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.

You want the one next to Wes Miller, so you can kindly inform him this is his last season coaching at Cincinnati.

4A.....would be #53 Gavin Gerhardt, so I choose 4B!!

Good player. Gundy, the coaches and the players gave him a second chance in spite of his stupid crime. So can all of us. Glad he got the honor.

positivePlayer ConductFacebook

So he’s showing off his skills when he jumps into the portal this off-season?
