  "account": "Week 1 of the college football season concluded with Florida State Seminoles facing SMU Mustangs in a highly anticipated ACC matchup at Doak S. Campbell Stadium. However, the event took an unexpected turn when a power outage plunged the stadium into darkness, pushing the kickoff from 7:30 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. Eastern Time. Florida State had recently invested $265 million in stadium upgrades, but it appeared that these improvements were insufficient to prevent the outage. Social media users quickly took notice and mercilessly roasted the Seminoles. One user, AllMiamiG, sarcastically suggested a \"GoFundMe\" campaign to help the school illuminate their stadium. Another, DocRobandino820, proposed a new logo for Florida State, giving their iconic symbol a fresh look. The Miami Hurricanes also delivered a savage roast, tweeting that their lights are always on while teasing a Thursday showdown at Hard Rock Stadium.",
