What happened

LSU won 63-14 over McNeese and moved to 4-1, which ought to have been a pleasant Saturday. Instead the fanbase treated it like a waiting room. The turning point came when the game stopped being competitive and the game thread became the main event — one fan noted that "the guy at the wedding in the game thread was more entertaining than this." Another aimed his comfort at next season: "we play our cupcake week one next year like everyone else for the first time in ages." Misery rose anyway, from 41 to 55. A 49-point win that somehow felt like homework.
