Misery Index · Miserable · ▲ from 26
Four-and-oh after a 35-point rout, and the room's lone request is that the pollsters drop them, cowards.
What happened
Texas Tech won 49-14 over Sam Houston and moved to 4-0, which somehow made the fanbase more miserable than it was a week ago. The turning point wasn't a snap, it was the polling conversation that followed: a blowout became evidence of nothing, and the loudest request of the week was "Drop our rank, cowards." Elsewhere, the offense finally opened up, prompting the all-caps verdict "LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LET THE BOY THROW." Four wins in, and the dominant emotion is a preemptive flinch.
What fans said
“We can just pretend that this was an easy 35 point win at home and ignore what may have been the score and overall performance as of halftime.”

“Me after beating Houston: “Nice, still things to clean up but maybe I was overreacting to the first few weeks. We’re still at the front of the pack in the Big 12 I think.” Me exactly right now: “Drop our rank, cowards.””

“As frustrating and disappointing this year is I am still thrilled with the expectations that have been set and I still despise Matt Wells.”

“The problem with our defense this year is they’re too slow. McGuire has been hyping how much bigger and stronger this years team is, but wasn’t worth the trade of them running like molasses.”
