I recall a story in the Huntsville Times either last year or the year before after the Alabama/Aubie game. I believe there was an instance where a father stabbed or shot his son after 'Bama lost because he asked to borrow the car or something. Maybe somebody can clear that up.

If you control your breathing you won't miss.
My wife wanted us to get married in October I told her to go ahead and I would be there when the season was over.
Well we have been together for ten years after we got married in June.

I was raised on English soccer and have seen many games involving Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, etc. Too many times to count there has been violence both inside and outside the stadium. However, the violence generally has nothing to do with the game itself. It's called "bovver" (aka Bother). The 'sport' involves seeing another fan (generally on their own) with the other team's colors. A gang of so called fans from the other team get the one fan to the ground and kick him/her with their bovver-boots (steel toed shoes). Also gangs of fans run through city shopping centers causing all kinds of random violence.

Never had that problem over here at football games aside from a few nasty comments from fans of other teams. No violence thankfully.

One of my wife's friends planned her wedding, and the groom had no say in it, but then again he didn't really care. The wife was from middle Tennessee and he was from north Alabama. No one with any sense realized until it was too late that she and her mother had planned the wedding for the fourth Saturday in October, starting an hour after the Bama/ut kickoff. They had about 50 people at their wedding, but I wasn't one of them!

My wife scolded me for not going with her, but I said if they had wanted people at their wedding, they wouldn't have planned that poorly!
 
Yeah, I don't think we have anything on the Europeans when it comes to violence based on sporting events.

On a side note, my roommate is getting married the day of this year's SEC championship. On the chance Alabama does make it to Atlanta, he knows good and well(and agrees) my gift will be mailed and not presented at the wedding.

Hey DD, isn't he a barn fan? I don't think he has to worry about missing anything!

Yeah he is... he's ticked about the possibility of having to miss the game as well. Although, I don't think he has to worry about missing a Barn game in Atlanta that day
He said he's going to have a big screen at the reception though.

We were driving to Baton Rouge one year to attend the game and driving down the interstate somewhere around Greene county. It was raining so hard you could hardly see anything at all. My son was driving and pulled over to switch drivers with my husband. As my husband went around the car to the driver's side, a big 18-wheeler came along and my husband was literally hugging the side of the car. He was plastered to the side of the car, wind & rain flying and that was one funny sight. He looked like the Cookie Monster holding on outside the windows. We were laughing so hard and he got in the car and wanted to know what I would have done if the truck had hit him (he was laughing too) and I told him I would have had him put on ice and pick him up on the way back home. He said he thought that would be what I would say
. We still laugh about that to this day. Hey, after 40 years marriage he knows me for sure by now.

I was at a game in the early 70's when it was announced that a bomb threat had been received. Nobody left.
On another note, before my wife and I were married I informed her that the third Saturday in October was "reserved". In the mid--nineties our daughter had a college function on that particular Saturday for two years in a row. Fortunately (wife is not an astute football fan) those two years we played the viles on the FOURTH Saturday. I informed my wife to never make plans like that again as I couldn't keep getting that game changed. RTR
