Misery Index · Uneasy · ▲ from 28
A 17-point win over Kansas, and the room still sounds like it's bracing for the next five years.
The emotional rollercoaster
Missouri fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Missouri went to Lawrence and left with a 38-21 win, 2-0 on the season, and somehow a worse mood than the week before. The turning point wasn't a play; it was the decision to keep throwing with two minutes left, which split the fanbase into people apologizing and people insisting that "if you think it's classless or in poor taste to run the score up with 2 minutes left in the game against your rival then you don't have a rival." Kansas fans promised "a long 5 years." That part nobody disputed.
