🧐THE SKEPTICSNo prominent dissent — the coverage runs one way.›

The analytical counter: rankings, results and 'the hype is ahead of the tape' takes.

Nothing in our corpus yet — this door stays open for when there is.

😈THE RIVALSThe rest of the league is watching — rival reaction lands here.›

Schadenfreude is half the fun. Cross-fanbase capture (rival boards / opposing beats) isn't wired into the corpus yet — this door fills when it is.

Nothing in our corpus yet — this door stays open for when there is.

💬THE BOARDSQuiet on the boards so far.›

The boards haven't picked this up in a measurable way yet.

"I don't really blame them for being upset, he's transferring to a hated, in-conference rival. Obviously things like wishing injury on a player and the like are scummy, but anything"

r/CFB fan

"UGA fans typically know people who go to these other campuses. We all acknowledge the Athens PD is the worst. As far as racism on campus, it's the south it's pretty much everywhere"

r/CFB fan

💰THE MARKETNo live market on the box yet — nothing to price the reaction against.›

We don't carry a live win-total / playoff / Heisman market on the box yet. When it's wired, the pre→post line move sits here.
