Thoughts on whether CU's next head coach should have ties to the University ...
- Ties to CU may not be vital, but the new coach should know how to recruit in California and Texas. If they aren't familiar with CU's recruiting footprint, they will start out behind - can't happen (69%, 251 Votes)
- No, no, and, by the way, NO. Part of CU's problem in the last two decades has been trying to restore CU's past. The program needs a fresh start and a fresh perspective. NO former Buffs, thank you (28%, 101 Votes)
- It would be helpful. Ryan Walters, Mark Helfrich, Brian Lindgren, Jeff Grimes. CU is a unique job, and needs to have an understanding of CU in order to be successful (3%, 12 Votes)

CU head coach Karl Dorrell and defensive coordinator Chris Wilson fired. Thoughts?
- I wish Dorrell and Wilson well. Good men, who both clearly cared about their players and the program. No sense beating a dead horse here. Thanks, gentlemen, for your service (40%, 212 Votes)
- The firings were inevitable - but who will the next coach be? George was hamstrung with a February hire last time. He now has two months to find a coach who can build a program - and not leave (39%, 207 Votes)
- Long overdue, perhaps too long overdue. Dorrell & Co. have sunk the program to the bottom of the FBS, and it will take years - and a miracle - to get back to mediocre (21%, 113 Votes)

Arizona 43, Colorado 20. Thoughts?
- Okay, so we made it to the bye week. Time to fire Karl Dorrell, and move on to the next phase in Colorado football. If Dorrell remains coach ... I don't know what to say (48%, 172 Votes)
- Arizona and Kansas have shown CU the path to recovery. Get a good coach who can recruit and inspire, and use the Transfer Portal to bring in a brand new roster. It can be done! (42%, 152 Votes)
- Well, the Buffs did score three touchdowns, and scored touchdowns in the first and third quarters for the first time all season. Baby steps by the offense, but at least some progress with McCown at QB (10%, 34 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado at Arizona (Saturday, 7:30 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks)
- Death, taxes ... and CU laying an egg. Until or unless the Buffs prove otherwise, take the opposition, give the points, and don't look back. Dorrell's final game (?) another blowout loss (70%, 186 Votes)
- This will be the first time CU will cover the spread. Considering how bad the Buffs have been (haven't covered yet), it's a tough call to pick the Buffs, but CU keeps it within two scores (19%, 50 Votes)
- Dorrell is 2-0 against Arizona at CU (5-2 overall, counting his days at UCLA). What the Hell? Buffs figure it out as the Wildcats are (still) not that great. CU wins in the desert! (11%, 29 Votes)

Which of the following Pac-12 games this weekend for you holds the most interest?
- Washington at UCLA. (Friday, 8:30 p.m., MT, ESPN). UCLA (like everyone else) took it to the Buffs. We'll find out this week if the Bruins are for real, or if their 4-0 record is a sham (60%, 99 Votes)
- Oregon State at Utah. (Saturday, noon, MT, Pac-12 Networks). The Beavers gave USC all the Trojans could handle ... do they have anything left in the tank to take on the Utes? (33%, 54 Votes)
- Arizona State at USC (Saturday, 8:30 p.m., MT, ESPN). The line has gone from 17.5 to 24.5 points. If there is going to be a rout more embarrassing than what CU is facing, it could be this game for ASU (7%, 13 Votes)

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!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
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??? 🙂
