Misery Index · Euphoric · ▲ from 4
A 23-point win somehow left them seething at Pat McAfee rather than enjoying the 2-0 start.
The emotional rollercoaster
Virginia Tech fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Virginia Tech beat Old Dominion 44-21 and moved to 2-0, which ought to have been a pleasant Saturday. Instead the week turned on the broadcast, where the talk drifted toward a certain coach and away from the team actually winning, and the fanbase spent its evening litigating television rather than enjoying football. One viewer offered that "Pat MacAfee can suck several sweaty dicks." Another summarized the mood better than any box score: "WE WON BY 23 POINTS AND I AM MAD." Two wins in, and the misery is already outsourced.
