An Escambia County couple died Saturday after an argument over the Alabama / LSU football game ended in shotgun blasts, according to Conecuh County authorities.

District Attorney Tommy Chapman identified the people killed as Dennis and Donna Smith of Appleton Road near Brewton.


The shooting allegedly occurred about 7 p.m. at the home of Michael Williams near the Owassa community in Conecuh County, Chapman said.

Were the Smiths Alabama or LSU fans? I'm thinking Mr. Williams was possibly an upset Tiger loyalist who heard "Roll Tide!" one too many times and utilized his skills with the Remington 1100 to put an end to that annoying problem.

I'm not sure that it was a lot of fun being a Bama fan, clad in crimson leaving Tiger Stadium on Saturday night among a jillion drunk, angry, and highly pissed off LSU fans who were in dire need of another Miller Brewing Company product and a fresh injection of grease and lard into their systems, not to mention a goddamn quarterback. Keep your head down, keep moving, and do the best that you can to avoid swipes from filet knives and flying turkey fryers.
