Misery Index · Content · ▲ from 17
Seven-and-oh, and still bracing for the other shoe to drop, because UCLA fans know how this usually goes.
The emotional rollercoaster
UCLA fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
UCLA beat Michigan State 28-10 and moved to 7-0, which somehow registered as a worse week than the one before it. The misery number nearly tripled on a win, because the Bruins' fanbase has read this book and skipped to the last chapter. The turn came not on the field but in the stands and the threads, where someone watched the lead swell and typed, "End this game now before we lose both our teams." Another is "still waiting for the other shoe to drop." Seven wins, zero trust.
What fans said
“I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop, something to happen and for us lose a bunch of games”
