I don't think there is a bottom? You can always go to a lower number? :)

That would be: "another school's boosters use their control of the shared Board of Trustees to eliminate your football program as a step toward gutting your university."

Good morning, here is your 10/14 update. Lots of movement this week with all the lopsided scores. If you were already at Level 1, I didn't put a qualifier by it to show you were already there.

Moved up: UAB, Charlotte, La Tech
Moved down: USM, UTSA, ODU, Rice, WKU

A Team's Fans go UP a level if they:

- beat their rival
- put together a 3 game win streak
- put together a 5 game win streak
- beat a ranked team
- beat a P5 team
- beat an FBS team by 21 or more
- win the division

A Team's Fans go DOWN a level if they:

- lose to their rival
- put together a 3 game losing streak
- put together a 5 game losing streak
- lose to any FCS opponent
- lose any game by 21 points or more
- fail to become bowl eligible

WKU, Rice, and UTEP:

I nominate that the fan misery index for each team be represented by a corresponding number of UTSA's fake cannons hence forth!! If your team is on the lowest level of hell, it shall receive the crying Jordan UTSA fake cannon.

Sometimes I envy fans of programs that have never been good. At this point, football season just depresses me. Listening to our HC speak depresses me. Watching Parks start at RB depresses me. Our AD giving our crappy coaches extensions depresses me.

I"m not greedy. At this point, I just want an average HC and semi good OC/DC.

Good afternoon, here is your 10/21 update. UTEP and WKU are the first teams to make it to the bottom level of misery. Congrats, at least you have company.

Edited - moved FIU up, missed their 3 game win streak.

By your standards FIU should move up due to a 3 game win streak.

Fixed! Thanks for the correction

Good week to be a Rice fan... maybe we’ve stemmed the tide. Not bottom barrel yet.
I’m not sure if upcoming UNT counts as a true rival (I see them as one but not all do)... but if we somehow prove the 28 point spread wrong next week I will try to claim it as a Rivalry Win(!)

Question - if you lose by 27, did you prove the 28 point spread wrong?

So once you are at Level and reach another landmark, do you not create a level? UAB just went on a 5 game winning streak. Should we be at a level all alone or are levels only created at the bottom? Just asking.

Level 1 is as high as you can go. You are experiencing fan euphoria and it doesn't get better than where you are. Similarly, it doesn't get any worse than level 9. No matter how bad WKU and UTEP do, they will not drop any further.

Good morning, here is your 10/28 update. Rice joins UTEP and WKU in the deepest pit of misery, while La Tech and MT get big wins to boost them up another level.

Go to Wikipedia and look at UAB's past record. Mediocrity under Watson Brown was pretty much the high point. Each additional win this season sets the record for wins in a season. I suppose we could have higher morale, say if Phil Knight announced that our contract with Underarmor or not, he's adopting the team and donating five million a year.

I do feel for you guys. I know where you've been and what your expectations are, and where you are now. That said, you've had yours and I'm not going to feel guilty about enjoying every second of this season. It's been a long time coming, and UAB fans are savoring the moment.

I feel bad for fans of programs that peaked 20 years ago and have nothing to look forward to as the Texas schools will improve and they’ll be the perineal doormats of the West.

I can assure you Marshal is not at Level 1. Program and fan apathy probably has us at around a level 4.

I'm thinking that maybe you should look up the word "perineal", but if you want to be a perineal doormat, well... more power to you.

UAB fans are euphoric at this point. I don't know what to do with myself. If we take down Southern Miss, we'll roll into College Station at 9-1 with a legit shot at beating them.

I really felt bad for the UTSA fans last night. We've been there, and I know how bad it feels.
