Misery Index · Euphoric
A win in Athens has Auburn crying happy tears and calling it payment for finally cutting Freeze loose.
The emotional rollercoaster
Auburn fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Auburn went to Athens and left with a 27-24 win, which is not a sentence this fanbase has been allowed to type in a while. The turning point wasn't a snap so much as a season: the decision to move on from Freeze, which one fan framed as an overdue invoice, "it's been a miserable 5-6 years, give us something for kicking Freeze to the curb." The bill got paid. At 4-2, someone admitted he was "in fucking tears here." Pride is a strange, unfamiliar weight.
