+ turnovers) by then (63%, 160 Votes)
  • Buffs came out flat, and never recovered. Pretty much the same M.O. Tad Boyle teams have always had against better opponents. CU looks like an NIT team to me, not an NCAA tournament team (19%, 49 Votes)
  • Not a great effort, but we weren't expecting a win on the road against No. 2 Kansas, anyway. Buffs are 7-1. It won't work against CU's chances at an NCAA bid, so let's accept it an move on (18%, 46 Votes)

What would count as a "win" for the Buffs against No. 2 Kansas (Saturday, 5:00 p.m., MT, ESPN2)?
  • A win is a win. The Buffs are the No. 20 team in the nation. If they want to be taken seriously nationally, they need to win these sorts of games (63%, 147 Votes)
  • Keep it close. The Buffs have lost 29 straight games in Allen Fieldhouse, and will likely lose this one. Just keep it interesting, and perhaps stay ranked nationally (26%, 61 Votes)
  • Come away without injuries or embarrassment. Another game with 18 or 19 turnovers will be a really bad rout, and the Buffs don't need that on their resume come March (11%, 24 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??? 🙂
