RE: RMS ... If I were Rick George:
- Let the contract (through 2020) run its course, then insist on home-and-home (or 2-for-1) (47%, 117 Votes)
- Let the contract runs its course, then end the series (no upside for Buffs in playing the Rams) (21%, 53 Votes)
- End the series NOW - even if there is a buyout (and backlash) (20%, 50 Votes)
- Keep the RMS as it is. It's good for CU to play (and gain exposure) in Denver (12%, 28 Votes)

Coloradoan: "CSU, CU on a level playing field in terms of talent"
- Disagree - Not true. Never has been true; never will be true (50%, 122 Votes)
- Perhaps, but CU is still 7-3 vs. CSU over past ten seasons - So does this mean CSU fans believe Hawkins/Embree just out-coached their coaches? (36%, 89 Votes)
- Agree - Have to admit it. Right now, CU's talent is more high end MWC than mid-level Pac-12 (14%, 33 Votes)

Time for talk is over. My prediction for the RMS ...
- CU by 10 points or more. Buffs won by 14 last year - with worse personnel. (63%, 232 Votes)
- CU by less than 10 points. I know the Buffs usually win by double digits, but this one will be close (31%, 115 Votes)
- CSU by less than 10 points. It's still 8-4 vs. 4-8. Losing Bell and Henington will hurt (4%, 14 Votes)
- CSU by 10 points or more. (I'm a CSU troll) (2%, 5 Votes)

DL Tyler Henington lost for the season (torn ACL). Impact:
- Moderate. CU coaches knew opponents were going to focus on the defensive ends - this just makes their job more difficult (48%, 148 Votes)
- Huge. D-Line already the weak link, and now down a starter. Devastating loss (40%, 124 Votes)
- Slight. "Next man up!" - Buffs have 12 healthy defensive lineman. A new star will emerge (12%, 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??? 🙂
