Misery Index · Miserable · ▲ from 34
A 28-point whipping by Miami has Clemson fans RSVPing early to Matt Luke's second retirement party.
The emotional rollercoaster
Clemson fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Clemson hosted Miami and lost 13-41, which is less a game than a public demonstration. The season sits at 3-2, and the week's turning point wasn't a play so much as the moment the line stopped pretending, after which the fanbase found its scapegoat: "Matt Luke needs to go back to retirement." Misery climbed from 45 to 65. Elsewhere, consolation arrived in the form of someone else's schedule, with one fan noting Arkansas is "a whole other tier of ass." Thin comfort, but it's what's available.
