The emotional rollercoaster
California fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Cal went to NC State on Halloween and left with a 10-31 loss, falling to 3-6 as the misery index climbed from 89 to 98. The turning point, by popular vote, was whoever came off the bench: "he should have just stayed on that fucking bench." Former believers recanted, calling the hype "a triumph of propaganda," while one fan retreated to "academics." Others are already circling "5 wins in 3 seasons," which at this pace reads less like a fear than a schedule.
