CU announces that the Texas A&M game will be played in Denver on September 11th. Thoughts?
- Not like this is a surprise - it's been discussed for some time. In a year when CU will need every dollar it can get, getting a large audience (and more TV money) makes sense (45%, 133 Votes)
- My worry - since the game is not part of the season ticket package, the game could well turn into an A&M home game. Not good for the team - and not good optics for the school (36%, 106 Votes)
- Not a fan. Texas A&M would have come to Boulder as a Top Ten team (perhaps Top Five). CU is giving up its home field advantage in exchange for the almighty dollar. Not smart (19%, 59 Votes)

TeamRankings.com gives CU (12-4, 6-3) a 97.7% chance of making the NCAA Tournament. Thoughts?
- I would like to believe that the Buffs are a lock, but the five-game home stretch is followed by four straight on the road. It's still January - hopeful, but only cautiously optimistic (41%, 109 Votes)
- Let's see ... Buffs lose to a winless Washington team, and almost lost to a 2-5 WSU team. Oh, and let's not forget last season's swoon. Not counting CU's tournament chickens just yet (33%, 89 Votes)
- Love it ... Buffs were down 18 on the road, with McKinley Wright injured, but found their way to a road win. This team believes in themselves, and it's time for the Buff Nation to get excited! (26%, 69 Votes)

What about the CU Eligibility Chart numbers do you find the most surprising?
- That CU will have at least nine returning starters on offense and nine returning starters on defense - pretty good news for a team which went 4-2 last season! (52%, 100 Votes)
- That, in theory, CU could trim six players from the current roster, play with 85 this fall (plus the three seniors), then return ALL 85 players for the 2022 season (and no Recruiting Class of '22) (32%, 63 Votes)
- That CU will have 94 scholarship players on the roster after February Signing Day, and only gets to keep 88. That means that six players must go (BEFORE we can talk about any more transfers coming in) (16%, 31 Votes)

Former CU wide receiver K.D. Nixon announces that he is transferring to USC for his second senior season. Thoughts?
- I hope that he is going to Los Angeles to continue his education in communications and theater ... because he is not going to get many touches as a Trojan (41%, 141 Votes)
- Nixon gave his blood, sweat and tears to the program for four years, and finished in the top 25 in yards and catches. I wish him well (except against CU), and hope this gets him to the NFL (37%, 128 Votes)
- Nixon received a full ride scholarship for four years in Boulder, and he repays the Buffs by defecting to a division rival. Not going to wish him ill, but I'm not going to wish him well (22%, 73 Votes)

The Pac-12 and Commissioner Larry Scott agree to part ways a year early (June 30, 2021). Thoughts?
- It's about time. Scott has turned a Power Five conference into an afterthought. He can't be done soon enough. The long road back needs to start as soon as possible (54%, 171 Votes)
- I just hope that the powers that be that select the new commissioner will not pick Rick George. The CU AD would do a great job for the Pac-12, but I'd sure be sad to lose him (37%, 118 Votes)
- What's the old saying? Be careful what you ask for, as you will surely get it. Let's see who the next commissioner will be before doing too much celebrating (9%, 28 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??? 🙂
