Misery Index · Miserable · ▼ from 84
Beating Mercer by 33 played like a rest stop rather than a turn, and nobody in the room bothered to cheer.
What happened
Georgia Tech beat Mercer 44-11, which is roughly what beating Mercer is supposed to look like, and the mood barely moved. The turning point came early, when the margin got comfortable enough that nobody had to watch the scoreboard anymore and everyone went back to thinking about the two losses sitting in front of a 1-2 record. One fan offered "pretty sure we scored 999 points." Another admitted he "never felt worse about a 33-point win." Misery dropped from 80 to 66, which counts as progress, technically.
