#2 Oregon

The emotional rollercoaster

Oregon fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.

What happened

Oregon won, 34-27 over Boise State, and moved to 1-0. The misery index read 69, which is a strange number for an undefeated team, but the spread was 28 and the final margin was seven, and the fanbase spent the aftermath litigating its own expectations. The turning point was the moment covering became impossible and the comment sections pivoted to self-examination: posters "treat Boise like Sister Catherine's School for the Blind," one noted, while scheduling non-scholarship FCS openers. A win that somehow required an apology.

What fans said

• “Posters here treat Boise like Sister Catherine's School for the Blind, but have no problem scheduling non-scholarship FCS programs to open the season.”

• “Boise State is like our 2nd cousin on our stepdads side that shows up to the family reunion once every few years for a fight, and win or lose, still fucks your shit up mentally.”

• “Wait, seriously? No one other than our most unhinged fans would think we could cover a 28 point spread against y’all, lmao”

• “Man I really do hate watching games with other people there’s nothing worse than already being butthurt and then having to hear someone who barely understands football in the first place ask you, “What’s going on I thought they were good?” lol”

• “I don't know about you guys, but when I watch football, I am definitely looking for ads that keep politics at the forefront of my mind.”

• “for a team with an nfl QB, an nfl TE, and 2-3 nfl WRs, we seem terrified of deep shots”
