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)

Survey: Colorado the most expensive game day experience in college football. Thoughts?
  • We'll have to keep repeating this: The next five years are crucial for CU's future in the sport. Making as much money (from as many sources) is vital for CU to compete for talent (63%, 107 Votes)
  • It is what it is. Colorado is selling out games under Coach Prime, so naturally the cost of going to the game is going to get more expensive. CU is just keeping a good eye on what the market will bear (22%, 38 Votes)
  • CU is pricing out some loyal fans. When Coach Prime (ultimately) leaves, the Johnny-come-lately fans will leave too, but the fans who were priced out of seats won't come back. Not a good model (15%, 24 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur do you like the best?
  • “I think we’ll develop a plan who plays (at QB) and when once we get to the game. But right now, as we go through the installations, we demand that they all learn everything that we’re doing" (41%, 34 Votes)
  • On wide receiver Omarion Miller: “The injury set him back a year ago. We had really, really high hopes for him a year ago. He’s a really, really dynamic player. He’s got a super bright future" (36%, 30 Votes)
  • "They are both very, very smart guys. 'JuJu' is obviously much younger so this process is a little bit foreign to him. I think they are both doing extremely well" (23%, 19 Votes)

  1. 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.

  2. 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!!

  3. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  4. 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??? 🙂
