Misery Index · Uneasy
A 31-point win bought Mike Norvell nothing from a fanbase already workshopping his send-off.
The emotional rollercoaster
Florida State fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Florida State beat Virginia 38-7 on Saturday and moved to 3-2, which is normally the part where a fanbase exhales. Instead the turning point arrived around the time the margin became comfortable: the realization that a win this tidy makes Mike Norvell harder to remove, not easier. One fan was already bracing for the administration to "not fire him still after this game and drag our program even further into the depths of hell." Another preferred ISIS. Winning has rarely felt so inconvenient.
