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 BOARDS7 board mentions — too thin to call a stance. Board mood this week: positive overall.›
Only 7 of 73 board posts mention it — below our floor to call a community stance. Shown as texture, not a verdict.
Board health this week (37 posts): 41% positive · 45% neutral · 14% negative. Team-level weekly mood — not specific to this event. The boards ≠ the fanbase: a self-selected vocal slice.
💰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.
