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.

Reactions from that night · Nov 15
Texas Tech

Tech would be unbeaten if the Ref hadn't missed the offside call on ASU in the next series. The ASU player was obviously lined up offside on that play.
