🧐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 BOARDS16% of recent board volume — the fanbase is locked in.

This event was in 19 of 118 board posts (16%) over the last 60 days — a fanbase consumed by it. Fan text shown verbatim, attributed to the community not the individual poster.

"The cumulative link to the preseason rankings can be found [here]( As the person writing these up, it’s somehow weirdly appropriate that, on Fathe"

The boards ≠ the fanbase: a vocal, self-selected slice. Per-event for/against lands when event-level sentiment coverage is wired.

💰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.
