Not The Crimson Tide She Expected

It was an amazing end, an unexpected conclusion to a hard fought contest. Then something like this had to happen...
Alabama fan shot dead outside football party because she said she didn't care Crimson Tide had lost to bitter rivals Auburn

An Alabama fan was shot dead after a fight outside a football-watching party shortly after the Crimson Tide lost in a stunning upset to the Auburn Tigers Saturday.

Michelle Shepherd was attacked by fellow fans of the University of Alabama after she commented that she didn't care that much that the team had lost, her sister says.

[...] Ms Shepherd, a mother of three and a career social worker from Birmingham, attended a party to watch the Iron Bowl with other Alabama fans in Hoover, Alabama with her sister Neketa Shepherd, Neketa told the Birmingham News.
Apparently another intoxicated female who was a "better" fan killed this young woman.

Another good reason to avoid crowds, especially sports events.

I'm amazed that Tide fans weren't shooting themselves.

Gorges - I never thought that the introduction of alcohol sales into any sporting event, large scale or not, was a good idea.

WoFat - yeah! At the very least we should be examining the number of calls for psychiatric intervention or suicide prevention in Alabama after that game. I imagine half the state is on Zoloft right now.

And I thought the locals here in Texas were bonkers about football, sheesh!

Damned! Now they'll try to outlaw guns at football parties! One drunk chick spoiling it for everybody!
