Misery Index · Despair · ▲ from 52
Losing by one at Kentucky to a fourth-and-one punt and a phantom flag has the room well past bargaining.
The emotional rollercoaster
LSU fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
LSU went to Lexington and left 34-35, which is the kind of number that follows a fanbase home. The turning point arrived on fourth and one, when the coaching staff chose the safer option and the crowd in the group chat did not. "Should have gone for it on 4th and 1 to win the game," one fan wrote, and nobody argued. A flag along the way drew its own review, summarized as "Holy fuck, that was a TERRIBLE flag." At 4-2, misery jumped from 52 to 89, because losing by one leaves every decision still breathing.
