Misery Index · Despair · ▲ from 72
Oregon's room handed the haters their verdict after Stillwater, then insisted the truth is somehow worse.
The emotional rollercoaster
Oregon fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Oregon went to Stillwater and came home 1-1 after a 39-31 loss to Oklahoma State, which is the kind of sentence that gets read twice. The turning point was the defense deciding that stopping anyone was optional, and the misery index answered by jumping from 69 to 98 in seven days. The fanbase skipped denial entirely: "Haters said we were frauds. You know what, good call haters." Another offered the week's only forecast worth trusting, that "it's so much unimaginably worse than you think." Two games in, the ceiling already has a basement.
