Misery Index · Content · = from 43
A 38-0 shutout barely registers in a room that got a taste of winning and now grades everything on a curve.
What happened
Indiana shut out Western Kentucky 38-0 and moved to 3-0, which in most places would qualify as a pleasant Saturday. The turning point came somewhere in the second half, when the scoreboard stopped mattering and the fanbase started grading style points instead. One fan laid it out plainly: "I should be happy with a 38 point win. But we won last year and I'm like a crack addict now, so mad it is." Another offered "yeah that fucking sucked/sucks." Winning has ruined them, and the misery needle barely moved.
