What is fact and what is rumor at this point? Where are the Auburn fans and players in this situation? We also continue the Mood Tracker series as we take a trip out west to gauge the temperature around USC Football. How does the fan base feel about the hiring of Lincoln Riley? How quickly should they expect results? How close is the SEC East to being able to challenge UGA? Is there reason to believe the gap could close a bit with recent hires? How impressive was the close Brent Venables and the Oklahoma Sooners had on the recruiting trail this past cycle? Is this a small preview of things to come?
