Misery Index · Despair · ▲ from 82
Lebby made history the wrong way against Oklahoma, and without a healthy Taylor the fans see only wreckage.
The emotional rollercoaster
Mississippi State fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Mississippi State lost 15-23 to Oklahoma, and the math of it stung more than the margin. Fifteen points at home, a 4-3 record that felt sturdier a week ago, and a fanbase doing the historical research nobody asks for in good times: "Jeff Lebby is the first Mississippi State coach to ever lose to Oklahoma. Fire his ass." The turning point was less a play than a realization, voiced flatly in a thread at midnight: "This team is hopeless without a healthy Taylor." Misery climbed from 82 to 87. October keeps going.

“I hate Lebby so much. Brain dead decisions in every game he coaches and plays a walk on freshman who’s not very good over multiple highly touted and experienced transfers because his daddy gave a lot of money to the school.”
