Would you agree with Pat Rooney assessment that Year Three of the Karl Dorrell era feels a great deal like Year One?
  • That's probably a pretty fair way to look at CU right now. With half of the coaching staff replaced, and over two dozen players lost to the Transfer Portal, it feels like CU is starting over (50%, 111 Votes)
  • To be determined ... but it is fair to say that if the 2022 season unfolds like a start over season, Karl Dorrell probably shouldn't get a chance for a Year Two in Year Four (30%, 68 Votes)
  • There have been new coaches hired, and some players (who didn't buy in) playing elsewhere, but this team has taken steps forward, and is not starting over (20%, 44 Votes)

Which post-scrimmage Karl Dorrell quote to you was the most telling?
  • "We didn't want to show too much given it was a public scrimmage. But we did what we wanted to do today in terms of seeing our base-level schemes". In other words: nothing to see here (46%, 56 Votes)
  • "B-Lew looked good. He looked like he was in control of what was going on. I thought he made good decisions today". With Shrout limited, the starting quarterback job is truly Lewis' to lose (30%, 36 Votes)
  • "I thought we did a good job of give and take with good competitiveness on both sides". As with every scrimmage, every good play on one side of the ball means a poor play on the other (24%, 29 Votes)

Is it worth it to make note of how some of the Buff players are faring in spring scrimmages?
  • All I know is that this is the first time Buff fans have been allowed to see their team in action since November. Any info for the starved fan base is welcome! (45%, 65 Votes)
  • No. It's all just window dressing, and Dorrell (and other paranoid coaches across the country) aren't going to tip their hands on anything. Nothing to see here (31%, 44 Votes)
  • Yes. Even keeping everything vanilla, the coaches have to give fans at least a glimpse of what's in store for the fall, and which players are doing the best jobs in executing those schemes (24%, 34 Votes)

Sophomore offensive lineman Carson Lee has entered the Transfer Portal. Thoughts?
  • It frees up a scholarship. Now the question becomes: Who will fill that scholarship? Until we know the answer to that question, we can't know if this move was a net gain or a net loss (54%, 97 Votes)
  • Should have happened months ago. Lee still has felony assault charges pending from last October, so there was no guarantee he would ever see the field (34%, 62 Votes)
  • Sorry to see him go. The offensive line is already one of the weakest units on the team, and the Buffs can't afford to lose any depth (12%, 21 Votes)

Which quote of the day gives you the most optimism about the Buffs?
  • OL coach Kyle DeVan on defensive line: “Our second group of D-line is (darn) good and it may be just as good as the first group. I’ve really been impressed with those guys" (69%, 112 Votes)
  • HC Karl Dorrell: "Defensively, our pass rush is really improving from where it was a year ago ... We have a few guys that are part of that. Justin Jackson has been a guy that has been flashing" (21%, 34 Votes)
  • WR coach Phil McGeoghan on Daniel Arias: "I’ve been very pleased with Daniel’s progression, and he’s a guy who I’m really counting on this year to take that next step" (10%, 16 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??? 🙂
