CU Hall of Famer Carroll Hardy passes away. Which of Hardy's accomplishments do you find to be the most impressive?
  • That Hardy had better numbers in '54 than Heisman trophy winner Wisconsin's Alan Ameche (more rushing yards; eight touchdowns to zero) ... and should have won CU's first Heisman (43%, 82 Votes)
  • That Hardy had a .392 batting average at CU; spent ten years playing in the MLB (after a year in the NFL); and is the only player to pinch-hit for Ted Williams (30%, 57 Votes)
  • That Hardy won ten letters at CU (Football; baseball; track). Behind Hardy? Dave Logan (with eight) and Hale Irwin (with six) (27%, 53 Votes)

Rate your opinion as to the chances of CU playing at Oregon seven weekends from now ...
  • Low. Most of the FCS is already out, now joined by the MAC ... the dominoes are starting to fall, and the Power Five will have no choice but to wait until spring (65%, 158 Votes)
  • Medium. There have certainly been some highs and some lows the past few weeks, but there is too much at stake (financially) not to play, so I'm guessing it's going to happen (28%, 69 Votes)
  • High. Power Five schools are going to figure out how to get this done, even if it means not having fans. Go Buffs - get the upset win! (7%, 16 Votes)

CSU suspends football activities following allegations of racism, verbal abuse. Thoughts?
  • This is just the latest nail in the CSU coffin. Carrying the highest debt in G-5, the Rams lost paydays against CU, Oregon State and Vandy. Now they have a toxic coach. RIP, CSU (48%, 87 Votes)
  • This will be just the first of a number of schools facing allegations of improper/inadequate treatment of players. CSU has other issues here, but the Rams won't be the only program to have a tough go (47%, 85 Votes)
  • It doesn't matter. It's just a matter of time before CSU gets its Big 12 invitation, which will make all of its troubles go away (P.S., I'm a CSU troll) (5%, 10 Votes)

The Preseason USA Today/Coaches poll is out, with three teams from the Pac-12 ranked. Thoughts?
  • I would be excited about the preseason poll as a sign that the beginning of the season was imminent ... if I actually believed that a season was less than a month away from starting (I don't) (52%, 77 Votes)
  • About right. You'd expect to see Oregon, USC and Utah ranked (perhaps ASU replacing Utah), so the conference is right about where you'd expect it to be nationally (27%, 40 Votes)
  • Seven of CU's ten opponents received votes in the poll, which would be scary, until you realize the likes of Stanford (4-8), Nebraska (5-7) and Washington State (6-7) received votes. Yeesh! (21%, 31 Votes)

CU giving season ticket holders four options. If you are/were a season ticket holder, which would you choose?
  • Option 3 - Opt-Out, and apply the payment for season tickets towards season tickets for the 2021 season (51%, 91 Votes)
  • Option 1 - Opt-In for the 2020 season (noting restrictions on crowd size; little or no tailgating/concessions, etc.) (23%, 42 Votes)
  • Option 4 - Opt-Out, and receive a full refund (16%, 29 Votes)
  • Option 2 - Opt-Out, and leave the payment for season tickets as a tax-deductible donation to the CU scholarship fund (10%, 17 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??? 🙂
