Misery Index · Despair · ▼ from 90
Four points short in L.A., stuck with a coach who'd rather be elsewhere and a QB retained by lawsuit.
The emotional rollercoaster
Washington fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Washington went to Los Angeles and lost 21-25, which drops the Huskies to 3-2 and leaves the fanbase picking at wounds older than this season. The turning point was the trip itself: a conference realignment that sent Washington chasing USC across time zones, which one fan framed as following the Trojans out the door "to continue their misery." Others skipped the geography and went straight to the roster, describing a "HC that doesn't want to be here and a QB that had to be threatened by a lawsuit to stay." Misery ticked down to 80. Progress, technically.
What fans said
“HC that doesn’t want to be here and a QB that had to be threatened by a lawsuit to stay. What a disaster.”
