Fox Sports to have a national Friday night game this season. Thoughts on CU playing Big 12 games under Friday Night Lights?
  • Nothing really new here. CU has been playing Friday games as a member of the Pac-12 almost every season. The only difference ... fans will actually be able to watch the game on FOX (48%, 75 Votes)
  • Not a fan, especially if it is a CU home game. The Buffs already have a Friday home game (North Dakota State). I prefer a nice Saturday afternoon in Boulder (especially when November weather hits) (29%, 45 Votes)
  • I like it, both for CU and the conference. Good exposure for the Big 12, and CU will be a big draw (recall that the Friday night CSU game attracted a crowd of over 10 million) (23%, 35 Votes)

No. 18 Colorado falls to No. 13 Oregon State in double overtime. Thoughts on the loss
  • Devastating. The Buffs have nine losses on the season - three to Oregon State. This one may keep the Buffs from a top four seed and homefield advantage in the NCAA tournament. Tough loss (46%, 81 Votes)
  • It could still be okay. I hope the tournament committee notes that eight of CU's nine losses were to ranked teams, and gives the Buffs a break after a double overtime loss (28%, 49 Votes)
  • Well, it was nice of the CU men's team to surprise us with a road win over Oregon. The Buffs have a legitimate path to March Madness. Perhaps it will be the men who will have a surprising tourney run (26%, 47 Votes)

Which of the following CU sporting events on Thursday to you is the most important?
  • CU men at Oregon (7:00 p.m., MT, ESPN2). If the Buffs can sweep the Ducks, they'll earn a No. 3 seed at the Pac-12 tournament next week. A loss, and the Buffs might lose their bye (and an NCAA bid) (64%, 115 Votes)
  • No. 18 CU women v. No. 13 Oregon State (1:00 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks). A revenge win in the quarterfinals could vault CU back into the Top 16, giving the Buffs home court advantage in the NCAAs (20%, 35 Votes)
  • The CU ski team competing in Day Two of the NCAA championships (cubuffs.com/sports/2024/2/14/). The Buffs are in second after a tough Day One, but have been dominating Nordic events all season (16%, 29 Votes)

Would you rank Deion Sanders on your list of Top 25 college head coaches?
  • No. Top 25 in hype? Yes. Top 25 in self-promotion? Definitely. Top 25 in turning over a roster? Sure. But top coaches win their games, and Coach Prime hasn't shown he can ... yet (42%, 88 Votes)
  • Hard to decide. It's hard to put Coach Prime in a Top 25 just yet, but if Stewart Mandel has six Big 12 coaches on his list (including three in the Top Ten), then Coach Prime is getting close (33%, 69 Votes)
  • Yes. What Coach Prime has done with the CU program is just this side of amazing. You can't measure an impact on a program just be wins and losses ... Doubters, be prepared to be silenced this fall! (25%, 55 Votes)

CU defeats Stanford for fourth straight victory. Rate CU's chances of making the NCAA tournament
  • Medium. Holding serve at home is one thing, but it may take a win in Eugene at Oregon to punch CU's ticket. Optimism is returning, but work still needs to be done (72%, 166 Votes)
  • Low. Yes, CU has won 20 games, and has lost only one game at home. Guess what? CU has no more home games ... that is, until the NIT, which is where CU will end up (again) (17%, 38 Votes)
  • High. The Buffs are at worst a bubble team right now, and are playing well (even without Cody Williams and Julian Hammond. If those two come back, CU could still make some noise in March Madness (11%, 25 Votes)

  1. 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!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. 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??? 🙂
