Misery Index · Content · ▼ from 97
A 27-point win over Arkansas bought relief, not belief, and the room is still bracing for something.
The emotional rollercoaster
Texas A&M fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
A 34-7 win over Arkansas arrived like a cold compress on a fanbase that spent last week at 91 on the misery scale. The turning point wasn't a play so much as the moment it became clear Arkansas had no interest in making this competitive, which drained the comeback of any real catharsis. One fan dismissed the whole "opportunity to win" framing as having "an opportuntiy to win against prime mike tyson in a boxing match." Another simply concluded "Arkansas is cursed." At 3-2, relief is not the same as belief.
