- That the Pac-12 needs to embrace the streaming market with its next TV contracts, and get out ahead of the other conferences (39%, 88 Votes)
- That the Pac-12 needs to lead the charge on expanding the College Football Playoff (so the Pac-12 will finally get an entrant) (14%, 31 Votes)
- That the Pac-12 needs to do a better job of selling recruits on the advantage of staying home (3%, 6 Votes)

Folsom Field listed as the 19th "quietest" stadium among the Power-Five conferences. Thoughts?
- Probably about right. With the way the Buffs have been playing the past decade-and-a-half, less-than-rabid crowds cheering on less-than-stellar teams could certainly look pretty tame from afar (42%, 73 Votes)
- Hard to say ... but I'm just glad to see a ranking where CU is ranked ahead (behind?) UCLA, Cal, USC, Stanford (all four California schools deemed "quiet"?!?) and Arizona (32%, 55 Votes)
- Not so. Not sure who was the rankings, but they put six teams from the Pac-12 in the Top 20 - clearly biased against the Pac-12. I've been to some pretty loud games at Folsom, thank you very much! (26%, 45 Votes)

Which addition to the Buff Nation this weekend are you most excited about?
- Senior transfer point guard Mason Faulkner. The Buffs biggest need for the 2021-22 season was a replacement at point guard for McKinley Wright ... and Tad Boyle may have just found his man (51%, 155 Votes)
- Freshman offensive lineman Noah Fenske. Iowa develops quality linemen, and Fenske comes to CU with four years of eligibility remaining. He may not start in 2021, but he is a welcome addition (35%, 105 Votes)
- Freshman tight end Austin Smith. How can you not get excited about a 6'5", 220-pounder who can run an 11.01 in the 100? Coaches wouldn't have signed him if they didn't see something special (14%, 42 Votes)

CU picks up a transfer offensive lineman from Iowa, Noah Fenske. Thoughts?
- A quality offensive lineman with size (6'5", 295-pounds) with four years to play four? And in a position of need? Nice pickup! (60%, 153 Votes)
- CU has now added two scholarship players in the past two days - to a roster which is already over the 88-scholarship limit. May will be an interesting month for the CU roster ... (30%, 76 Votes)
- No offense, but Fenske was a backup at Iowa. Any reason to believe that he won't be a backup at CU? Trusting the coaches, but not breaking out the champagne, either (10%, 24 Votes)

CU picks up a late Class of 2021 commitment from Texas tight end Austin Smith. Thoughts?
- I guess we're going to have to trust the coaches on this one. Guess we'll see which tight ends are asked to leave, and hope Mr. Smith is an upgrade (53%, 128 Votes)
- A chiseled 6'5", 220-pound tight end from Texas who runs an 11.01 in the 100? What's not to like? Welcome to the Black-and-Gold, Mr. Smith! (31%, 75 Votes)
- Are you kidding me? The Buffs are already over the limit on scholarships, and have 12 (count 'em, 12) tight ends on the roster. Hard to figure how/why CU would want a late two-star tight end (16%, 40 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??? 🙂
