Which of the following quotes from CU athletic director Rick George did you have to read twice?
  • “We have some that want to come to us and talk about creating a collective and we’ll be in process of looking at what that looks like for our student-athletes, but we intend to be competitive". When? (43%, 50 Votes)
  • "We’re going to take a little bit of a deep breath ... By the time we get to August and those student-athletes come back, we’ll make some changes". Why wait? No one else is (42%, 49 Votes)
  • “We’re not going to put an eight-figure deal out there for a student-athlete. That’s not our focus". How about a six-figure deal? How about five-figures? (15%, 18 Votes)

Athlon on CU: "Outside expectations are low, but with a rebuilt staff and young talent, there is a quiet confidence". Thoughts?
  • I just hope that there is more than a little grain of truth in the quote. Buff fans need to have something to hang their hats on over this long off-season (64%, 82 Votes)
  • I can definitely see it. National pundits only saw the Transfer Portal defections and the schedules and drew their conclusions. Folks in the Champions Center know different (23%, 30 Votes)
  • Preseason magazines try and find SOMETHING good to say about each team. If when praising the Buffs, the quote comes with a qualifier. The next publication to predict a winning season will be the first (13%, 16 Votes)

CU wide receivers coach Phil McGeoghan promoted to assistant head coach. Thoughts?
  • Does this mean that some other team (with more cash?) was already after McGeoghan? If so, this might have been a good preemptive move. I hope that the recognition (and extra $$) will keep him at CU (57%, 82 Votes)
  • I like it. A popular coach with his players, and one of CU's best recruiters, it's good to see Karl Dorrell and CU recognizing Coach Phil's contributions (37%, 53 Votes)
  • Seems like a good coach, but he has yet to coach a game at Folsom. Shouldn't cash-strapped CU look to see results on the field before handing out rewards? (6%, 8 Votes)

CU picks up two commitments in the past 24 hours - a speedy cornerback and a large offensive lineman. Thoughts?
  • Speed and size - what the Buffs need. Taylor Starling is a track star (10.49 in the 100); and Drew Perez is huge (6'8", 330). Welcome, Texans, to the Black and Gold! (47%, 78 Votes)
  • Starling is fast, and Perez is large. I just hope that Perez is not a replacement for Naquil Betrand, who committed in March, but has since blown up ... and is sniffing around for a better deal (37%, 62 Votes)
  • Let me get this straight. It's June, and CU has managed to pick up two commitments from Texas who were not rated by either Rivals or 247 Sports? Another banner day for the Buffs! (16%, 27 Votes)

CU's Karl Dorrell the 9th-highest paid head coach in the Pac-12 (at $3.6 million for 2022). Thoughts?
  • Probably about right. Dorrell's contract is in line with that of Herm Edwards at ASU and Jonathan Smith at Oregon State. Produce more wins ... and get paid more (75%, 120 Votes)
  • You get what you pay for. If Dorrell is 9th in pay, then it's reasonable to expect that CU won't be better than 9th in the standings. Here's hoping CU is willing to pay premium for the next coach (16%, 26 Votes)
  • Too high for the results on the field. Dorrell's contract is ahead of Arizona's Jedd Fisch and two new head coaches. Based on preseason predictions, Dorrell should be 12th in the conference in pay (9%, 13 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??? 🙂
