And Bammer fan kicks it up a notch...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A woman charged with killing a fellow Alabama fan after the end of last weekend's Iron Bowl football game was angry that the victim and others didn't seem upset over the Crimson Tide's loss to archrival Auburn, said the sister of the slain woman.Adrian Laroze Briskey, 28, was charged Monday with murder in the killing of 36-year-old Michelle Shepherd.

Hoover police Capt. Jim Coker said both Birmingham women were Alabama fans and at the same party for the annual game between interstate rivals. With no time left on the clock, Auburn returned a missed Crimson Tide field goal more than 100 yards for a 34-28 victory, dashing any hopes of Alabama playing for a third straight national championship.

The victim's sister, Nekesa Shepherd, said she witnessed the killing and had no doubt it was about football, even though it was unclear to investigators whether the violence was motivated by the game."That's one of the things we are investigating," Coker said Monday.

Nekesa Shepherd said Briskey flew into a rage when she saw the sisters and others joking that the Crimson Tide's loss wasn't as bad as if the NBA's Miami Heat had lost a game."She said we weren't real Alabama fans because it didn't bother us that they lost. And then she started shooting," Shepherd told The Associated Press.

Shepherd said she and her sister were invited to the party by a mutual friend who also invited Briskey. About two dozen people were on hand. Shepherd, the mother of three, was shot to death in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the Birmingham suburb of Hoover and that the women did not know each other before the party, Coker said.

Court records were not available to show whether Briskey has a lawyer. She has only had a couple of speeding tickets in the past, records show.Coker said alcohol might have been involved, but investigators are awaiting the results of toxicology tests to make a determination. Shepherd said Briskey drank multiple shots of liquor during the game and "went crazy" when she heard people joking after 'Bama lost."It was over a football game," said Shepherd. "I'm never going to forget it because she died in my arms."

And Bammer fan kicks it up a notch...

This was in my Facebook feed Sunday morning, a girl I attended high school with. No shit.

Yesterday near Homewood, AL via mobile
A friend of mine from work lost her sister-n-law last night, to an outraged drunken BAMA fan that couldn't take the loss of a game that she wasn't even participating in. The fact that my friends sister wasn't that upset and stated "it's just a game" drive the woman to gun her down and shoot her 3 times. Next time you get upset about a game..... Remember it is just a game..... Someone wonderful and a mother of 3 lost her life to a BAMA fan. I used to be a fan, but now I could care less. Football will never be the same!!

I was going to post the story after finding it yesterday, but I can add this.

Edit: Here's the story from Birmingham News

Also, on somewhat on topic, and just as bizarre

Cremated Remains Found at Jordan Hare Stadium Monday Morning
"It happens a lot more than you think," McElroy said. "People want their final resting place to be Jordan-Hare Stadium."

Bizarre as in 'why would somebody do that?' OK. Bizarre as in 'this is the stuff that happens in the football-mad South?' Not a chance.

I'd bet there have been thousands upon thousands of dear old dads' ashes scattered at the Horseshoe over the years.

I'm sure that happens at most high profile football stadiums. I know of one fella a few years back. His name was Andy Dufresne. I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Wolverines let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but Ann Arbor is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile - college life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises. The Wolverines kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not. And that's how it went for Andy - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this college would have got the best of him.

Andy Dufresne escaped from the University of Michigan. All they found of him was a muddy set of walmart pajamas, a bar of soap, and an old rock hammer, damn near worn down to the nub. I remember thinking it would take a man six hundred years to tunnel through the whore with it. Old Andy did it in less than four. Oh, Andy loved geology. I imagine it appealed to his meticulous nature. An ice age here, million years of mountain building there. Geology is the study of pressure and time. That's all it takes really, pressure, and time. That, and a big goddamn head coach. Like I said, in college a man will do most anything to keep his mind occupied. Turns out Andy's favorite hobby was totin' his dad's ashes out onto the campus, a handful at a time. I guess after Tommy was raped, Andy decided he'd been here just about long enough. Andy did like he was told, surround that freshman as shove him around. The refs simply didn't notice. Andy crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit smelling foulness I can't even imagine, or maybe I just don't want to. Five hundred yards... that's the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile. Or what I like to call, downtown.
