Report: UC Regents to require UCLA give Cal $50-$60 million for leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten. Thoughts?
  • More reason to believe that UCLA will soon become an afterthought in the Big Ten. Chip Kelly is gone, the program has no positive momentum, and now some big checks to write. Bruins are going to spiral (44%, 62 Votes)
  • Doesn't make much sense now, considering how things turned out. Cal and Stanford bailed to the ACC, leaving WSU and OSU behind. No penalties for the Bears? (31%, 44 Votes)
  • I like it. I just wish that there was a way for USC to also have to pay a penalty (not to mention Washington and Oregon giving up some of its Big Ten money to WSU and OSU) (25%, 34 Votes)

CBS Sports Big 12 Post-Spring Power Rankings has CU in at No. 11. Thoughts?
  • Buckle up, Buff fans. It's going to be a long few months, with preseason magazine after preseason magazine predicting a bottom half finish for the Buffs (43%, 88 Votes)
  • Way too low. I know that the national media narrative is that CU has just replaced one set of mediocre transfers with another, but that's not objectively true. Buffs in the Top Five of the Big 12! (31%, 63 Votes)
  • Probably about right, if we're being honest. The Buffs are coming off of a 4-8 season, and has a great deal to prove before they can expect better rankings (26%, 52 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from linebacker Johnny Chaney from Florida A&M. Thoughts?
  • I like seeing how Coach Prime and the coaching staff have been targeting needs. First the offensive line, then the defensive line, now the linebackers. Lineup keeps getting better and better every day (51%, 98 Votes)
  • An FCS linebacker with no FBS offers out of high school or as a transfer. Chaney helps fill a position of need, but Mr. Chaney sounds like a backup at best (34%, 66 Votes)
  • This is what we've looking for ... CU's weakest unit coming out of the spring was the inside linebacker room, and CU has picked up two good backers since then. Well done, coaches! (15%, 30 Votes)

Which of the following early betting lines for CU games to you is the most surprising?
  • CU at Nebraska ... CU a 6.5-point underdog. Yes, the game is in Lincoln, but would you rather have a top NFL draft pick as your QB, or a freshman making his second start? Make it four in a row, Buffs! (60%, 120 Votes)
  • CU at Colorado State ... CU an 8.0-point favorite. What is more telling? That CU is more than a TD favorite on the road, or that Vegas thinks more of ND State than it does of CSU? (26%, 52 Votes)
  • North Dakota State at Colorado ... CU a 7.0-point favorite. The Bison are a good FCS team, but the Buffs will be ready. I foresee a big Buff win on August 29th to open the season (14%, 27 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from Furman defensive back Ivan Yates. Thoughts?
  • Another "In Prime We Trust" commitment. Coach Prime knows what it takes to be a high-level cornerback, and likes what he sees in Mr. Yates. Shrug of shoulders, and hope for the best (64%, 126 Votes)
  • Ummm ... Yates had no Power Five ratings out of high school, and isn't even rated as a Transfer now. Does this mean we are done with any hope of a quality transfer coming to Boulder? (20%, 40 Votes)
  • A speedy Paladin with four years experience - but still with two years of eligibility remaining. Sounds like a good pickup to me. Welcome to The Herd, Mr. Yates! (16%, 31 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??? 🙂
