CU announces that Ford has been named as the sponsor for the Indoor Practice Facility. Thoughts?
- Good news! A nationally recognized sponsor for a facility which has gone nine years without a sponsor. Happy to see CU continuing to look under the cushions for additional funding (70%, 99 Votes)
- One of the benefits for Ford is being named as the "presenting partner of CU Football first downs". Not sure what that means, but hearing "Ford First Down" 30 times a game could get pretty old (15%, 22 Votes)
- Glad to hear that the IDF has been named, but as long as the stadium remains without a sponsor, CU is leaving some major dollars on the table. This needs to get done (15%, 21 Votes)

CBS 1-136 rankings has CU 46th in the nation, 10th in the Big 12. Thoughts?
- CU has over-achieved the past two seasons under Coach Prime. If that holds true in 2025, the Buff Nation is in for a fun season. Can't wait for the season to start! (66%, 96 Votes)
- Okay with it. CU has been ranked in the bottom half of the national rankings to open the season for the better part of a decade. Glad to see CU is getting more respect - even from the haters (21%, 31 Votes)
- CU ranked between Tulane and Virginia Tech? Not sure how many other nine win teams are ranked this low ... I'm guessing the answer would be zero (13%, 19 Votes)

Report: Shedeur Sanders to start Cleveland's first preseason game (Friday, Cleveland at Carolina, 5:00 p.m., MT, NFL Network). Thoughts?
- As far as first week NFL preseason games are concerned, this will be must-see TV. Here's hoping Shedeur will shine and move up the depth chart, and begin his NFL career with a big night (75%, 126 Votes)
- Wishing Shedeur the best, but until or unless he donates a few million to the CU program, he's off my radar. I'm a CU fan. Shedeur has moved on ... I'm moving on as well. Go Buffs! (15%, 25 Votes)
- Pass. First preseason games are little more than scrimmages between backups not likely to make the team. I hope Shedeur does well, but this is not a game I will pay any attention to this weekend (10%, 18 Votes)

Which of the following factoids about the USA Today coaches preseason poll do you find to be the most interesting?
- That CU plays seven teams who are "ranked" above the Buffs, including Georgia Tech. Does that mean CU is destined for a 5-7 record ... or will Coach Prime's Buffs "overachieve" once again? (46%, 56 Votes)
- That CU received votes in the poll. I understand that the Buffs were ranked 25th in the final AP poll, but the way pundits have been talking down CU, I'm surprised the Buffs even got that much love (37%, 45 Votes)
- That five Big 12 teams are ranked, but only one in the Top 20. ACC only has three ranked teams .... but two are in the Top Ten. The Big 12 has work to do nationally (17%, 21 Votes)

CU's tenth commitment from the Recruiting Class comes from offensive lineman Ben Gula. Thoughts?
- I like that Gula chose CU over UCF and Scott Frost, and was swayed by a phone call with Coach Prime. Hopefully, with Coach Prime's health announcement, recruiting will come easier going forward (47%, 63 Votes)
- Coach Prime has been criticized for not bringing in underclassmen along the lines. Gula is a good development player with a good resume and offer sheet (37%, 50 Votes)
- Glad to have Mr. Gula aboard, but this is a three-star player ranked over 1,000 in the national rankings. Never unhappy to get a recruit, but this is not a huge get (16%, 22 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??? 🙂
