Misery Index · Despair · ▼ from 97
Beating Ole Miss only reopened the Florida and Oklahoma wounds, and then Simmons and Goosby went down.
The emotional rollercoaster
Texas fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Texas beat Ole Miss 34-27 and the fanbase still came away furious. The win moved them to 5-2, which is the problem: the energy that showed up against a ranked opponent was nowhere to be found earlier, and nobody's forgetting it. "Where the fuck was this energy with Florida and Oklahoma. Two shitty ass teams. I swear." The turning point was the injury news, Simmons then Goosby, which turned celebration into a grimace. Misery dropped from 97 to 84. Winning helped. Barely.
