Misery Index · Despair · ▲ from 73
Giving up 49 to Boston College turned the rebuild talk into demolition talk, and nobody's holding a permit.
The emotional rollercoaster
Georgia Tech fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Boston College came to town and left with a 49-27 win, which is the sort of sentence Georgia Tech fans assumed they had aged out of reading. The turning point was less a play than a realization, somewhere in the second half, that nobody on this defense was going to stop anything. The board agreed: this team "couldn't defend a fucking opinion if you asked them to." At 2-5, patience curdled into a verdict — "pack up and go home." The misery index jumped from 73 to 97. Nothing left to misread.
