BESSEMER, Ala. -- An argument over the Crimson Tide's loss to Texas A&M on Saturday led to a deadly shooting at an Alabama home, police said.
Two men started fighting over which team was better at a gathering in the Birmingham suburb of Bessemer when the game was in its final minutes Saturday night, Lt. Christian Clemons told news outlets. The homeowner asked the men to leave, and shots were fired outside.
Officers found Kealand Amad Pickens, who had been shot several times in the torso, Clemons said. The 27-year-old was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 3:20 a.m. Sunday.
The shooter fled the scene before officers arrived. Clemons said they know his identity, AL.com has reported, but the suspect is still at large.
Texas A&M stunned top-ranked Alabama 41-38 on a last-play field goal, ending the Crimson Tide's winning streak at 19 games.
"It's just another case of resorting to violence to handle differences," Clemons said.

C'mon at least the shooter
C'mon at least the shooter had a legitimate reason. Alabama football is religion down there.
Morons up here shoot ya for all kinds of perceived diss, like looking at em while stopped at a traffic light.
I keep my eyes straight ahead stopped at a light these days, I ain't lookin at noooooooobody, no matter how hard they're lookin at me.

It's football, it's sports.
It's football, it's sports. It's us.
Sports, and especially football are a pure tell to our overall way as a people.
It's us in the 21st Century.
(In multiple ways for the not so good AND the good, sports reveal the human condition like few other things)

No alcohol involved? Stupid
No alcohol involved?
Stupid juice and testosterone are a bad combination. Why aren't there more stories of women acting out violently over sporting events? Women drink and like sports.

He literally took one for the team.
As far as the ladies, I once witnessed an epic knockdown, hair-pulling, fingernail scratching cat fight break out underneath the grandstands at the Eureka, California Speedway while waiting in the beer line during the Edgar Winter Group's opening set for Lynyrd Skynyrd in the middle of the Edgar Winter Group performing Frankenstein. It was supremely surreal, and the cherry on top of a perfect exercise in de-evolution.

Steroids, speed, guns
Steroids, speed, guns everywhere, internet disassociation, and apocalyptic times. I wouldn't have been surprised if this happened at the game but they were watching on TV and not even at a bar.
A better version of that game.

As long as Alabama fan
As long as Alabama fan Kaitlan Collins from CNN is okay......but it's great to see Saban disappointed. Hope they lose a couple of more.
