The need to get early verbal commitments for the Class of 2017
- High. CU will sign a huge Class, and early momentum is vital (49%, 94 Votes)
- Moderate. It would be nice to see the Buffs making inroads, but commitments in April may not hold until next February (38%, 74 Votes)
- Low. I'd rather see the Buffs put up some wins this fall ... then bring in the high-profile prospects (13%, 25 Votes)

CU loses sophomore safety Jaisen Sanchez for the season
- Tough, but the loss can be overcome. Sanchez was likely only a backup this season (56%, 133 Votes)
- If there are no other season-ending injuries in the next two weeks, it will have been a good spring (36%, 87 Votes)
- Devastating. With Evan White gone and Sanchez out, CU is down to three scholarship safeties (8%, 19 Votes)

Thoughts on the hiring of JR Payne as CU's women's basketball coach
- I don't have enough information/interest ... I'll just hope for the best (64%, 139 Votes)
- Great hire! Did a good job in previous stops; I like that she chose CU over Arizona and New Mexico (26%, 56 Votes)
- Not impressed. No Division 1-A experience ... seems like a reach to me (10%, 23 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??? 🙂
