What the Auburn game is worth

How fan mood is read

Fan mood compares what Arkansas fans wrote in r/CFB game threads with every FBS fanbase with enough talk that week. A week runs Monday to Sunday and is named for the game in it. The read is redrawn 300 times from the same commenters, re-ranking every fanbase each time. Sour or all in means the read sat in the bottom or top fifth in at least 70 of every 100 draws; on the sour side or on the bright side, in the bottom or top two fifths in at least 80; anything less settled is middle of the pack. A bright label also needs more positive talk than negative, and a sour one the reverse. Brighter or sourer than usual compares the week with the team's own earlier weeks, after taking out how every fanbase read that week. Each dot sits at the read's rank that week. A week read before these labels keeps the word it was first given, the fifth it sat in (sour, uneasy, mixed, hopeful or all in). Season averages are the mean of a season's reads, in fifths from sour to all in, and seasons before 2026 were read from each week's wider talk, so a comparison across seasons is rough. 2019 and 2020 were read later, in one pass, from saved talk.

Yeah, it was a stupid question. This guy is paying for both Coach Cal and the army of 5\*'s this year so I don't care if he gives a single cent to football. Make someone else pay for us to be mediocre there.

fans think loyalty to the coach defines real team support

If your an American patriot you don’t criticize the president and if your a real hog fan you don’t talk bad about the coach.

One fan believes key players will perform better in first scrimmage

Here's what we know about today's first scrimmage. Sounds like KJ Jackson and Chris Marshall had strong days as there were plenty of explosive plays from the offense.

player performanceOne fan's take

One fan thinks the offense is underperforming relative to its potential

While defense was doing a decent job (I know they gave away 34 points, many due to mistakes by offense and special team), offense is atrocious.
