Ten years ago, the University of Colorado accepted an invitation to join the Pac-12. Thoughts?
- Despite CU's performance on the field since joining the Pac-12, it was still a good move. CU is a much better fit in the Pac-12 than it ever was in the Big 12 (44%, 117 Votes)
- Still to be determined. Let's see what happens with the next round of media rights (and with the next few years with Karl Dorrell as head coach) (38%, 99 Votes)
- Not a fan. CU's historical reference came against Big 8 - and then Big 12 - foes. The excitement over the home-and-home with Nebraska tells you all you need to know (18%, 47 Votes)

Should schools isolate their teams/star players in order to try and mitigate exposure?
- Not sure, if it means that student-athletes are isolated. If the campus is safe for students, it's safe for student-athletes (48%, 76 Votes)
- Not sure, if it means that certain players (e.g., quarterbacks, star linebackers) get special treatment. Teams should treat their players equally - to do otherwise sends the wrong message (37%, 58 Votes)
- Makes sense. It's inevitable that there will be cases of COVID-19 - there have already been reports of positive tests at other schools - so taking steps to reduce potential cases makes good sense (15%, 23 Votes)

Which of following Karl Dorrell's Monday press conference quotes stands out most for you?
- "I think there is a sense of urgency that our players have kind of embraced of, 'Let's get ourselves ready to go.' We have to make up for a lot of time" (71%, 120 Votes)
- "The testing process (for COVID-19) will start this week ... I would say the bulk of the team (will be) here (next week) and ready to go" (17%, 29 Votes)
- "I think because of this pandemic everybody is in the same boat so it actually puts us on a level playing field, in my opinion" (12%, 19 Votes)

Athlon has six players on its (four-team deep) Preseason All-Pac-12 teams (tied for ninth in the conference). Thoughts?
- I was interested to see that both Arizona and UCLA had even fewer players listed ... an indication of how wide open the Pac-12 South is going to be ... take advantage, Buffs! (48%, 71 Votes)
- Sounds about right. When you have one bowl appearance in 12 years, you are not going to get much preseason love (especially with a new coach and no known quarterback) (34%, 51 Votes)
- All you need to know about anti-CU bias: Stanford, which went 4-8 last season, has 12 players on the list, double that of CU - another preseason ranking to ignore (18%, 26 Votes)

What do you like best about CU's plans for reopening facilities for voluntary workouts?
- That CU is even being allowed to move forward ... I thought that either the city, county or state would find a way to keep the Buffs from keeping up with other Pac-12 schools (51%, 92 Votes)
- A seven-day quarantine for those who arrive from out of state before they can begin any workouts, and physicals for all of the athletes. It sounds like CU has a sound strategy to get athletes back (27%, 49 Votes)
- That Buffs coaches could soon be returning to their offices instead of working remotely - they need all of the in-person time together as humanly possible (22%, 39 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??? 🙂
