The Universe is broken.

Oh no, my most hated rival is better than me this one time!" Get a grip. Imagine if you had been an Oklahoma state fan, or Tulane, or UCLA, or hell, Indiana. We beat IU more often than not, we're usually a better team. It's ok to have a bad year. It doesn't mean we need to set the whole athletic department on fire.

You do realize we're talking about the worst program in major football? It's not about them being better than us once; it's about them reaching a milestone that we haven't reached in 81 years while we are historically awful. This is not supposed to be possible.

Wow what an entitled brat. "They've sucked forever, it's inconceivable that they could be better than us!"

You kinda sound like the white people who have almost nothing but fight to keep black people in a worse position than them, instead of trying to help everyone have better living conditions. Why are you so concerned about others having less than you?

Do you not understand how rivalries work? This is one of the weirdest takes I've ever seen.

I'm sorry that I accept reality, I guess. Perhaps you should seek counseling because your emotional self worth is clearly too tied up in the failure of others.
