CU defensive coordinator Charles Kelly leaving Colorado for a co-defensive coordinator position at Auburn. Thoughts?
  • No one can form a real opinion about this news until CU names its next defensive coordinator - then we can discuss whether this is a net positive or a net negative (70%, 235 Votes)
  • Not going to lose any sleep. While there were improvements over the 2022 disaster, CU was still 121st in scoring defense and 127th in total defense. This is addition by subtraction, folks (19%, 63 Votes)
  • Not a good day. Kelly was an excellent recruiter, and there is something to be said for continuity on the coaching staff having an impact on the field. (Hopefully his recruits won't leave too) (11%, 37 Votes)

Which quote from five-star offensive lineman Jordan Seaton do you find the most interesting?
  • That what made the difference in his recruitment was how much Coach Prime cared about him as an individual, while other schools saw him as another five-star recruit (49%, 90 Votes)
  • That negative recruiting against Coach Prime is alive and well, with one coach asking him: "What? Do you want to be a rapper or something?" (47%, 86 Votes)
  • That in the end, it came down to Colorado v. Florida State and Tennessee, and that Maryland wasn't as much of a factor as we had been led to believe (4%, 7 Votes)

CU is currently at 81 scholarships. Rate your level of concern that 50 of the Buffs are upperclassmen; only 31 are underclassmen
  • Low. How long ago was it - like a year ago? - that Buff fans were constantly complaining about having small senior Classes? You can't please some people (51%, 147 Votes)
  • Medium. Let's give this another year. If Coach Prime is unable to bring in a quality freshman Class next year, it will start to be a problem. For now, top-loading is necessary to build the program (45%, 131 Votes)
  • High. There are 27 seniors, and more than a few juniors who will be going pro. You can't build a program changing over a third of your roster every year (4%, 12 Votes)

Rate your interest in the non-New Year's Six bowl games involving Pac-12/Big 12 teams.
  • Medium. Some of the games hold interest certainly, and my interest in CU's 2024 opponents is peaked, but, then again, I just love college football (48%, 109 Votes)
  • Low. When CU's season ended, so did mine, at least for the most part. I will check out a game or two, but I have other sport-watching priorities over the holidays than watching useless bowls (41%, 93 Votes)
  • High. It's time to check out the competition for next year in the Big 12, and hard to not check out how old Pac-12 rivals are doing. Being a CU fan is 24/7/365 job, and I'm on it (11%, 25 Votes)

Rate your level of interest in the legal battle pitting Florida State against the ACC
  • Low. The grant of rights contract goes until 2036, and hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. This isn't going to be resolved for years. I'm more interested in CU's roster makeover - for now (66%, 175 Votes)
  • Medium. When the ACC dissolves, there will be some teams going to the SEC, some to the Big Ten ... and the rest to the Big 12. I'll be interested to see which teams will land in CU's new conference (24%, 65 Votes)
  • High. If FSU gets out from underneath the grant of rights contract, realignment will again spin out of control, and CU needs to be well positioned to remain relevant when that happens (10%, 26 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??? 🙂
