Finebaum and/or one of his guests predicted that the state would burn if Alabama lost. I guess they were wrong and alabama fans arent as crazy as they want us to be so as to boost their ratings.
That guest was more than likely Clay Travis.

And yes the shooting was about a group of people not being mad enough over a Bama loss. Again, while we cant tell who and who cannot be a fan. Events like this and others often serve as reminders that there are people who take things like this way to seriously.

Nor is putting an Auburn jersey on Paul Bryant's statue after the 2010 Auburn win which was likely the cause of the trees getting poisoned in the first place.

Okay. If we were going to create a vandalism scale from 1 to 10, putting a t-shirt put on Bear Bryant's idol with two pieces of small pieces duct tape is a 1.03. Putting poisons in the soil to destroy landmark 130-year-old oak trees AND leach into the water table is somewhere around an 8.5.

That seems harmless. I could understand being mad if they destroyed the statue but putting a jersey on it? Taking a picture of himself pissing on the trees might have been appropriate revenge not killing ancient oaks.
