CU receives a commitment from three-star wide receiver from Texas, Jordyn Tyson. Thoughts?
  • '“(OC and receivers) coach (Darrin) Chiaverini said he likes everything about my game, especially my ball skills and my route running" - Coach Chiv has earned the benefit of several doubts (43%, 113 Votes)
  • Can we stop pretending that we are impressed with this Class? No other Power Five offers? Not even rated by Rivals? I'd rather the coaches hold scholarships for transfers next spring than take flyers (33%, 86 Votes)
  • A lanky wide receiver from Texas, with a significant upside. This will be another recruit that fans don't like ... right up until his commitment blows up, and we get worried about losing him (24%, 63 Votes)

Which quote from junior Oklahoma linebacker transfer Robert Barnes do you like the best?
  • “I just knew that I wanted to help with the culture shift. That’s one thing (defensive coordinator Chris) Wilson was telling me before I came here and I wanted to be a part of that" (51%, 107 Votes)
  • On coming to CU as a junior: “The two years is almost like security ... I have time to build, I have time to grow, get better every single day and see where that takes me" (26%, 55 Votes)
  • "I’m already a vocal guy ... It’s been Nate’s role for the last four years. I’ve enjoyed being able to kind of piggyback off of that ... and can help guys get lined up and know what they’re doing" (23%, 47 Votes)

The USA Today/Coaches preseason poll has been released, with eight teams from the Pac-12 receiving votes. Thoughts?
  • All I know is ... CU was ranked outside the top 100 by CBS last year and ended up No. 30. CU won't get past perceptions of the past decade-and-a-half until the Buffs win consistently (72%, 155 Votes)
  • Pretty impressive, actually, that the downtrodden Pac-12 has two-thirds of its members receiving votes. If the Pac-12 has a good non-conference September, the Pac-12 champ should be in the CFP (14%, 30 Votes)
  • CU has beaten ASU three of the past four tries; Stanford three times in a row; and has won two of the last three v. UCLA. Where are the votes for CU? (14%, 29 Votes)

Which quote from defensive coordinator Chris Wilson gives you the most optimism about the 2021 season?
  • “A lot of good things happened a year ago. I believe we are going in the right direction ... When your fronts become great, your team becomes great” (70%, 144 Votes)
  • “The player who players is the player playing the best that week. Practice determines reps. I don’t determine (who plays), they do” (29%, 60 Votes)
  • “The biggest thing toward being prepared is being a good listener ... My job is to make sure that we’re on track, and, if we aren’t on track, what’s the next step” (1%, 2 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from a three-star "athlete" from Connecticut, Kenny Soares. Thoughts?
  • I'm not sure if Soares commitment will stick, but I do like that CU is willing to recruit nationally. If the Buffs are going compete for titles, CU needs to think (and recruit) outside the box (51%, 119 Votes)
  • An athlete who dominates at several different positions, and is being compared to Oklahoma transfer Robert Barnes? CU needs athletes if they are going to compete with USC/Oregon, and Soares is one (36%, 84 Votes)
  • Indiana and Maryland offered, but there were no other Power Five offers. Looks like a good candidate, but if a good eastern school (Boston College? Penn State?) offer, will Soares want to stay home? (13%, 31 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??? 🙂
