CU picks up a commitment from three-star offensive lineman Hank Zilinskas from Cherry Creek. Thoughts?
  • Well done, CU coaching staff! A three-star commit from an in-state school in a position of need. Zilinskas checks all of the boxes. This is the type of commit which will help build CU's brand in CO (53%, 129 Votes)
  • We can only hope that the recruitment for Zilinskas will blow up like it did for former CU OL recruit, Naquil Betrand - but that he won't decommit when he gets "better" offers (30%, 73 Votes)
  • One other Power Five offer, and not even rated by Rivals. Please wake me when CU picks up a commitment from a player other Power Five schools are drooling over ... it's been awhile (17%, 41 Votes)

Which of Neill Woelk's Reasons for Optimism about the Buffs heading into Fall Camp do you most agree with?
  • That CU has upgraded its coaching staff. Without five-star recruits to work with, it comes down to coaching, and CU has better coaches than last year (51%, 100 Votes)
  • That CU will be running a new offense. To be honest, it couldn't get much worse, but here's hoping for a major upgrade under OC Mike Sanford (32%, 64 Votes)
  • That CU will have improved quarterback play. Similar to answer No. 2 - QB play was poor last year. Hopefully competition will bring out the best of this fall's starter (10%, 19 Votes)
  • That the schedule works in CU's favor. The Buffs will be battle-tested by their non-conference schedule, and can hit the easiest part of the Pac-12 slate (UCLA, at UA, Cal) ready to win (4%, 8 Votes)
  • That CU will be more confident on defense. It will be Year Two under DC Chris Wilson, and the Buffs who are returning will be well versed on what is expected of them (3%, 6 Votes)

Report: The Pac-12 and Big 12 have broken off negotiations for a merger. Thoughts?
  • It could be bad news which turns into good news. If this gives the Four Corner schools the final push to take off on their own for the Big 12, it could allow CU to have a decent landing spot (58%, 124 Votes)
  • It is what it is until it isn't. No one thought that USC and UCLA would leave for the Big Ten, until they did, and no one thought Oklahoma and Texas would leave the Big 12. Don't give up on a merger (25%, 53 Votes)
  • This is the end of the Pac-12. There may be some talk of expansion (San Diego State and Boise State?), but that would just be a band-aid until Oregon and Washington leave and kill the Pac-12 for good (17%, 38 Votes)

Report: Notre Dame looking for $75 million annually to stay independent. Thoughts?
  • I don't know what effect this might have on the Pac-10, but I do know that it is another example of how off the charts absurd college football has become (80%, 193 Votes)
  • Good news for the Pac-12. If Notre Dame is off the market, the Big Ten may shut down its expansion, which means Oregon and Washington will have to deal with its Pac-10 remnants rather than walk (17%, 40 Votes)
  • Bad news for the Pac-12. According to the report, NBC may be looking for some Big 12 games as additional inventory in order to have games before or after the Notre Dame contests (3%, 9 Votes)

Do you think the California Board of Regents will be able to do anything about UCLA leaving for the Big Ten?
  • Probably not, but it will be interesting to see how this plays out. One UC program bringing in $100 million/year; the other left with scraps (and perhaps a move to the Mountain West) (52%, 127 Votes)
  • No. UCLA made it clear when it announced it was leaving that it didn't need permission of the Board of Regents. Better to ask forgiveness than permission, and UCLA is gone (40%, 98 Votes)
  • Yes. The move will crucify Cal, and the Board of Regents can't let that happen. It isn't over until it's over, and Cal still has some cards to play (8%, 20 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??? 🙂
