Misery Index · Miserable · = from 79
Auburn fans blamed the refs for a 30-point loss, and the win over No. 1 now looks like a clerical error.
The emotional rollercoaster
Auburn fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Auburn went to Ole Miss and left with a 15-45 loss, sliding to 4-4. The turning point, as the fanbase tells it, was a fair-catch call that turned the thread into a referee tribunal: "THESE REFS ARE FUCKING GAMBLING." Most conceded the officiating only padded a result already coming, one fan settling on "GG Ole Miss. Kicked our ass." The top post captured the whiplash: "beats #1 on the road, loses the next 2 games by 20+ points, refuses to elaborate." Somewhere, Georgia feels very silly.
