Mood

Who is happier

Fan Score counts positive comments per 1,000, so a loud fanbase cannot buy its way up the board. Positive share tells the same story as a percentage of everything said.

Shape of the season

Week by week, side by side

Outstanding. Thanks for not gimmicking it up this weekend like that “school” north of Tucson so often does. Go Cats. BEAR DOWN.

I’m totally not a fan of the cactus that looks too much like an ASU pitchfork. Can’t we find something else ?

Do love it... just wish the switch was more ahead of time. Doubtful the message will get to everyone who is a Stampede fan this way.

Coach crime. Because what he puts on the field should be criminal to watch
