Misery Index · Content
A 51-0 opener had Sooners fans praising Beers, pitying UTEP's special teams, and bracing to be hurt again.
The emotional rollercoaster
Oklahoma fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Oklahoma opened with a 51-0 win over UTEP, and the fanbase responded by bracing for impact. The turning point wasn't a play so much as a realization: UTEP's special teams, which one fan called "the worst special teams I've ever seen in my life," made the whole thing feel less like evidence and more like a controlled demolition. Beers drew praise. Nobody drew conclusions. At 1-0, the prevailing mood was summed up in six words: "I'm ready to be hurt again." Optimism here arrives pre-bruised.
