Which of the following Coach Prime quotes from CU's Fall Media Day do you like the best?
  • “The best thing we have put together is the staff … 294 years of coaching. Six have been head coaches. Four have coached in the NFL. Six national championships – I think we have a really good staff” (48%, 97 Votes)
  • “We have a myriad of guys who can really rush the passer well … and also disable the run … I think we have more depth than anything else on the defensive front" (31%, 62 Votes)
  • "I'm happy with what I'm seeing every morning ... I don’t care about culture. I don’t care if they like each other. I want to win ... (But) we’re not like that. The kids like each other, trust me” (21%, 44 Votes)

Thoughts of Stanford and Cal aligning with the ACC have met with "significant roadblocks". Thoughts?
  • Not a surprise. Apparently, someone in the ACC looked at a map, and noted there were no ACC teams west of Louisville. Realignment isn't logical, but sanity has to start somewhere, doesn't it? (66%, 149 Votes)
  • Too bad. There doesn't seem to be any logical reason why Stanford and Cal should be left out in the cold. I hope they can find a way to make this work (19%, 42 Votes)
  • I just think it's comical that Notre Dame - which isn't even a member of the ACC - was the program pushing to get Stanford and Cal a Power Five home. Perhaps the Big Ten (or Big 12) will make room (15%, 36 Votes)

CBS' Dennis Dodd: CU at TCU, Sept. 2: Why do I have a sneaking suspicion Sonny Dykes is going to run it up against the preening Deion? Thoughts?
  • It's going to be like this all season for CU. Every team is going to try bring Coach Prime down a notch ... Just like how WSU and OSU are going to take out their frustrations on the Pac-12 (55%, 145 Votes)
  • I know it's not a popular notion with Buff fans, but TCU is a three-touchdown favorite. If the Horned Frogs get the chance to make a statement on national television in Game One, they'll do it (24%, 64 Votes)
  • Great bulletin board material - not that the Buffs will be lacking. Dennis Dodd has had next to no respect for CU or Coach Prime, so this click bait is just another example (21%, 57 Votes)

USA Today/Coaches preseason poll released, with five of CU's 2023 opponents making the list. Thoughts?
  • Interested that the team which played for the national title last season - TCU - got dropped all the way down to No. 16. TCU lost significant talent - it will be up to CU to show the nation how much (73%, 116 Votes)
  • Apparently grading the Pac-12 on quarterbacks: No. 6 USC (Caleb Williams) > No. 11 Washington (Michael Penix) > No. 14 Utah (Cameron Rising) > No. 15 Oregon (Bo Nix) (14%, 23 Votes)
  • Interesting that Oregon State made the Top 25 (at No. 18), while UCLA, which made many of the preseason lists, didn't (coming in at No. 31). Guess that means CU's Rose Bowl trip might be a "W" (13%, 20 Votes)

If you were the President of Stanford and/or Cal, what would be your next move?
  • Stand by the phone, and hope that the Big Ten, Big 12, or ACC will take pity on my school, and offer admittance, even if it is at a reduced share of revenue (49%, 117 Votes)
  • Make the best deal I can with the Mountain West, perhaps with an out to play as many Power Five games as I can arrange, keeping my independent options open (29%, 70 Votes)
  • I would work on keeping the "Pac-12" together for non-revenue sports, so that my national championship caliber non-revenue teams can stay in tact, and keep pumping out national titles (22%, 54 Votes)

  1. 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!!

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

  3. 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??? 🙂
