Misery Index · Despair
A 41-point gutting in Baton Rouge left Clemson fans less angry than embalmed, already drafting Dabo's eulogy.
The emotional rollercoaster
Clemson fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Clemson opened the season in Baton Rouge and left it there, losing 51-10 to LSU to start 0-1. The turning point wasn't a play so much as a realization, somewhere in the second half, that nobody on the sideline had an answer coming. Fans didn't rage. They went quiet. "I dont even know what to say man. that was just sad," one wrote, before adding what the rest were thinking: "I think the Dabo era is over." Twelve games left to argue otherwise.
