Which of the 2021 CU Hall of Fame football inductees for you brings about the fondest memories?
- Running back Chris Brown (2001-02) - Six touchdowns against Nebraska - 'nuff said. Finished fourth on the CU all-time rushing list, even though he only played two seasons in Boulder (75%, 180 Votes)
- Offensive lineman Chris Naeole (1993-96) - Consensus first-team All-American. Only player in CU history to be voted top soph-to-be; top junior-to-be; and top senior-to-be. First round NFL draft pick (18%, 42 Votes)
- Defensive back Mickey Pruitt (1984-87) - Three time first-team conference - and his tackle of Oregon QB Chris Miller in '85 was called by Coach Mac as the "turning point in the program" (7%, 17 Votes)

Which factoid from the Essay about Karl Dorrell to you is the most surprising?
- That Dorrell became the first coach in CU history to open the season with an unranked team, and lead the Buffs into the national rankings (No. 21 in the AP poll on December 6th) (68%, 127 Votes)
- That of the 23 new head coaches in 2020, Karl Dorrell was the last to lose a game (December 12th), and finished with the fourth-best winning percentage (17%, 31 Votes)
- That Dorrell was just the third coach in CU history to lead the Buffs to a bowl game in his first season, joining Rick Neuheisel (1995) and Gary Barnett (1999) (15%, 29 Votes)

CU listed as a 20:1 shot to win the Pac-12 championship. Thoughts?
- I'm just glad to see CU is getting a little more respect in terms of the conference. Not too far removed from Utah and UCLA, and well ahead of Arizona. That's progress (41%, 58 Votes)
- About right. CU has plenty of players back, but football titles are won by teams with superior quarterbacks. CU has several good quarterbacks, but none proven to be superior (36%, 51 Votes)
- Take the bet! Not saying that CU should be the favorite to win the conference, but those are great odds for a team which has as good a shot as any in the South division to get to the title game (23%, 34 Votes)

College Football News sets the over/under on CU wins at 5.5. Thoughts?
- Doesn't matter. CU will continue to receive no national respect until it earns it on the field. Beat USC ... or Oregon ... or Texas A&M - then the pundits will pay attention and predict wins (55%, 99 Votes)
- About right, actually. If you look at CU's schedule, it's actually pretty hard to find a clear way to six wins and bowl eligibility (36%, 66 Votes)
- For a team which went 4-2 with no spring practices and a new coaching staff ... and has almost everyone back? Two low. Not unexpected from the national media, but too low nonetheless (9%, 16 Votes)

CU is currently in the process of selling Texas A&M tickets to season ticket holders. What are your current plans for the September 11th game?
- Not going to go ... 1) too expensive; 2) too far away; 3) have other plans; and/or 4) I hate going to CU games in Denver (43%, 85 Votes)
- I'll be there! Hopefully, there will be plenty of black-and-gold to offset the maroon-clad hordes which will inevitably descend upon Mile High (33%, 65 Votes)
- Still undecided. We'll see how many fans will be allowed into the stadium (sounds like a full house is a possibility), but I'm haven't gotten that far out on my plans for the fall (24%, 46 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??? 🙂
