The usage of in case
Hi
"He is a really good drummer, in case you didn't see the Super Bowl".
I have a question about the sentence stated above.
What exactly "in case" means in a situation like this: I don't think that he was good at drums. And sarcastically I say ""He is a really good drummer, in case you didn't see the Super Bowl". (he: a celeb who played drums at Super Bowl). And if I actually thought that he was really good and I said this sentence in not a sarcastic way, would the meaning change?
Could you please help me with that? Thanks in advance.
