Misery Index · Miserable · ▼ from 98
A win over Virginia Tech, and the room still spent the night asking whether anyone likes Cal football.
The emotional rollercoaster
California fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Cal won, 25-20 over Virginia Tech, and the fanbase responded like a jury reading back a verdict it didn't like. The turning point wasn't a snap; it was the realization that a victory barely moved the needle, misery sliding only from 98 to 72. A 3-3 team got a win and the top comment was "Does any of us like cal football?" Another fan had already decided Tosh "is a dipshit." When the good weeks feel like this, the bad ones hardly need to show up.
