Which of Neill Woelk's Spring storylines do you think is the most important for the Dorrell coaching staff to answer:
- Rebuild the offensive line - Arguably one of the worst in the Power Five, this is major rebuild, and the work begins this week (46%, 102 Votes)
- Establish an offensive identity - Mike Sanford is the new offensive coordinator, and with the CU offense in the 100's in most offensive categories, this is job one (40%, 88 Votes)
- Resume the quarterback battle - Will Brendon Lewis shut the door on the competition, or will the battle continue on to the fall? (8%, 18 Votes)
- Replace key departures on defense - It's not just Landman and Wells, it's 3/4 of the starting secondary. The Buffs need to identify new starters - and quickly (5%, 12 Votes)
- Identify a new lead running back - Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year Jarek Broussard is gone, as is Ashaad Clayton. Is 2019 leading rusher Alex Fontenot the answer? (1%, 0 Votes)

Colorado opens spring practices this week. What is your level of excitement for spring ball, 2022?
- Low. I don't know if it's the lack of success in the past, or the lack of prospects for this season, but I'm not real excited about spring ball this year (42%, 84 Votes)
- Medium. It will be good to have some real football to talk about, though spring practices don't really move the meter that much. Still, good to see Buffs in pads again (36%, 73 Votes)
- High. No faster way to get the 2021 season (and off-season) behind this team than to put on pads and get a fresh start on getting ready for this fall (22%, 44 Votes)

How would you rate your level of concern over the linebacker corps heading into spring practices?
- Medium. There is talent in the linebacker corps, but I'm not sure it's enough to make up for the deficiencies along the defensive line and the holes in the secondary (53%, 75 Votes)
- High. Two NFL linebackers, Nate Landman and Carson Wells, are gone, and there isn't a great deal of proven talent behind them (25%, 36 Votes)
- Low. The Buffs have a good mix of young talent and transfer experience. I believe this is one of the strongest units on the team (22%, 31 Votes)

Adidas announces a plan to offer NIL network, offering 50,000 student athletes deals for endorsements. Thoughts?
- How would this work? Many schools (including CU) have long term deals with Nike. Your telling me CU is still going to get Nike dollars with athletes wearing Adidas gear? Won't happen (40%, 47 Votes)
- I just like the idea of Nike being undercut a little in the sports marketing world. Perhaps it will cut down on the millions being pumped into the Oregon program, courtesy of the Ducks' competitors (36%, 42 Votes)
- I like the concept. This was what NIL was supposed to be about. Instead of paying coaches to wear shoes with brand names, the money should go to the student athletes generating the revenue (24%, 29 Votes)

Would you "subscribe" to a CU NIL Collective ($10 - $500/month) in exchange for autographs, apparel, meet-and-greets, etc.?
- Maybe. In a sense, it's not much different than contributing to the Buff Club or buying season tickets. I'd have to see what it would cost (and/or what I could get) before deciding to participate (43%, 88 Votes)
- No. I'm opposed to paying players, and I don't like the direction college football is heading. If this is the only way for CU to be competitive in college football in the 2020's, count me out (30%, 62 Votes)
- Yes! I understand that this is the way of the world going forward, and if it helps CU to retain current players and attract new ones, then I am in (get it done, Buff Club!) (27%, 55 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??? 🙂
