Dorrell on three-man battle to join Carson Wells on the field at outside linebacker: "All three of those guys have great qualities but no one’s taken the job yet". Thoughts?
  • For now, I'll go with this Dorrell quote: "But it’s a good situation because they’ve all gotten better" - and hope one of the trio separates themselves during camp (59%, 100 Votes)
  • Sounds good to me. Having three quality players - Joshka Gustav, Guy Thomas and Jamar Montgomery - is a nice problem to have (24%, 41 Votes)
  • Dorrell's quote - "If they want the job, they have to be consistent, much like what Carson (Wells) is, and really compete within that group" - is a bit troubling. CU needs someone to step up (17%, 28 Votes)

Phil Steele has the CU linebacker corps 7th in the nation; while Athlon's has the Buff backers 7th ... in the Pac-12. Thoughts?
  • As usual, the answer is probably somewhere in between. If everyone stays healthy, and the transfers are four-star quality, this group could dominate. But ... look what happened when Landman got hurt (57%, 127 Votes)
  • I'm with Phil Steele. Nate Landman is an All-American, and Carson Wells is one of the most underrated backers in the Pac-12. Throw in transfers Robert Barnes and Jack Lamb - it's all good (41%, 90 Votes)
  • Athlon may be closer to correct. CU was 76th in total defense and 77th in scoring defense last year. With CU, it's always guilty until proven innocent (2%, 4 Votes)

Which Karl Dorrell quote from the first day of practice do you find to be the most interesting/intriguing?
  • "It was good to see a lot of those transfer players, Max Wray, Noah Fenske, all those guys. It is definitely a better football team than we had a year ago" (62%, 142 Votes)
  • On LB Nate Landman: "Hearing his voice barking out calls and adjustments on the defense is very comforting to me as a head coach (19%, 44 Votes)
  • "I thought today's practice proved to me they were doing some work over the summer. I was really pleased with our effort" (19%, 43 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from a three-star offensive tackle from Aurora, Travis Gray. Thoughts?
  • Already 6'6", 300-pounds in high school? And an in-state commitment in an area of need. Seems to check all of the boxes. Welcome, Mr. Gray, to the black-and-gold (80%, 224 Votes)
  • Nice to see a few Power Five conference offers for Mr. Gray, but you have to be concerned that CU is picking up in-state commitment No. 1 ... in August (11%, 32 Votes)
  • The Class of '22 is up to 13 members. Each new recruit equates to a current member of the roster being asked to move on. Is Mr. Gray better than what CU currently has? We'll see ... (9%, 23 Votes)

Report: Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff meeting with Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby. Thoughts?
  • I like the tweet Kliavkoff posted today: "One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say to say." --Bryant McGill. The Pac-12 has a winner with Kliavkoff (62%, 155 Votes)
  • Not a good idea. Kliavkoff and the Pac-12 should stay far away from the "Irate Eight". There is no upside to the remnants of the league, and an alliance will only hurt the reputation of the Pac-12 (24%, 61 Votes)
  • Like it. Whether it is a merger or merely an alliance against what the SEC is up to, it's important that the Pac-12 and what's left of the Big 12 form alliances to remain relevant (14%, 35 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??? 🙂
