Misery Index · Meh
A 35-point road win, and the room still counts turnovers and gripes that nobody noticed it happened.
The emotional rollercoaster
Ole Miss fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Ole Miss went to Nashville and won 52-17, which should have been a party, and instead became an exercise in self-diagnosis. The turning point came early, when the turnovers started stacking and one fan muttered that the team was "getting our season's allotment of TO's in this game" — the giveaways kept coming and the scoreboard stopped caring. At 4-1, the prevailing mood was invisibility: "when Ole Miss isn't doing absurdly well or dog shit terrible we usually don't even get mentioned." Thirty-five points, zero oxygen.
What fans said
