Sad fans are sad, Week 9: Tale of 3 Tigers
The Tiger Bowl, with Auburn visiting LSU, was the SEC’s most attention-grabbing game this week. It did not disappoint.
Unless you are an Auburn fan, of course:

The Tigers from The Plains kept the game close despite their offensive struggles:
I'm sad wondering how many Auburn fans right now believe that our offense can mount a comeback.

Yet even LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, whose team won, was not immune from the tension in the game:

As for the SEC’s other Tigers, residing in Columbia, Missouri? Ugh. With a 22-point loss to a pretty average Kentucky team, the result was as ugly as the weather.

And at the Tennessee-South Carolina game, even the folks with the cameras were not safe:

Around the country, Oklahoma took its first loss at Kansas State. Lots of folks on social media noted the similarity between this week’s result and last week’s Sooner Schooner crash:

Fans of No. 23 Iowa State went home disappointed after their team lost to unranked Oklahoma State. Only thing worse than that would be to watch that defeat and have to wash pumpkin gunk out of your hair when you got home:

And these tweets rather nicely sum up Notre Dame’s night as the Fighting Irish were blasted at Michigan:
The only thing better than a sad Notre Dame fan? A wet, cold, and sad Notre Dame fan.
