Misery Index · Despair · ▲ from 48

Three points short of Texas and miles short of patience, with Faizon iced up and the room iced over.

What happened

Tennessee entered the week at 3-1-adjacent optimism and left it with the 3-1 and none of the optimism, dropping a 20-17 decision to Texas at home. The turning point wasn't a single snap so much as the slow realization, somewhere in the second half, that Faizon was taking a beating and no one was arriving to help; by Sunday the consensus was that he'd be "iced up all week." One fan called it "legitimately one of the worst games I've ever watched." Misery jumped from 53 to 84. Three points, somehow, felt like forty.
