Misery Index · Euphoric · ▼ from 26
A 56-23 romp has Bama fans already filing Keelon Russell under Mac-Tua-Bryce and savoring the sub's hate.
The emotional rollercoaster
Alabama fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Alabama went to Starkville and left with a 56-23 win, which moved the record to 5-0 and dropped the misery index from 36 to 17, the lowest reading the fanbase has posted all year. The turning point wasn't a play so much as a realization: Keelon Russell looked like the answer, and one fan said he's "giving me that Mac/Tua/Bryce kinda feeling," a sentence that carries three national titles in it. Elsewhere, "the hate for Bama in this sub always amuses me." Contentment is a strange costume on this crowd.
