Travis Hunter Wins Paul Hornung Award as Nation's Most Versatile Player. Thoughts?
- Very cool, and well-deserved. Anyone who watched the Buffs play this year (and the numbers say millions did), they know that Travis Hunter is something special. Congratulations, Travis! (60%, 158 Votes)
- Had to chuckle that Hunter was named the most versatile player in the entire nation, but was only second team All-Purpose in the Pac-12. Can't wait to be officially done with that conference (28%, 75 Votes)
- Nice to get some good news out of the Champions Center this week. Hopefully, the added attention will help some with recruiting over the next few weeks and months (12%, 31 Votes)

CU Hall-of-Famer Darian Hagen leaving to become the running backs coach at San Diego State. Thoughts?
- I like it. Hagen had been demoted to role of "ambassador", and he wants to coach. Sounds like a good fit for him, and I hope he does well with the Aztecs and Coach Lewis in San Diego (52%, 162 Votes)
- I would just like to put in a request for some good news for a change ... Nice that Coach Prime is doing national interviews, but I'd like to hear about roster additions (instead of subtractions) (32%, 99 Votes)
- This is not a good look. A CU Hall-of-Famer leaving Boulder to coach for Sean Lewis, who had a falling out with Coach Prime. Doesn't change the coaching staff per se, but the optics are not good (16%, 51 Votes)

What do you make of the first wave of Transfer Portal entries from the CU roster?
- Not too concerned with the "players leaving" list. I'm more interested in the "players coming in" list ... which is blank so far. Wake me when things start turning in a positive direction (71%, 205 Votes)
- Not as bad as I thought. CU has lost a few starters, but also a number of players who were not contributors. Okay with the list so far - it's a necessary evil (16%, 47 Votes)
- CU lost two starting offensive lineman and its best tight end in a decade. Didn't the staff (painfully) learn last season that losing starters, even as quality backups, is a bad idea? (13%, 35 Votes)

To date, CU has lost two assistant coaches, offensive coordinator Sean Lewis and defensive ends coach Nick Williams. Thoughts?
- I'm going to withhold comment until I hear who CU will bring in as replacements. One benefit of having assistants leave for better jobs is having a stack of applicants who want to replace them (63%, 189 Votes)
- It's tough, but it's also part of the business. If you have coaches leaving for better opportunities and promotions, you thank them for their service and move on (21%, 64 Votes)
- More bad news in a run of two months of little besides bad news. Lewis was very respected, and Williams was one of CU's top recruiters. Tough losses to overcome (16%, 48 Votes)

Washington completes the Pac-12's first perfect season with a 34-31 win over Oregon. Thoughts?
- I like it. Nice for the Pac-12 to go out with a great title game between two Top Ten teams, giving the conference a participant in the College Football Playoff. Well done, Dawgs! (51%, 110 Votes)
- I'm just glad that we've now gotten through another year without Uncle Phil and Nike U getting their first national championship. Money can't buy happiness, Ducks! (38%, 82 Votes)
- Actually, I've moved on to caring more about the Big 12. Had their been a 12-team playoff this year, no member of the '24 Big 12 would have earned an invite. Coach Prime: The door is wide open! (11%, 25 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??? 🙂
