Misery Index · Despair · ▼ from 87
Scoring 36 at Alabama somehow felt worse, a free loss that Norvell and Tony White managed to ruin.
The emotional rollercoaster
Florida State fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Florida State went to Tuscaloosa and lost 36-50, which is the sort of scoreline that should feel respectable and somehow doesn't. The turning point was the realization, somewhere in the middle of it, that scoring 36 points on Alabama would not be nearly enough, because the defense had no intention of participating. One fan concluded Tony White is "shit from an ass." Another, with 2,314 upvotes behind him, noted that Mike Norvell "has the special ability to make me feel awful about a game I had no expectations to win beforehand." At 1-2, that skill is in full bloom.
