Misery Index · Euphoric · ▼ from 49
A 31-3 beatdown has the Rebels glowing, though old habits keep one eye twitching toward disaster.
The emotional rollercoaster
Ole Miss fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Ole Miss beat Missouri 31-3 and moved to 5-1, and the misery index fell from 49 to 22, which in Oxford counts as peace. The turning point was the defense refusing Missouri anything but a field goal, turning a nervy afternoon into a formality. Fans still found room to needle, joking that "Ole Miss should win by 56 points against Ole Miss. Sounds accurate some weekends," and one holdout asked "What the actual fuck are we doing" into a four-touchdown win. Contentment makes this fanbase itchy.
