While the CU women are fighting for a No. 1 seed in March Madness, Tad Boyle's Buffs (14-5, 5-3) are a bubble team. Will the Buffs make the tournament?
  • Still to be determined. If CU plays as well as they did this past weekend against the Oregon schools this upcoming weekend against the Washington schools, I'll be a believer (51%, 121 Votes)
  • Yes. The Buffs have a number of quality (Quad 1) wins, and are getting better now that they are healthy. CU's position in the bracket will only approve with time (31%, 72 Votes)
  • No. The Buffs are winless in true road games, and five of the next seven games are on the road. I'm seeing the Buffs sliding out of the tournament discussion (18%, 43 Votes)

Offensive lineman Jack Wilty becomes the fourth 2023 offensive lineman to enter the Transfer Portal. Thoughts?
  • Wilty graded 35.6 on Pro Football Focus, worst among the CU offensive and defensive players with more than 19 snaps last fall. He had a 13.2 grade on 102 pass plays on PFF. Addition by subtraction (53%, 141 Votes)
  • Makes sense. Wilty was only a part-time player (146 snaps over six games) on a unit which was one of the worst in Power Five football. Doubtful he would have seen playing time in 2024 (40%, 107 Votes)
  • While I wasn't a fan of the '23 O-line, losing Wilty, Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan, Van Wells and Jeremiah McCrimmon is not a good sign. CU needs some continuity (and depth) in the line (7%, 17 Votes)

Which of the following Larry Zimmer quotes would you rate as the most memorable?
  • Trick question. There are so many memorable Larry Zimmer quotes, that it is impossible to choose just one. Thanks, Zim ... and Rest in Peace (68%, 160 Votes)
  • 1994: "The ball's in the air - CAUGHT! Colorado scores! The ball was tipped, and the Buffaloes came up with it! Time has run out. Colorado has won the game!" (11%, 27 Votes)
  • 1986: "20-10, CU leads Nebraska. They have waited a long time for this. So many times, the Red Flood has come into Folsom Field, and have gone back to the north a winner. It won't be this time" (11%, 26 Votes)
  • 1994: "Salaam to the outside. He's out to the 50. He's got 2,000! He's on his way ... Did he get in? Yes! Touchdown, Rashaan Salaam! This place is coming apart!!" (10%, 23 Votes)

Buffs dominate Oregon State, 90-57, to complete a three-game homestand with a 3-0 sweep. Thoughts?
  • The Buffs are undefeated at home ... but winless in true road games. The next three games are all on the road (Washington schools; Utah). Win those three (winnable) games, and I'll be on board (63%, 115 Votes)
  • The Buffs are finally healthy, and are showing what they can do when all of the parts are in place. This is going to be an exciting spring for the Buff Nation! (28%, 52 Votes)
  • It was a nice win over Oregon, but the Buffs had to come from way back to beat USC, and Oregon State ... isn't a competitive team. Glad CU got the wins, but I'm not reading too much into the sweep (9%, 17 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from former Jackson State defensive back, Herman Smith. Thoughts?
  • Classes have started at CU, so any new transfer is not likely to be in Boulder until June. Unless the transfer is from Washington, Arizona or Alabama - just say no (58%, 98 Votes)
  • So ... CU is now taking transfers from Idaho State (where Smith played last year after two years at Jackson State). Either the Transfer Portal is devoid of talent, or Coach Prime is losing his touch (27%, 45 Votes)
  • I like this pickup. Smith has played for Coach Prime, so he knows what to expect and what's expected of him. He'll be hungry to prove he can play at the Power Five level (15%, 25 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??? 🙂
