My prediction for the Colorado State game ...
- Close win for Colorado. Buffs stumble at times, but pull out a victory (58%, 164 Votes)

- Close win for Colorado State. Buffs not there yet, repeat of 2012 with mistakes costing Buffs late (9%, 26 Votes)
- Blowout win for Colorado State ... I'm a defeatist / CSU troll (1%, 3 Votes)

CSU coach suggests he may use three QB's in the opener
- McElwain is sandbagging, but I don't mind the idea that he could be instilling doubt in his starter's head (47%, 129 Votes)
- Fine. Three quarterbacks = no quarterbacks. CU fans know this equation all too well (45%, 124 Votes)
- Wait a minute ... The Lambs get to have three QB's on scholarship? How can they afford them with no TV revenue? (8%, 23 Votes)

Practices closed to the public and media from here on ...
- Fine by me. Time to get ready for CSU. No sense giving the Rams extra information (85%, 247 Votes)
- Don't ask me. I thought they should have been closed from Day One (like they are at ten other Pac-12 schools). (13%, 38 Votes)
- Not really necessary. Pretty sure CSU knows what the former San Jose State coach is going to run (2%, 7 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??? 🙂
