W 20-14 vs Michigan · Sat, Oct 3 · 4-1 overall
Misery Index · Euphoric · = from 29
Beating Michigan barely read as joy here; the room pocketed the 20-14 win and braced for the other shoe.
What happened
Minnesota beat Michigan 20-14 and moved to 4-1, and the fanbase reacted like a group that has been burned before. The turning point was simple: the Gophers held when a 20-14 lead demanded it, and the Big House crowd got quiet. Celebration came out sideways. One fan compared restraint to being asked "not to shit my own pants on shit your pants day at school," then added "Get rekt kids." Another skipped straight to dread: "Ok. I know how this ends." Misery barely moved, 40 to 37. Joy here comes with a receipt.
