Misery Index · Uneasy
A 13-10 win over Iowa counts, yet the room spent it disowning someone and waiting for the sadness.
The emotional rollercoaster
Minnesota fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Minnesota beat Iowa 13-10 and moved to 5-2, which on paper is a fine Saturday and in practice felt like dental work. The turning point was the week's only game being against Iowa at all, a matchup that reliably converts points into suffering for everyone watching. Someone in the fanbase said something unforgivable enough that the reply was "Wtf is that. We disown that person." Another offered "Oh yes, the tears of unfathomable sadness." They won. Nobody looked happy about it.
