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.

Need! Last minute plan to attend and I have only dark gray Temple shirt. Need a Cherry and icy White! Flying in from San Antonio. Will anything be sold at the stadium?

Throw out that offensive game plan from last week. That ain’t gonna work. Don’t be afraid to get creative.
