The Sporting News rates Coach Prime as the No. 12 head coach in the Big 12 (No. 59 in the nation). Thoughts?
  • Just the latest in the "Coach Prime's methods aren't working" articles. Patience, Buff fans, August 29th will be here soon enough, and Coach Prime will take it from there (65%, 126 Votes)
  • Sounds about right, actually. CU did better in 2023, but still finished 1-8 in Pac-12 play, just like the 2022 team. Losing by less is still losing, folks (28%, 54 Votes)
  • A joke, right? Did TSN forget that Coach Prime won two conference titles at Jackson State, and cobbled together a 4-8 season out of a team which had been the worst in the nation in 2022? (7%, 15 Votes)

Which news story of the latest cycle to you was the most positive?
  • That the ND State game was set for 6:00 MT on ESPN. Glad it's not 8:30 on a weeknight ... and happy that CU will open the season on national TV (North Carolina/Minnesota only other Power Four game) (47%, 68 Votes)
  • That 'Coach Prime' has been renewed for a third season by Amazon. Good publicity, plus extra dollars for players for their appearances (read: Free extra NIL money to keep and lure players) (32%, 46 Votes)
  • That the single game tickets went on sale Tuesday (next Tuesday for general public). Happy that most games (even though the slate is not as exciting as last year) are almost already sold out (21%, 31 Votes)

Kickoff for CU at Nebraska set for 5:30 p.m., MT, on September 7th (NBC). Thoughts?
  • What's not to like? A nationally televised game in "Prime Time" (pun intended). A perfect setting to make it four in a row over the Cornhuskers (77%, 140 Votes)
  • I don't care about the kickoff time (though I have to say, I'm glad it's not in the morning or late at night). I'm just excited to get this game on and take down the Corn! (22%, 40 Votes)
  • A little strange that it's on NBC, but I guess the Peacock has been expanding out of its Notre Dame centric coverage ... and with the Olympics on NBC, I'm calling it now: Saturation ads this summer (1%, 2 Votes)

CU again leads the nation with 41 transfers leaving ... with three schools right behind with 39. Thoughts?
  • I'm interested to see that seven Big 12 teams had at least 25 transfers leave. Perhaps CU's fluid roster isn't quite as much of a problem as we have been led to believe (50%, 87 Votes)
  • Just goes to show that the national media will always choose to focus on the negative when it comes to CU. Anyone writing negative stories about Alabama, Michigan State, or Indiana? Thought not (30%, 53 Votes)
  • The other schools which are close to CU in lost players all had head coaching turnovers. Coach Prime needs to spend more time on retention and development, and less on turnover (20%, 35 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from three-star defensive back Savion Riley from Vanderbilt/Miami. Thoughts?
  • I like this. It's slim pickings in the Transfer Portal now, so getting a Power Four defensive back - a position of need - is a nice present for mid-May (39%, 73 Votes)
  • Looks like CU is up to 79 scholarships, so the team is pretty much in place for the season. Guess it's time to start doing deep dives on the depth chart, and see where Mr. Riley will fit in (34%, 63 Votes)
  • Perhaps a good depth piece, but Riley wasn't highly sought after out of high school, and was a rotational player for Vanderbilt. Perhaps a development piece, which CU does need (27%, 52 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??? 🙂
