Dish drops Fox Networks, which will affect college and NFL football viewing. Thoughts?
  • Not news at all - at least for me. I don't have the Dish Network, so my viewing habits will not be affected (59%, 199 Votes)
  • Not good news - but it shouldn't last too long. There is too much money at stake with the NFL to allow this dispute to go on indefinitely (I hope) (25%, 85 Votes)
  • Terrible news. USC at Washington and WSU at Utah now unavailable - plus half of the NFL games (16%, 51 Votes)

How would you rate CU's chances at earning a bowl bid in 2019?
  • Medium. The chances are certainly there, but the Buffs will have to prove that they won't fold late in the season like they have the past few seasons (61%, 262 Votes)
  • High. The Buffs are better, and there are some "disappointments" in the Pac-12 this fall, which gives the Buffs a better chance at a winning record (26%, 113 Votes)
  • Very High. The Buffs are coming together, and will only get better over the course of the next two months (7%, 30 Votes)
  • Low. Did you see the Air Force game? Three quarters of the Nebraska game? The injury list? Last year's team started with five wins, this team has three. Hard for anyone to guarantee three more wins (6%, 25 Votes)

Which was the most important September victory for the Buffs?
  • Nebraska - Lose the home opener to a long-time rival, on national television, in a sea of red? The momentum from that win will be felt for years to come - both in recruiting and in fan support (60%, 267 Votes)
  • Arizona State - Non-conference victories are fun, but if CU wants to be taken seriously in the Pac-12, the Buffs have to start winning Pac-12 games. A great jump start to conference play! (38%, 170 Votes)
  • CSU - There were no certainties when the Buffs played Game One under Mel Tucker. If CU had lost that game, it would have been devastating. Plus, there was no way CU could leave Denver with a loss (2%, 10 Votes)

ESPN GameDay is heading to Lincoln for Ohio State at Nebraska. Thoughts?
  • Absurd. NU almost lost to South Alabama (1-3) and Illinois (which lost to Eastern Michigan). Something wrong with USC at Washington (other than bias)? (40%, 154 Votes)
  • I'm fine with ESPN featuring a blowout loss by the home team. I just wish it was a day game (5:30 p.m., MT, kickoff), so ESPN would have more time to show forlorn Husker fans after the game (39%, 149 Votes)
  • Hate to say it, but if the Cornhuskers are competitive against the Buckeyes, it will only make CU's win over the Corn look better (21%, 82 Votes)

What surprised you most about the Buffs win over the Sun Devils in Tempe?
  • That the Buffs were able to hold it together and pull out a win on the road in conference play. Eight road wins in nine seasons in the Pac-12 - a rare occurrence, indeed! (66%, 310 Votes)
  • The offense. ASU hadn't given up a point through three quarters to any opponent, but the Buffs scored touchdowns on their first two drives, and scored 34 points for the game. An impressive showing! (26%, 121 Votes)
  • The defense. The Buffs were pushed around for much of the game, but stood tall when the game was in the balance - just like they did against Nebraska (8%, 39 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??? 🙂
