Who gets married on the day of an Alabama at LSU game? There are 40 Saturdays every year when there is no Alabama football game. Re-reading that last sentence is depressing.
Found it: https://www.nola.com/crime/2018/11/...ht-dies-two-suspects-arrested-police-say.htmlDo have a link where that info is posted? I, for one, have not seen it...
As for one of the murderers being a KY / Bama 'fan', I guess you'll have to take my word for it - saw a link to his FB page and saw the images myself, but now he's locked his page down: https://www.facebook.com/zeke.anthony.7?lst=708662603:100001428883910:1541683094Bowers’ daughter, Alexandria Bowers told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune that she and her boyfriend, her father and her female cousin went to the bar to watch the LSU-Alabama football game Saturday night. She and her boyfriend left early because she had to get up early the next day.
Witnesses told her that while her dad and cousin were at the bar, a man took issue with some of the interactions the cousin was having with one of the women at the bar, Bowers said.

Alexandria Bowers said she was told one of the men approached her father, tapped him on the shoulder and said, “Your old lady . . .” (referring to the cousin) and then punched him, she said.
Yah, I've read several reports that said he was sucker punched, then they jumped on him and hit him more while he was unconscious. SMHThanks - if the police chief said that publicly then it likely went down much like that. Changes this from a drunken accident to murder, IMO.
In most cases when over consumption of alcohol is involved, it's never "about the game" or any other reason given for the Tomfoolery that unfolded. It's because too much alcohol was consumed and those involved are out of their right mind and do stupid stuff. Which leads to unfortunate things like this. Absent the excessive alcohol, my guess this would have been nothing more than a few words and everyone goes about their merry way.It is never okay to rush to judgement. Never. But I agree that if this was about the game, no matter what this man might have said, those who beat him need to be held accountable.
They are the only school I know of which banned tailgating for a year because of their own fans trashing their own campus. They trashed the Quad when they visited during Shula's reign and stole our pennants from the north EZ. Add to it the dumbest school yell of all - "Woof, Woof!"Not LSU, but I have to be honest. I live in Atlanta and have had some terrible experiences with UGA fans. I don't talk much trash (5'10" 170 doesn't really allow it!) but they are...aggressive.
That actually played a role in my not going to the NC game last year, and probably why I will watch the SEC Championship from my house. Sad state, but true...
It's why I don't attend LSU/Bama games in Baton Rouge. The overwhelming majority of tiger fans are cool beans, but it only takes one bad apple to ruin your day/night, and in Baton Rouge, there's enough bad apples to go around. It's not enough to outnumber the majority of Tiger fans (who are really good people). But it's enough that the odds of an encounter with one is pretty high. I attended the Bama/LSU game in 2006, had a great time. But that's because I was down there WITH a lot of LSU friends. However, I remember seeing Alabama fans who you could tell weren't there with LSU acquaintances and no way in hell I'd go through or subject my family to some of the stuff I saw.Not LSU, but I have to be honest. I live in Atlanta and have had some terrible experiences with UGA fans. I don't talk much trash (5'10" 170 doesn't really allow it!) but they are...aggressive.

not many uga fans (or at least obnoxious ones) down on my side of town (east point near the airport).Not LSU, but I have to be honest. I live in Atlanta and have had some terrible experiences with UGA fans. I don't talk much trash (5'10" 170 doesn't really allow it!) but they are...aggressive.

I'll rush to judgement. I have been busy, haven't heard any full story, nor read past your post on this thread, but murder is murder. I do know 2 guys were arrested. So unless this Bama fan had a weapon and threatened their lives, what reason justifies beating another person TO DEATH?! Hell, even if their lives were threatened, enough is enough. At a certain point he was no longer a threat. Right? Apparently he was continually beaten after that fact,yes? So, I make my judgement, which won't matter. But, one day they will meet their maker and face the judgement that does matter. /End Rant.Having been in a few bar fights while in the Army I can tell you that there are usually no innocent parties involved. I have no idea what happened here. It is always tragic to see someone's life ended senselessly. But I wouldn't rush to judgement here, either.
Whatever, dude. When I posted that it was not clear what happened. But you just go ahead and rant without reading the whole thread if it makes you feel better. SMHI'll rush to judgement.

I won't argue with you. I said what I wanted to say. Even without the whole story, a guy was beaten to death. Anyone with logic would naturally think if the beating was that bad, whatever, if any threat was there, was no longer there before it got to the point it reached this severity. Even before more details were reached, it was safe to say any threat was neutralized. And I wasn't attacking you as a person in any way. I was just saying. It went too far in any circumstance. So, with everything said, I apologise if I came off as attacking you. Didn't mean it in that manner.Whatever, dude. When I posted that it was not clear what happened. But you just go ahead and rant without reading the whole thread if it makes you feel better. SMH
IFIRC, they had already bounced the niece and were bouncing the cousin (who caused the confrontation) when the guy was sucker punched.I've also wondered since I first heard about this, did this place not have bouncers or anyone to break it up before it got this bad?
Thank you for clarifying.IFIRC, they had already bounced the niece and were bouncing the cousin (who caused the confrontation) when the guy was sucker punched.
There's no way to cross reference an actual name vs membership here (we do a value one's anonymity), but the only sports page he liked on his FB page was the TideFans FB page.I was kind of wondering if the victim was a tidefans member, being a huge Bama fan and all.
Not sure there was a lot of thinking going on between those two.Wonder what those two guys were thinking when the firefighter was trying to revive the guy.
