# HBCU football confidence survey: Here’s how fans feel about their team

Every HBCU fanbase only sees sunshine and rainbows for the 2025 football season, [according to our fan survey](https://hbcusports.com/2025/08/15/hbcu-football-2025-temperature-check-how-confident-are-you-about-your-team/). Your team is going unbeaten. There will be no roller coaster ride. Nope, college football will treat every fan with justice, even though coaching changes and the transfer portal make things interesting. Take [Southern](https://hbcusports.com/?s=terrence+graves) fans, for example. Surprisingly, 100 percent of Jaguars supporters who responded indicated they were confident 2025 would be a winning season under second-year head coach Terrence Graves. “We have a lot of good, talented, experienced/young pieces,” wrote Southern fan Derrin Gaines.

Fans at [Alabama A&M](https://hbcusports.com/?s=Alabama+A%26M), [Virginia State](https://hbcusports.com/?s=Virginia+State+), and even [Bethune-Cookman](https://hbcusports.com/?s=Bethune+Cookman) are also 100 percent hopeful that the upcoming season has a lot of promise ahead. And then some fans expressed unwavering belief. Thomas Lucas, hopeful Grambling fan: “I believe in Coach Mickey Joseph.” Darryel Craig, confident Alabama State fan: “ANDREW BODY IS BACK AND HEALTHY!”
