Misery Index · Despair · ▲ from 14
Six wins in, Cincinnati stripped the paint off: the QB room is barren and nobody up top will shut up.
The emotional rollercoaster
Texas Tech fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Six games into a season that had felt bulletproof, Texas Tech went to Cincinnati and came home 24-37, dropping to 6-1 and watching an undefeated October evaporate in a single afternoon. The turning point was less a play than a realization: the offense had no answer, and the quarterback room wasn't going to supply one. As one fan put it, "no one in that QB room is going to make this offense look competent." Another just wanted the talking to stop: "He is utterly unable to shut the fuck up." Misery leapt from 14 to 97. One loss, all the joy.
