My take on quarterback Nick Hirschman graduating and transferring ...
- Good thing (long term). Identifies Wood as the leader; puts Dillon and Liufau on notice to be prepared to play (53%, 119 Votes)
- Unsure. Just dumbfounded by the timing. (34%, 76 Votes)
- Bad thing. Without Webb or Hirschman, CU now without a quarterback with starting experience (13%, 29 Votes)

Post Spring practices, the defensive unit of most concern ...
- Secondary - The most four-star talent on the roster ... but 97th in the nation in pass defense in 2012 (40%, 119 Votes)
- Defensive line - When the coach says goal one is to lose weight, the unit is in trouble (32%, 95 Votes)
- Linebackers - The lowest rated linebacker corps in recent CU history (28%, 80 Votes)

Oregon admits to at least one "major" violation
- All I know: If it was CU, the Buffs would be one free meal to a recruit away from the death penalty (42%, 93 Votes)
- It's taken awhile, but penalties are on their way. The Ducks will take a major hit this summer (35%, 77 Votes)
- There will be no penalties of consequence. The NCAA makes the "Gang who couldn't shoot straight" look like marksmen (23%, 53 Votes)

My current prediction for CU's record this fall:
- 2-10 or 3-9 - Improvement, but it's hard to see any easy wins on the schedule (51%, 125 Votes)

- Bowl bound! CU is undefeated until proven otherwise! (6%, 14 Votes)
- 0-12 or 1-11 - Coach Mac-2 repeats his first year at San Jose State (2%, 5 Votes)

Stuart:
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??? 🙂
