W 51-10 vs Clemson · Sat, Sep 5 · 1-0 overall
Misery Index · Euphoric
A 41-point beating of Clemson left the room loose enough to joke that late points cut it to 42.
What happened
LSU opened at 1-0 by dismantling Clemson 51-10, and the turning point came long before the fourth quarter, when a game billed as a heavyweight test quietly stopped being competitive and became a scrimmage with a national audience. By the end, the fanbase had moved past analysis and into comedy, one fan noting it was "funnier because it really did cut the lead to 42." Another called it a "great fucking night," then added, "imagine if we had pro players." Optimism this unguarded rarely survives September intact.
