Which news story of the latest cycle to you was the most positive?
- That the ND State game was set for 6:00 MT on ESPN. Glad it's not 8:30 on a weeknight ... and happy that CU will open the season on national TV (North Carolina/Minnesota only other Power Four game) (47%, 68 Votes)
- That 'Coach Prime' has been renewed for a third season by Amazon. Good publicity, plus extra dollars for players for their appearances (read: Free extra NIL money to keep and lure players) (32%, 46 Votes)
- That the single game tickets went on sale Tuesday (next Tuesday for general public). Happy that most games (even though the slate is not as exciting as last year) are almost already sold out (21%, 31 Votes)

Kickoff for CU at Nebraska set for 5:30 p.m., MT, on September 7th (NBC). Thoughts?
- What's not to like? A nationally televised game in "Prime Time" (pun intended). A perfect setting to make it four in a row over the Cornhuskers (77%, 140 Votes)
- I don't care about the kickoff time (though I have to say, I'm glad it's not in the morning or late at night). I'm just excited to get this game on and take down the Corn! (22%, 40 Votes)
- A little strange that it's on NBC, but I guess the Peacock has been expanding out of its Notre Dame centric coverage ... and with the Olympics on NBC, I'm calling it now: Saturation ads this summer (1%, 2 Votes)

CU again leads the nation with 41 transfers leaving ... with three schools right behind with 39. Thoughts?
- I'm interested to see that seven Big 12 teams had at least 25 transfers leave. Perhaps CU's fluid roster isn't quite as much of a problem as we have been led to believe (50%, 87 Votes)
- Just goes to show that the national media will always choose to focus on the negative when it comes to CU. Anyone writing negative stories about Alabama, Michigan State, or Indiana? Thought not (30%, 53 Votes)
- The other schools which are close to CU in lost players all had head coaching turnovers. Coach Prime needs to spend more time on retention and development, and less on turnover (20%, 35 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from three-star defensive back Savion Riley from Vanderbilt/Miami. Thoughts?
- I like this. It's slim pickings in the Transfer Portal now, so getting a Power Four defensive back - a position of need - is a nice present for mid-May (39%, 73 Votes)
- Looks like CU is up to 79 scholarships, so the team is pretty much in place for the season. Guess it's time to start doing deep dives on the depth chart, and see where Mr. Riley will fit in (34%, 63 Votes)
- Perhaps a good depth piece, but Riley wasn't highly sought after out of high school, and was a rotational player for Vanderbilt. Perhaps a development piece, which CU does need (27%, 52 Votes)

Report: UC Regents to require UCLA give Cal $50-$60 million for leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten. Thoughts?
- More reason to believe that UCLA will soon become an afterthought in the Big Ten. Chip Kelly is gone, the program has no positive momentum, and now some big checks to write. Bruins are going to spiral (44%, 62 Votes)
- Doesn't make much sense now, considering how things turned out. Cal and Stanford bailed to the ACC, leaving WSU and OSU behind. No penalties for the Bears? (31%, 44 Votes)
- I like it. I just wish that there was a way for USC to also have to pay a penalty (not to mention Washington and Oregon giving up some of its Big Ten money to WSU and OSU) (25%, 34 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??? 🙂
