Buffs open basketball season with an 82-66 win over UC-Riverside. Thoughts?
  • A nice win. The Buffs let UC-Riverside get it's only lead (15-14), then put together a 14-0 run and never looked back. A good team win with ten players scoring. Nice start to the season! (51%, 89 Votes)
  • The Buffs have a game on the road this Sunday against No. 11 Tennessee (Noon, MT, ESPN). Win that game, and we'll talk then about a good start to the season (27%, 47 Votes)
  • I guess it's good that the Buffs opened the season with a win. One concern: It came before the smallest first-game crowd in the Tad Boyle era (5,388). The Buff Nation has gone into hibernation (22%, 37 Votes)

CU Recruiting Class of 2023 has added three recruits in the past week, including the highest-rated recruit in the Class. Thoughts?
  • Hats off to interim head coach Mike Sanford and the coaching staff. Despite an uncertain future, these coaches have represented CU well. Thanks, coaches! (46%, 123 Votes)
  • I'll be interested to see how this plays out. Amazingly enough, CU has received more commitments since Dorrell was fired than have had players decommit. I hope this trend holds through to Signing Day (37%, 98 Votes)
  • Hats off to these players. They say that players are supposed to chose a school, not a coach, but these young men have taken it to heart. Welcome, Mr. Onovughe, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Shaw! (17%, 46 Votes)

Colorado opens as a 34.0-point underdog to No. 8 USC. Thoughts?
  • Is it still November? Can't we just fast forward through the next three weeks (except for CU basketball, of course), and get to the naming of the new CU head coach? (49%, 113 Votes)
  • Yeah, whatever. The Buffs were 31.5-point underdogs to Oregon. I guess USC gets another three points for being at home. As usual, take CU's opponent, give the points, and collect on Saturday (37%, 85 Votes)
  • It's a short week, and USC will definitely be looking past the Buffs, getting ready for their game against UCLA the following week. No chance CU wins, but the Buffs have a shot at a back door cover (14%, 31 Votes)

No. 8 Oregon 49, Colorado 10. Thoughts?
  • I hope Rick George and Phil DiStefano noted Christian Gonzalez had two picks which turned the game into a rout. Without changes, Jordyn Tyson will also be playing against the Buffs next fall (59%, 168 Votes)
  • Just about how everyone figured. It was a 31-point spread, and the Ducks were in control throughout, with 14 points in the first, second, and third quarters. Another day, another rout for the Buffs (26%, 75 Votes)
  • The Buffs actually showed some fight on both sides of the ball. You can't overcome three turnovers, a missed field goal, and turn it over on downs three times and expect to be competitive (15%, 43 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado v. Oregon (Saturday, 1:30 p.m., MT, ESPN)
  • Oh-Mi-God. The No. 3 offense in the nation against the No. 3 (from the bottom) defense (No. 128 overall). Oregon won 70-14 in 2012 ... sounds about right (54%, 99 Votes)
  • Let's see how the Buffs react to being down early. Do they continue to fight? Or do they fold their tents, letting us know that November will just be a series of embarrassments? (29%, 52 Votes)
  • I can see a back door cover here. The line is 31.5, and the Ducks may have that edge by halftime. I can see Oregon resting its starters (Washington next week), with CU scoring late to cover (17%, 31 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??? 🙂
