Defensive lineman Antonio Alfano ends his career at CU before it begins, entering the Transfer Portal. Thoughts?
  • With his epilepsy and other issues, I'm not sure that he will ever play college football. I hope everything works out for him ... on and off the field. (58%, 239 Votes)
  • You can't miss what you never had. Alfano never got on the field for the Buffs - not even the practice field. It is what it is - I'm happy to focus on the Buffs in uniform (31%, 126 Votes)
  • Just add Alfano to the list of the highest-ever rated CU recruits to wash out (Marcus Houston, Darrell Scott, etc.). CU destined to never have a five-star prospect who becomes a five-star player (11%, 45 Votes)

McKinley Wright passed over for Pac-12 Player-of-the-Year honors. Thoughts?
  • I just hope that the Buffs win their game against Stanford/Cal, and get to face USC in the semis ... and Wright takes the opportunity to show the country why should have been the Pac-12 POTY (68%, 188 Votes)
  • Wright had a good season, but Evan Mobley was not only the Player of the Year but the Defensive Player of the Year. A likely Top Five NBA draft pick, he was a logical choice (19%, 52 Votes)
  • Figures. Until or unless Colorado breaks through and starts winning Pac-12 titles and/or NCAA tournament games, achievements of its players will not receive conference and national recognition (13%, 36 Votes)

Which figures from the CU RAPID Report do you find to be the most interesting?
  • That in FY '20, which includes a COVID shutdown over the final four months, CU still showed a profit of $3.6 million (and that CU has basically broken even financially over the past three years) (73%, 128 Votes)
  • That in the spring semester (2020) all 15 of CU's athletic teams had a cumulative GPA over 3.0 (up from 11 of 15 for the Fall, 2019, semester (25%, 44 Votes)
  • That in FY 2019, CU raised $27.2, but in FY 2020, that fundraising was almost cut in half, down to $14..5 million. Not a huge surprise, but it shows there is plenty of work to do going forward (2%, 3 Votes)

CU in the Associated Press poll for the second consecutive week, coming in at No. 23. Thoughts?
  • The only poll that means anything is the final poll. If CU is in the final poll of the season, that would mean that the Buffs did well in the NCAA tournament ... and that's what we really want to see (75%, 9 Votes)
  • Great to get that national recognition. This will generate extra coverage from the national media, and will garner more coverage of CU's games in the Pac-12 tournament (25%, 3 Votes)
  • Unlike the college football poll, the basketball poll really doesn't carry much weight or interest. A nice get, but not all that important (0%, 0 Votes)

Other than the much-discussed record of being the only 1,700-point, 600-assist, and 600-rebound player in Pac-12 history, which McKinley Wright record impresses you the most?
  • That he has been named Pac-12 Player-of-the-Week six times, behind only Gary Payton (OSU - 9), Chris Mills (Ariz - 7) and Harold Miner (USC - 7) in Pac-12 history (53%, 121 Votes)
  • That he is CU's career assists leader, handing out almost 100 more assists (655-to-562) than the No. 2 Buff on the list, Jay Humphries (35%, 80 Votes)
  • That he has scored in double digits in 105 games in his CU career, having passed Josh Scott (95) on CU's all-time list earlier this year (12%, 27 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??? 🙂
