John Canzano article mentions Colorado State as a possible candidate to join a "Pac-14". Thoughts?
  • There is zero chance that the Lambs, who average 26,000 per home game, will be seriously considered by the Pac-12 for membership. San Diego State? SMU? Maybe. CSU - Never (62%, 152 Votes)
  • I'm relying on AD Rick George to make sure this doesn't happen. Elevate the Lambs to an equal status? It would hurt image, recruiting ... and my justifiable distain for all things CSU (23%, 58 Votes)
  • It would depend on the circumstances (which other schools; affect on media distribution), but having an actual rival to play every year might help generate statewide interest in the Pac-12 (15%, 37 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from defensive coordinator Charles Kelly do you like the best?
  • Our identity: We're going to build our defense off of Coach Prime's expectations. We want to be big, physical, disciplined, fast. We want to be an aggressive style defense. You can't copy anybody (50%, 146 Votes)
  • We're assuming that nobody knows anything. We're going to teach our players what to do, how to do it, and why it's important to do it that way. We'll start basic, and then we'll build (47%, 136 Votes)
  • It's a great staff. I've known these guys for many years. One of the blessings of being a coach is the relationships that you make. You try and take what everybody does best, and you add that (3%, 9 Votes)

What will it take for the 20th-ranked CU women's basketball team to secure a No. 4 seed in the tournament, and home-field advantage for the first two games?
  • Probably a win in the quarters and in the semi-finals (likely against Utah, a projected No. 1 seed). CU doesn't have the history of other programs, and will have to earn tourney games at the CEC (41%, 60 Votes)
  • I would think at least a quarterfinal win on Thursday night. The Buffs have a bye in the first round, and then will take on Oregon State. Avoid an upset, and they're likely in as a four seed (34%, 50 Votes)
  • I have no idea what you are talking about. Spring practices start in a few weeks, and the Pac-12 media contract (and possible implosion) are what I am interested in (at least 'til spring ball starts) (25%, 36 Votes)

  • "Former Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez: "What is to stop Oregon and Washington from going to the Big Ten, from Arizona and ASU going to the Big 12? I think they're teetering on the brink right now" (42%, 82 Votes)
  • Former WSU, OSU and ASU coach Dennis Erickson on streaming Pac-12 games: "It's nice when you can turn it on a regular channel. I think it will hurt them in recruiting, no question" (14%, 27 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??? 🙂
