College Football News rates Rashaan Salaam as the No. 3 candidate (out of 78) for the College Football Hall of Fame. Thoughts?
- Great ... It's about time that Salaam gets in. He should have been enshrined years ago. If Salaam is rated as the third-best candidate, and ten get in every year ... sounds pretty positive! (84%, 152 Votes)
- I'll see it when I see it. I don't know if it was Salaam's abbreviated NFL career, or off the field problems, but there seems to be an unwritten bias against his enshrinement (9%, 17 Votes)
- I don't know about this year, but Salaam should get in eventually. I'm just glad to see that no Pac-12 team has more nominees than does CU! (Six schools, including Oregon and Washington, have none) (7%, 11 Votes)

What to you was the most interesting/eyebrow raising news of the day?
- That there's a chance ESPN GameDay could come to Boulder for the USC game. It's a long shot (CU may have to beat A&M and ASU to make the game attractive), but it's nice to have a goal! (42%, 88 Votes)
- That three Buffs - Rashaan Salaam, Joe Garten, and Chris Hudson - are on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot (How is it that Salaam isn't already in the Hall?) (38%, 79 Votes)
- That there is a Top 25 college football uniform list, and CU is not on the list (and/or that someone would think that Oregon has the best taste in uniforms) (20%, 41 Votes)

In person recruiting back in place - for the first time since Karl Dorrell was hired to coach CU. Rate your level of excitement/interest:
- High. Success on the field begins with success in recruiting. How will Dorrell and staff do now that in-person recruiting has returned? Fingers crossed that Dorrell can raise CU's profile (44%, 99 Votes)
- Medium. When CU's coaches say "the buzz around the office has been palpable", my ears perk up. Interested to hear about new commitments (38%, 85 Votes)
- Low. Signing Day is still a long ways away, and the Transfer Portal is now just as important as Signing Day. Not super excited about what 17-year olds are saying in June (18%, 42 Votes)

As we take a "Stroll Down Memory Lane" this summer, which is the season you remember most fondly?
- 20th anniversary of 2001 - Another season which opened on a down note (loss to Fresno State), but ended in a rout of Nebraska (62-36, anyone?), and CU's one and only Big 12 title (52%, 117 Votes)
- 30th anniversary of 1991 - A run to a three-peat Big Eight championship, including the epic "Ice Bowl" game in Folsom against Nebraska (18%, 41 Votes)
- 35th anniversary of 1986 - A season which started 0-4, but gave us the 20-10 upset over Nebraska which set the stage for a national title run (14%, 32 Votes)
- 5th anniversary of 2016 - After a decade of roaming in the desert of college football, the Buffs make an impressive and unexpected run to the Pac-12 South title (10%, 22 Votes)
- 25th anniversary of 1996 - The Buffs open the first ever season of the Big 12 as the No. 5 team in the nation, and make an impressive run to a 10-win season and a top ten finish (6%, 13 Votes)

Pac-12 schedules four games in 12 hours (all three hours apart) to be aired on the Pac-12 Networks on September 4th. Thoughts?
- I'm just glad that CU is playing on Friday night, and will not be part of the Pac-12's quadruple-header nightmare ... and have CU fans at home miss the first quarter of the game against UNC (69%, 103 Votes)
- Leave it to the Pac-12 to schedule a quadruple-header on a Network no one can get, and on a schedule impossible to keep. Good luck getting fans to see every snap of every game, Pac-12! (22%, 33 Votes)
- I'm guessing that all of the other network partners were spoken for on the first weekend of non-conference play. That happens when you schedule three lower division Mountain West teams as opponents (9%, 13 Votes)

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!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
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??? 🙂
