Team Mood Card — Offseason Mode

Thomas More College fan conversation is quiet right now.

The Mood Card lights up during the season, when live fan, national, and rival chatter clears the publish gate. In the offseason we hold the frame open rather than print fake precision. Live signal returns once weekly conversation volume rebuilds.

Re-opens with the 2026 season. Follow Power, Resume, and Program History year-round.
