Misery Index · Despair · ▼ from 90
They won again, sat at 5-1, and spent the night bracing for Ohio State to take their lunch money.
The emotional rollercoaster
USC fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
USC won. That's the part the box score keeps, a 25-21 escape from Washington that moved the Trojans to 5-1 and lowered the misery needle from 85 to 79, which in this fanbase passes for joy. The turning point was the final whistle, when the celebration started and half the fanbase recoiled: "It's fucking disgusting watching these idiots celebrate beating Washington." The rest were already looking past it, muttering that "Ohio State is going to steal our lunch money." Winning here is just a shorter wait.
