Which of the following quotes from CU's last pre-spring game press conference do you like best?
- Coach Prime on the Buffs run game this year: “We’re gonna run the heck out of the ball … you’re probably gonna see two more running backs out of the portal as well" (42%, 66 Votes)
- Safety Carter Stoutmire on his loyalty to the program and the transfer portal: "I don’t think there’s a number out there that could get me to leave" (34%, 54 Votes)
- Coach Prime on his contract: "I love it here. I adore it here. I wanted to get some things done before I was able to to do what we did long term. ... I just ball, the money finds you" (24%, 38 Votes)

Rate your level of concern about how many Buffs will enter the Transfer Portal this Spring (April 16th-25th)
- Medium. There are always going to be defections, but there haven't been too many rumblings about players leaving. If we can get past "Black Monday" (after the Spring game), CU should be fine (48%, 88 Votes)
- Low. The nucleus of the team is in place, and CU has become a destination program. The Spring Transfer Portal will be about additions, not subtractions. Sit back and enjoy the ride (42%, 78 Votes)
- High. The first two Springs under Coach Prime were epic, but I'm hoping for continuity this spring. This can be a good team .. if CU can keep the core from defecting for more money (10%, 19 Votes)

CU to retire the jerseys of Travis Hunter (No. 12) and Shedeur Sanders (No. 2) at the Spring Game. Thoughts?
- I'm not a fan of the timing. Most of CU's retired jerseys came years later, not months. This is going to look like CU is pandering to Coach Prime ... not a great look (52%, 99 Votes)
- Travis? Sure. But I'm not sold on Shedeur. CU has had several prominent No. 2's (Deon Figures; J.J. Flannigan; Laviska Shenault). Is Shedeur all that much more deserving of a retired number? (29%, 55 Votes)
- I love it! Shedeur set, what, 70 or 80 school records? And, Travis, is, well, a unicorn who brought the Heisman Trophy back to Boulder. A great send off to the NFL Draft next week (19%, 36 Votes)

Should CU get into the market for former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava?
- Oh, Hell no. Coach Prime's mantra is that CU is not about the bag, and that if you are looking for a payout, you should look elsewhere. Nico is a culture killer, and he would do exactly that at CU (81%, 193 Votes)
- I'm confident that CU will not be in the running for Nico's services, but I will be following the saga. I just hope Nico doesn't land at a school on CU's schedule (18%, 42 Votes)
- Sure, why not? A former five-star quarterback who led the Volunteers to the College Football Playoffs? Liberty's Kaidon Salter is good, but wouldn't Iamaleava be better? (1%, 2 Votes)

CU picks up its first spring Transfer Portal commitment, 6'4', 318-pound offensive lineman Xavier Hill. Thoughts?
- A huge pickup, both literally and figuratively. A large human being who is coming to Boulder as a two-time all conference player. A nice start to the spring Transfer Portal run for CU (56%, 132 Votes)
- I'm guessing that there will be some losses from the offensive line to the Transfer Portal the next few weeks, so this is a good addition to an already stronger looking offensive line (35%, 81 Votes)
- A nice pickup, but I thought that once Coach Prime's contract was finalized, there would be a rush to join The Herd. Still no commitments from the Recruiting Class of 2026. Color me concerned (9%, 21 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??? 🙂
