Misery Index · Euphoric · ▼ from 29
Six-0 and still booing the refs and the passing game, because 17 points is no way to enjoy perfection.
The emotional rollercoaster
UCLA fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
UCLA beat Wisconsin 17-7 on Saturday and moved to 6-0, which, judging by the message boards, was somehow a grievance. The turning point was the officiating, or at least that's how the room told it: a crew that drew "Ok this ref crew is truly trash" from a fanbase watching its team win. One voice managed sympathy for the opponent and contempt for the home offense, noting Bruins "can't complete a pass to save your lives." Six wins, zero losses, and a misery index that refuses to bottom out.
