Which would you rather see as the first nationally featured game for Coach Prime and the 2023 Buffs?
  • Any reason it can't be both? CU at TCU will garner national attention, and if the Buffs can beat the Horned Frogs (or even be competitive), Coach Prime's first home game will be must see TV (64%, 185 Votes)
  • CU v. Nebraska. Two new coaches; a sold out frenzied crowd; and a renewed rivalry. Sounds like a perfect formula for the return of GameDay (provided CU fans don't sell their tickets to Husker fans) (25%, 71 Votes)
  • CU at TCU. First weekend, without many marquee games on the schedule. TCU won't be the No. 2 team in the nation this fall, so the CU can make an immediate splash on the national scene (11%, 32 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from offensive coordinator Sean Lewis makes you the most optimistic about the upcoming season?

  • “I can tell that (Shedeur) is detailed-oriented, I can tell that he’s super competitive and I can tell that he loves to work. Those are the things that, to me, make elite players" (24%, 65 Votes)
  • “I’m a big proponent that work works. We’ve got to show up and we’ve got to put in the work and that starts in the foundation of winter conditioning" (18%, 51 Votes)

Which of the following Transfer Portal numbers do you find to be the most eyebrow raising?
  • That a total of 812 Power Five scholarship players entered the Transfer Portal this off-season, with only 39% finding new homes at other Power Five schools - with 28% unsigned (48%, 116 Votes)
  • That four of CU's 2023 opponents are in the Top Ten nationally in transfers out (Arizona & Cal with 22; Oregon 21; and CSU 19). Last year, CU was on this list, which I'll take as a win (39%, 96 Votes)
  • That ASU leads the nation with 20 Power Five transfers. CU is tied for seventh (with 12), but that doesn't include Power Five worthy transfers like Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, so we're good (13%, 32 Votes)

  • "Our coaches understand that the goal is to win. But goal is also to win their lives. It is also to win their trust and respect ... Winning comes in so many different packages" (30%, 73 Votes)
  • "I never settle ... I never settle for mediocrity ... I don't know where the remote control for that is ... I'm committed. I can't stop" (26%, 63 Votes)

  • On interactions with recruits: "It starts with Relationships. Relationships lead to Respect, which leads to Responses, which lead to Results" (26%, 77 Votes)
  • "Leaders fill their calendar by priorities; followers fill their calendars by requests. Leaders invest time; followers spend time" (25%, 72 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??? 🙂
