Misery Index · Despair · ▲ from 57
Indiana missed field goals and Minnesota lost anyway, leaving Gophers fans envying the Hoosier rebuild.
The emotional rollercoaster
Minnesota fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Minnesota took a 16-23 loss at Indiana on Halloween, falling to 5-3 as the misery index leapt from 57 to 97. Fans pinned the turning point on a secondary that kept "giving up 30 yard passes," noting Indiana's kicking was the only reason the game stayed close. Others called the game management "mind-blowingly bad." One fan congratulated Indiana: "Your rebuild is something I can only dream about." Another figured a time traveler from five years ago would notice nothing different, which was exactly the complaint.
What fans said
“Indiana wins by 20 if they can kick field goals, Gophers win by 3 if we can stop giving up 30 yard passes every fucking play”
