Which behavior this past week do you find to be the LEAST surprising (or, to put it another way, the most consistent with prior behavior)
- Nebraska's Scott Frost setting up a star running back with an attorney, then claiming he went all last fall not knowing the player had any legal problems (39%, 144 Votes)
- Three CU Board of Regents voting against salaries for assistant coaches (39%, 143 Votes)
- Arizona parts way with yet another assistant for violating NCAA rules ... and then reasserting its support for head coach Sean Miller (11%, 42 Votes)
- Oregon spending more money to part ways with Jim Leavitt than CU will pay its top five assistants this fall - combined (11%, 38 Votes)

Rate your confidence level in CU's offensive line, 2019:
- Medium. I do like the returning experience (and that doesn't include former four-star prospect Jacob Moretti). Chances are good that this unit will be better - I'm cautiously optimistic (63%, 280 Votes)
- Low. Hate to say it, but we're still talking about a unit which was 127th in the nation in tackles for loss allowed. It's going to take a year or two to turn this unit around (25%, 114 Votes)
- High. Four returning starters to go with - finally - a decent offensive line coach. This unit will surprise this fall (12%, 54 Votes)

Buffs take out Sun Devils, 77-73, for fourth straight win. Thoughts?
- All I know is that CU has its first conference four-game winning streak since 2006, and are back to .500 in Pac-12 play. I'm just enjoying the ride (41%, 107 Votes)
- Impressed, but still somewhat skeptical. Injuries continue to mount. Happy about the recent success, but not sure if it can be sustained (32%, 83 Votes)
- Loving it! The team is playing with, as Tad Boyle puts it, "toughness", and has a real chance to finish in the top four of the conference and get a bye in the Pac-12 tournament (27%, 69 Votes)

Report: Jim Leavitt out as defensive coordinator at Oregon. Thoughts?
- Not news, unless you note that Oregon is just being Oregon - get a top 10 Recruiting Class signed, THEN fire the defensive coordinator who helped bring the players in (47%, 141 Votes)
- Good news. Glad that CU won't have to face Leavitt's defense, but CU has its own problems to work on. Like Coach Tucker said, it doesn't matter what anybody else is doing (39%, 116 Votes)
- Great news! Don't know if it was greed or ego which brought about the move, but I'm glad we won't have to hear about how great Oregon's defense is when we play the Ducks in October (14%, 43 Votes)

Vontae Shenault says he has Mel Tucker's blessing to explore playing basketball. Thoughts?
- Not a bad idea, as long as Shenault doesn't become a jack-of-all-trades ... and a master of none. First things first - dominate on the gridiron! (59%, 168 Votes)
- Love it! Shenault is a gifted athlete, Tad's bench is thin, and it would make a great human interest story (and it's not as if CU couldn't use some positive national publicity). Win-win situation (28%, 79 Votes)
- Hate it. Vontae Shenault should take note of his brother's injuries, and keep himself ready for football. Doubling the chance of injury for a potential star makes no sense (13%, 38 Votes)

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.
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!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
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??? 🙂
