Meh, better than shoes.
People of Chicago stop shooting each other over nothing.
I remember back in the ‘70’s, one guy in town was tossed through a plate glass window over an argument whether Billy Sims or Johnny Rogers should win the Heisman. Alcohol may have played a part.....
Forget it, Jake. It’s Bama.”
Yet we still wag our finger at soccer fans in South America
Seriously, anyone who would shoot someone over a stinkin football game is one pathetic human being
rednecks, guns, booze and football entitlement.
Two people shot and killed in the whole state constitutes “a bizarre and tragic pattern of violence following Alabama football losses”? It’s a safe bet that alcohol, or drugs, or both were a factor in those shootings.
Someone probably knows if he's still doing time in the Alabama state prison, or if he's out. It's been a few years ago...
But seriously yes, there is a lunatic fringe... everywhere. No sports entity is immune from it, unfortunately.
Ping to the AU list.
I want to point out that this is the OTHER instution’s fan base, not ours. It is also probably the 85% of their fan base which has no direct connection to that institution; most probably didn’t even graduate high school.
Also, some sad news for the ping list (and forgive me if I posted this before). Clint N Sukhs passed away suddenly last month. I didn’t have the heart to remove him from the ping list yet. If his widow or family are reading this, I hope you know the FR and AU families join in mourning his passing.
I recall when Philadelphia Eagles fans celebrated winning the Super Bowl by rioting and committing acts of arson, vandalism, and assaults on police. The same thing happened in Los Angeles when the Lakers won the basketball championship.
What should they shoot each other over?
Sure, leave that up to California baseball fans ...
So I can understand the passion. But having once been crazy and recovered, and understanding the feeling of those still afflicted, doesn't mean I think crazy is OK.
Don’t you y’all me you Yankee.
