Welcome back to the Fan Misery Ladder, where we really didn’t appreciate Maryland in their own time.
It just means less emotion.
The SEC has gone catatonic. The haves established their residences in the First Tier weeks ago; the have-nots are more numerous than usual and have been fighting over the one scratchy blanket in the Ninth Tier. The rest have been trading blows with net entropy as each week lumbered by - until now.
The fans of the SEC have taken their lumps for as long as they can and now they have curled up into a ball on the floor, all comprehension or awareness gone from their eyes.
