People take college football way too seriously

A friend of mine sent me the link to a very disturbing story. Two were killed during an argument about a stupid college football game between Alabama and the school that I go to, LSU. Here's the story that was published on the Louisiana Channel 9 News website:

2 dead in argument over Ala.-LSU football game

OWASSA, AL (AP) - Investigators say two people were shot to death after an argument over the LSU-Alabama football game.

Prosecutors identified the victims as Dennis and Donna Smith of Brewton.

The shooting happened about 7:00 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. He was being held Monday without bond. A sheriff's investigator did not know if he had an attorney.

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 41-year-old Dennis Smith had a pistol and the 28-year-old Williams had a shotgun and fired. 39-year-old Donna Smith was a relative of Williams' girlfriend.

This was stupid and completely unnecessary.

Peace people, give it a try every once in a while.

There are just so many things wrong about this article and it probably had little to do with college football...
