CU receives commitments from FCS All-American running back Ramon Jefferson and JC sophomore offensive lineman Alex Harkey. Thoughts?
  • There should be a few other new commitments between now and Signing Day on Wednesday. I just hope that this is the start of a good week for the CU roster ... the Buffs need all the help they can get (47%, 139 Votes)
  • An FCS running back and a JC offensive lineman - neither with much in the way of offers from other schools. It's okay to get new players in positions of need, but I doubt Pac-12 rivals are concerned (28%, 83 Votes)
  • Very excited. Two recruits in positions of need. Jefferson will compete for a starting role this fall, and Harkey will supply quality depth. A good day for the Buff Nation (25%, 72 Votes)

Do you have confidence that CU will have the resources and the backing to be competitive in the Age of NIL and Transfer Portal?
  • Not so far - 21 transfers out; four in. CU's NIL clearinghouse set up seven months after NIL went into effect. Not a good start, but there is time to catch up (45%, 153 Votes)
  • No chance. Other schools outside the Top 25 (see: Arizona; Arizona State and Utah just in the Pac-12 South) are finding ways to compete - CU seems indifferent and unengaged (41%, 138 Votes)
  • Yes. "Competitive" is relative, of course. Can CU compete with USC and Oregon? No - but that's nothing new. CU, though, can and should be able to hold its own against other rivals. (14%, 46 Votes)

Arizona ousts several assistant coaches, including its offensive coordinator. Thoughts?
  • Much ado about nothing. As long as Herm Edwards remains the head coach, and ASU doesn't lose any scholarships or bowl opportunities, it's all window dressing (70%, 198 Votes)
  • Now we know why former Baltimore Ravens head coach Brian Billick was hired as a special assistant. If Herm gets the boot ... ASU gets another NFL head coach to run the show (15%, 42 Votes)
  • It's about time. Perhaps the NCAA is about to actually do something, and impose some real sanctions for a change, and give ASU some real penalties (15%, 41 Votes)

CU's non-conference schedule (TCU, at Air Force, at Minnesota) rated the most difficult in the Pac-12. Thoughts?
  • I'm tired of this. UCLA is playing Bowling Green, Alabama State and South Alabama. The Bruins will be 3-0 and well on their way to a bowl bid ... while CU could be 0-3. Not making much sense (41%, 117 Votes)
  • We'll see. If the Buffs are competitive, and pick up a win or two, it will bode well for the rest of the season. An 0-3 start, though, would set the Buffs on their way to another losing season. Sigh (38%, 110 Votes)
  • Not a problem. Bill McCartney says in order to be the best you have to play the best. The Buffs have to get their act together and find a way to compete. Just do it! (21%, 61 Votes)

Would you support a no-division, eight-game Pac-12 conference schedule?
  • Depends. I would like to see how such a schedule would work out. If 1's play 1's and 8's play 8's, I'd be on board. But if CU takes on Nebraska while Oregon picks Duke, no thanks (45%, 106 Votes)
  • Yes! It would free up CU and other schools to have an extra non-conference game against a Big Ten or ACC school. Mix it up and let's go! (38%, 90 Votes)
  • No. The downside is that it will end up like the old Big Eight. Remember the "Big Two (NE and OK) and the Little Six"? USC, Oregon ... and everyone else. Divisions help schools like CU have a chance (17%, 40 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??? 🙂
