The State Of Our Open Threads (Game Four, Year One, Era Of Harbaugh): After BYU

I am going to first say something - this is probably the easiet version of "The State Of Our Open Threads" to write since I began compiling these statistics because there really is not a great deal to report that is significant, but this is to be expected when you beat a ranked team rather handily four games into a new era, if you will. All the same, we will go through it.

The summary table to date - I have not yet backtracked with the "positive" words, so they are still differentiated in yellow here:

Here's the bar graph of the same information, less those added words from last week:

For this game specifically, "fuck" and "great" won the day on the MGoBoard, and indeed they were often found in the same post, a huge indicator of positive vibes - generous positive vibes - coming out of this game. Indeed, of the 125 "fucks" we gave, the only negative ones were directed at officials and the offense in the second half, which went into Uber-Predictable mode whereas many wanted to see wholesale Cougar slaughter, I think (wasn't going to happen, as it isn't Harbaugh's style). 

There was a spike in the mentions for Peppers, but then Peppers was having himself a rather nice game indeed - there were 81 instances, almost double the 43 from last week. Notably, we also had a nearly Morris-free game on the tracker - one person, rather late, talked about Morris and redshirting. We also only had two instances of "fire" - both directed at ...no one, just added descriptors for the success that was yesterday. 

Here is the graph of swearing efficiency versus the distribution of instances:

So, you can see that, for the most part, our mood has been very stable - yesterday's overall efficiency across all words was 3.18, and adjusted for the Original Six - the words which form the genesis of this tracker - the efficiency was 8.36, or 236 words across a thread of 1,960 combined (allowing for both half threads, even if the second hald thread was not exactly welcomed at 17 downvotes). 

Here's the mood chart:

The center - I believe - is serenity. I don't think we've ever been that close in three years. It is very nice to see.
