CU picks up a commitment from former Jackson State defensive back, Herman Smith. Thoughts?
  • Classes have started at CU, so any new transfer is not likely to be in Boulder until June. Unless the transfer is from Washington, Arizona or Alabama - just say no (58%, 98 Votes)
  • So ... CU is now taking transfers from Idaho State (where Smith played last year after two years at Jackson State). Either the Transfer Portal is devoid of talent, or Coach Prime is losing his touch (27%, 45 Votes)
  • I like this pickup. Smith has played for Coach Prime, so he knows what to expect and what's expected of him. He'll be hungry to prove he can play at the Power Five level (15%, 25 Votes)

No. 3 CU women taking on No. 5 UCLA women tonight (6:00 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks). Thoughts?
  • A huge game for coach Payne and the Buffs. They have already knocked off two top ten teams, with their only loss to No. 4 N.C. State. They are for real, and can definitely win this game (63%, 92 Votes)
  • I'm excited that this may be the largest home crowd in CU women's history (at least regular season). A shame it's on the Pac-12 Networks, so the Buffs won't get national coverage they deserve (31%, 46 Votes)
  • I hope the Buffs are up for this challenge, but it will be a challenge. Second of three straight games against Top Ten opponents. The Buffs can't win them all ... can they? (6%, 9 Votes)

Shedeur and Shilo Sanders miss CU's first team meeting while walking the Louis Vuitton runway in Paris. Thoughts?
  • Much ado about nothing. The first team meeting was largely an introduction of staff, individuals Shedeur and Shilo have already met. Meanwhile, they were showing what CU NIL can look like. No biggie (38%, 133 Votes)
  • Sends the wrong message to the team, with many of the transfers in the Champions Center for the first time. Coach Prime shouldn't be making exceptions for his sons - not a good look (no pun intended) (34%, 117 Votes)
  • I'm just taking note that, while most of the team was feeding the homeless on MLK Day, the media wants to focus on what Shedeur and Shilo were doing ... sounds about par for the course (28%, 97 Votes)

CU Big 12 rival Arizona hires San Jose State coach Brent Brennan. Thoughts?
  • Not a very impressive hire, and I'm good with that. Some of Arizona's starters are hitting the portal, which will make life easier for my Buffs going forward (50%, 104 Votes)
  • Seems like a good hire. Brennan had some good seasons with the Spartans, and has family connections with Tucson which might keep him there for awhile (29%, 59 Votes)
  • Just wonder how many stories/jokes there will be comparing Arizona's hire of a San Jose State coach to CU's hiring of Mike MacIntyre ... not so great memories (21%, 44 Votes)

Pat Shurmur pretty much confirmed to be CU's 2024 offensive coordinator. Thoughts?
  • It is what it is. I guess there is something to be said for continuity and having Shurmur and his players have a full off-season together. Now, about that defensive coordinator position ... (56%, 166 Votes)
  • Not good news. Anyone who watched CU's play-calling in the second half of the season after Shurmur took over has to be concerned about a Shurmur led offense in 2024 (27%, 81 Votes)
  • Good news. While Bronco fans have some PTSD over Shurmur, he has been a head coach and an OC in the NFL. Shedeur (and his father) trust him - that's good enough for me (17%, 50 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??? 🙂
