Misery Index · Despair · = from 96
Losing to Rutgers at home, the room stopped debating Locksley's future and started counting P4 wins.
The emotional rollercoaster
Maryland fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Maryland lost 30-37 to Rutgers at home, which dropped the Terps to 2-5 and turned a sluggish October into something closer to a referendum. The turning point wasn't a snap so much as a realization in the stands: this is the same movie, and nobody is rewriting it. One fan called it the clearest case study available, saying if you want to know what it's like "to have poor coaching derail a season, this Maryland team is it." Another counted three P4 wins since the last extension and declared "It. Is. Over." Misery sits at 97, barely moving, because there's nowhere left to climb.
