I jsut read this: Couple Killed Over Argument After GameAP EVERGREEN, Ala. (Nov. 10) - Authorities say an argument over Saturday's Alabama-LSU football game led to the shooting deaths of a couple at a home in southern Alabama. Prosecutors identified the victims as Dennis and Donna Smith of Brewton. The shooting happened about 7 p.m. Saturday at the home of Michael Williams in the rural community of Owassa. Williams was arrested and charged with two counts of murder. Investigators told the Press-Register newspaper in Mobile that Dennis Smith, an LSU fan, called Williams, an Alabama fan, after Alabama's 27-21 overtime win and an argument ensued. The Smiths went to Williams home. Investigators said Smith had a pistol and Williams had a shotgun and fired. Donna Smith was a relative of Williams' girlfriend. I know this is an extreme example, but has this environment we call a game gotten out of control. Reading the headlines before I read the story I was hoping that this didn't have anything to do with the LSU/ALA game. I know we are all rabid fans and love to cheer for our respective teams. I know some taunting of our opponents fans is normally done in fun. What I don't get is how can fun taunting end up like this. Believe me living here in Florida, I give and take my share of abuse when it comes to these games. I was at the Florida game and my wife and I took our share of abuse from some of their fans. And yes there were a couple who were total asses and really would have loved to pimp slap. But who would have been the bigger looser? Me or them. LSU fans have gained a reputation of being some of the worse fans when is comes to this. I don't agree with statement at all but sometimes we may have to look in the mirror and wonder. I guess all I am trying to say is next time the insults start to fly, just be sure both sides know that it is all in fun and I hope this never happens again.
I wonder how legit that is, this is the third incident I've heard of Bama fans involved in either a shooting death or pointing gun at a kid, etc. Surely they can't be that crazy can they?
at least one article I read on this said that both parties had weapons... so who knows what happened... a wager gone wrong?
LSU fan made a mistake by bringing a tiny pistol to a grown mans gun party. More than likely this was a meth deal gone bad.
and the lady who died was related to the shooter's girlfriend. sounds to me that they've had some prior issues
