CBS men's basketball rankings - CU in at No. 31: "The Buffaloes will be in the NCAA Tournament five months from now". Thoughts?
  • Both the men's and women's teams on the fringe of the Top 25, and the football team a weekly national story? Dawn of a golden age at CU? Hard to believe ... but I'll take it! (60%, 112 Votes)
  • It's a long time to March, and the Pac-12 has some very good men's teams and some excellent women's teams. Let's see Tad get through the non-conference in good shape before making predictions (28%, 53 Votes)
  • I'm glad the bye week is coming to an end, so we can get back to focusing in on football. Read my lips: No interest in basketball until December (or even January) (12%, 23 Votes)

Which goal from the CU 2024-26 Strategic Plan to you is the most eyebrow raising?
  • To have the football team qualify for a bowl each season ('24 - '26), and win at least one conference championship. Coach Prime: Make it so! (55%, 109 Votes)
  • That fundraising goals are projected to go up $3 million/year, from $26 million to $29 million to $32 million. I hope the Buff Nation will come through (25%, 49 Votes)
  • That naming rights revenue is projected to go from $600K to $1.6 million to $2.6 million. Does this mean that stadium naming rights are coming in our near future? (20%, 41 Votes)

Kickoff for Colorado v. Oregon State (Saturday, November 4th) has been set for an 8:00 p.m., MT, kickoff (ESPN). Thoughts?
  • I hate it. Just like Coach Prime, I think late night games are for the birds. I'm sure the haters will fixate on Coach Prime's previous statements about late starts ... Sigh! (51%, 114 Votes)
  • Wow. We live in a world where Top 10 Oregon has been on the Pac-12 Networks four times, and CU only once. (CU will have to make one more appearance on Pac-12 Networks - never a problem before) (25%, 57 Votes)
  • Another game with national exposure. It's amazing how Coach Prime and the Buffs continue to attract national attention. I hope recruits are paying attention - You want to be on TV? Come to Boulder! (24%, 54 Votes)

CU opens as a 17.0-point underdog on the road against UCLA (Saturday, 5:30 p.m., MT, ABC). Thoughts?
  • Sounds about right (sad to say). The Buffs haven't shown that they can stop any decent offense, and UCLA has a very good rushing attack. This will be close to a 17.0-point game come last Saturday (42%, 88 Votes)
  • I'm very worried about this game. With CU's fragile psyche at this point, the game could get out of hand early. Until the Buffs can prove otherwise ... take the opponents, regardless of the spread (31%, 65 Votes)
  • Take the Buffs and the points - easy money! We're back to August, when everyone was underestimating the Buffs. No chance that CU doesn't cover this spread (27%, 57 Votes)

What grade would you give the Colorado defense for the first half of the 2023 season?
  • A D ... In the bottom ten in the nation in total defense and scoring defense, the collapse against Stanford may be just a prelude to a somber second half of the season (71%, 158 Votes)
  • A C ... The Buffs are 4-3, and that's better than most pundits had CU at this stage. If the Buffs had held on v. Stanford, and CU was 5-2, we wouldn't be so pessimistic. CU is holding its own (26%, 59 Votes)
  • A B ... Considering the injuries and the competition, the defense, with 12 turnovers gained and some timely good play, will continue to improve (3%, 6 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??? 🙂
