Coach Prime: "The team we’re playing with now is not the team we’re going to be playing with in Texas the first game. There will be new faces and new attitudes". Thoughts?
  • I like it. Coach Prime said he wasn't done shopping. The Transfer Portal is about to reopen, and I'd expect CU to be very active. Should be an interesting spring (53%, 107 Votes)
  • I note that the quote was in direct response to a question about the offensive line. One new transfer this week ... I'd expect the offensive line to be a focal point in CU's search for help (39%, 79 Votes)
  • I understand what Coach Prime is saying, but at some point doesn't continuity and team building have to factor in? Can he really get 20-25 new guys up to speed in August? (8%, 16 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from graduate transfer offensive lineman Jack Bailey from Kent State. Thoughts?
  • I like it. Bailey was a two-year starter for OC Sean Lewis and OL coach Bill O'Boyle. He'll know the system, and will be able to fit right in and have an immediate impact this fall (55%, 121 Votes)
  • This commitment brings the scholarship number to 97. I am excited about the players CU might bring in this spring ... but if I'm honest, I was hoping for a higher quality pickup than this (23%, 51 Votes)
  • I hope this isn't a sign that the line is a disappointment. Why bring in an unheralded Kent State offensive linemen if you are content with what you have. Doesn't give me confidence about the O-Line (22%, 50 Votes)

Transfer wide receiver Jimmy Horn, Jr. the first Buff player to be given a number. Thoughts?
  • I'm just enjoying this ride. Almost every day there are positive stories coming out of the Champions Center. I just hope the enthusiasm we are seeing from the roster bears fruit this fall (66%, 132 Votes)
  • I like it. I like the fact that Coach Prime is making players earn their numbers, and I really like the fact that Jimmy Horn is doing so well in spring practices! (28%, 56 Votes)
  • Much ado about nothing, if we're being honest. There are plenty of ways to motivate players, and this is one that many schools use. Nothing to see here (6%, 13 Votes)

Tight ends coach Tim Brewster: "We’ve got to have a true three-down tight end". Thoughts?
  • With Seydou Traore on the roster, this may actually come true. Traore caught 50 passes last year, and can play. The real question is whether one of the returning TE's can step up and contribute (62%, 115 Votes)
  • Sounds like it might finally happen. Brewster ahs been a head coach, and he wouldn't have taken the job if he didn't see tight ends as an integral part of the offense (25%, 46 Votes)
  • Sigh. Better there, done that, got the t-shirt. How many times in the past decade or so have we heard that CU will be employing tight ends? I'll believe it when it actually happens (13%, 25 Votes)

ESPN has the CU men's basketball team as the No. 13 team in the nation in its preseason Top 25. Thoughts?
  • I'm not sure this will play out, but I am happy to bask in the glow of CU being one of only six schools nationally to have teams in both preseason polls! (45%, 93 Votes)
  • This is a typo, right? A CU team which struggled to stay above .500 this year is going to become a 25-win team next fall? Color me skeptical (28%, 57 Votes)
  • Great news! I didn't know that the insertion of Cody Williams and Eddie Lampkin would make that much of a difference. Time for Tad to make his own run to the Sweet Sixteen! Go Buffs! (27%, 55 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??? 🙂
