Misery Index · Miserable
They beat Penn State by three and still spent the week counting free runners and dreading Indiana.
The emotional rollercoaster
Michigan fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Michigan beat Penn State 21-18 and the fanbase spent the night arguing with itself. The turning point wasn't a play so much as a pattern: another week of unblocked defenders arriving before the handoff did, which left one fan vowing that "if I see another free runner blowing up a play 3 yards in the backfield I'm gonna lose it." At 4-2, the standings say things are fine. The group chat says "Indiana could probably just rest Hoover's shoulder and still beat us." Winning has rarely felt so much like scouting.
