Misery Index · Despair · ▲ from 76
A three-point loss in Eugene left the room blaming the broadcast booth, because hope was already gone.
The emotional rollercoaster
Nebraska fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Nebraska went to Eugene with a chance to change the conversation and left with a 17-14 loss, the kind of three-point defeat that feels less like bad luck than inheritance. Season sits at 5-2, which on paper is fine and in practice is unbearable. Misery jumped from 76 to 97, and the fanbase skipped grief entirely for scorched earth: "I've never been wrong when predicting this team to lose. They are forever ass." Others redirected at the broadcast booth, demanding "Brando and Gardner" be fired. Hope, again, was the turning point.
What fans said
“I'm ready for our home sellout streak to finally end. Wake this school up and find some better coaches.”
