Misery Index · Despair · ▲ from 14
Three touchdowns wiped off the board, a fumble at midfield, and a fanbase certain the refs did it on purpose.
The emotional rollercoaster
Tennessee fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Tennessee went to Columbia at 6-1 and left at 6-2, dropping a 27-24 decision that fans will be relitigating until spring practice. The turning point wasn't a single snap so much as a pattern: "three TDs wiped off the board," by one fan's count, each review peeling another layer off the collective nerve. One Vol noted the kinship with Georgia, both "getting upset 27-24 by dogshit teams with 0 playoff hopes after fumbling at midfield." Misery jumped from 14 to 96 in seven days. Shared suffering, apparently, doesn't divide.
What fans said
“Shew. That game sure was something. It’s an L for us but both teams were absolutely fucked all game long.”
