Palmer Ridge athlete Kaden Dudley reopens his commitment. Initial thoughts?
- Not news, at least not yet. With recruiting on hold, and the staff unable to meet with prospects, we are just going to have to accept the new normal - few commits for the foreseeable future (64%, 176 Votes)
- Not unreasonable. Dudley committed to the last staff, and hasn't met the new one - he could still become a Buff! (30%, 82 Votes)
- One of the concerns about the new coaching staff was whether they can recruit as well as the previous staff. With Dudley's defection, CU is down to two recruits - not a good look (6%, 16 Votes)

Which factoid about the 2001 Buff team to you is the most surprising?
- That the CU team which defeated Texas in the Big 12 title game was the same team which lost to the Longhorns 41-7 in the regular season (54%, 99 Votes)
- That the Buffs were coming off of a 3-8 season, but rebounded with a 10-3 season and a top ten ranking (34%, 63 Votes)
- That after a season-opening loss, local sports columnists were calling for the ouster of head coach Gary Barnett (12%, 21 Votes)

Daylen Kountz and Jakub Dombek announcing that they are leaving CU, entering the Transfer Portal. Thoughts?
- The pair contributed only 3.8 points per game combined. If the Buffs are going to make another run at 20 games next season, the bench needs to be more productive. A case of addition by subtraction (52%, 106 Votes)
- Could be an opportunity for Tad Boyle and the Buffs, but with sports on hold, I'm not sure how CU is going to be able to fill these roster spots for the fall. Could be a short bench next year (27%, 55 Votes)
- Kountz was a star at Denver East. Never a good thing to have a local prep star decide to leave the program. Not good optics for a program reeling from a disappointing end to the season (21%, 42 Votes)

- "Part of the golden carrot of being a new coach is a clean slate ... This year, it's the best men who will be playing" (16%, 30 Votes)

What factoid about the 1990 national championship team would you consider to be the most surprising?
- That CU opened the season 1-1-1, fell to No. 20 in the AP poll, and was still able to make it all the way back to win the national championship (48%, 99 Votes)
- That CU's non-conference schedule consisted of No. 8 Tennessee; Stanford; No. 21 Illinois; No. 22 Texas; and No. 12 Washington - Damn! (33%, 68 Votes)
- That the Fifth-Down game against Missouri, involving the No. 12 team in the nation, was only broadcast by Denver television station KCNC (19%, 39 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??? 🙂
