Man charged with attempted murder
PINSON, Ala. -- A Pinson man was charged with attempted murder for holding a gun to his son's head and pulling the trigger in the midst of a tantrum after Alabama's double overtime loss to Arkansas Saturday.
The bullet narrowly missed 20-year-old Seth Logan, who said he picked the wrong time to ask his dad for a car, sheriff's spokesman Deputy Randy Christian said Monday.
Joseph Alan Logan, 46, surrendered to police Saturday and was charged with attempted murder and domestic violence. He was released from the Jefferson County jail Sunday on $7,500 bond.
"I know we take football serious in the South," Christian told The Birmingham News for a Tuesday story, "but that's crossing the line."
The request upset Joseph Logan because his son has already wrecked several vehicles, Logan told investigators.
"He claimed he was just trying to scare his son," Christian said.
According to the police report, Joseph Logan had been drinking alcohol and began slamming doors, tossing boxes and throwing dishes in the sink after the Crimson Tide lost its football game to Arkansas 34-31 in double overtime Saturday.
While Joseph Logan was throwing the tantrum, Seth Logan asked for a new car.
Joseph Logan then retrieved a 9 mm pistol from his car, grabbed his son by the collar and pressed the gun to his son's forehead, the report said.
Logan threatened to shoot his son in the head, then pulled the trigger.
Seth Logan moved his head just as his father fired and the bullet whizzed past him, the report said.
Seth Logan fled to a neighbor's house to call police. He told police his ear was numb and his head ringing, but he was OK.
Sheriff's authorities called the SWAT team after discovering the armed father still had a 13-year-old son in the house with him.
Joseph Alan Logan walked out of the house with the other son and turned himself in to police just before the SWAT team arrived, Christian sai

Wait....either you changed it or it really does go there.
Okay, since I didn't see the criteria they based it on, I can only guess as to how they came up with it. If it's money and power, #1 is Bama hands down. Highest salary, a fan base that worships the ground Lord Saybinz walks upon and he has NO frickin' buyout. Plus, he has his own personal mouthpiece, Paul Fineslut.
Georgia at #3 is pretty much spot on. You can totally underachieve for 10 years and have job security.

To me its Florida hands down. I think that's a better job than Texas. They have it all. Main thing I disagree with on that list is Auburn and Tennessee. Flip flop them and I agree with it. One could probably argue south carolina and arky too.

Alabama fan shoots, kills LSU fan and wife after Tiger loss
By Matt Hinton
The rest of the country consistently underestimates the gut level passion of fans in the SEC. It's not that the SEC is better -- you can't prove that -- but its partisans do care more. Way, way more, and you can prove that: They chant harder, they bite harder, they burn former coaches in effigy and sometimes, tragically, they start shooting:
An Escambia County (Alabama) couple died Saturday after an argument over the Alabama/LSU football game ended in shotgun blasts, according to Conecuh County authorities.
[...]
Investigators said witnesses told them that Dennis Smith, an LSU fan, called [Michael] Williams, a fan of the Crimson Tide, after the game Saturday evening and an argument ensued.
Officers said Donna Smith was a relative of Michael Williams' girlfriend.
Soon, the Smiths arrived at Williams' home and the men wound up in a physical altercation, officers said.
Smith retrieved a pistol from his vehicle, and threatened Williams, who armed himself with a shotgun and fired two blasts, striking and killing Dennis Smith, officers said.
Donna Smith then threatened Williams, who shot and killed the woman, they said.
Alcohol was probably involved, if you had to ask. There's not much to add to this terrible, terrible story, matched for grisliness only by the shooting death over a $20 bet between South Carolina and Clemson fans in 2006 or the murder in an argument over high school football in Alabama last summer, except maybe a warning: If you must taunt, please, restrict it to the phone, Internet, office or other well-lit, public locale.

Alabama fan stabs five Auburn students
Nathan at Golden Tornado points out this bizarre story:
A fan screaming "Roll Tide" outside a fraternity house led to a violent altercation early Saturday that left seven Auburn students injured, five with stab wounds.
Apparently the guy gets into a fight at the fraternity house, stabs a guy, and takes off. Other students chase him and ends up getting into another fight down the street, where he stabs four more Auburn students. Police don't have a suspect.
OK, I get that it's the Iron Bowl - but it's just a game.

Man Charged After Fan Dies After USC's Game
Posted: Oct 11, 2010 9:47 AM CDT Updated: Oct 14, 2010 10:22 AM CDT
By Kate Dittloff
More charges could be filed after a South Carolina man dies after USC's win over Alabama.
20-year-old Allen Gasque was killed when he was accidentally run over after Saturday's game.
Investigators say he got into a fight with 25-year-old Curtis Simms while waiting in traffic.
They say both men were out of their vehicles fighting when Gasque ended up on the ground and the truck he was actually riding in ran him over.
Investigators say the driver of the truck didn't see him, so far he's not been charged.
Simms was arrested after the incident and went before a judge in Columbia Sunday where he was charged with breach of peace.
He's also been ordered to not make any contact with Gasque's friends of family and was given a $10,000 PR bond.
The incident is still under investigation.

How can coaching in West Vance be in the top 5? That's got to be one of the most stressful crazy jobs in existence.

Tuscaloosa man with racially offensive signs arrested after gunfire (updated)
Published: Thursday, July 14, 2011, 7:08 AM Updated: Thursday, July 14, 2011, 11:34 AM
TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- An 62-year-old east Tuscaloosa man who had posted racially offensive signs and has been arrested after authorities say he fired a shotgun twice at a neighbor.
Billy Ray White was arrested Wednesday. The Tuscaloosa County sheriff's office says he's charged with attempted murder and is being held on $50,000 bond. He also has a $1,000 bond set for a reckless endangerment charge and a $15,000 bond for a charge of shooting into an occupied automobile or building.
Neighbor Eddie Eatmon says it's the second time in 3 days that White had drawn a gun. Eatmon said he warned a new neighbor on Wednesday to be careful when passing White's house.
Eatmon says White and the man later had a confrontation, and White got a shotgun, fired but missed. White reportedly terrorized black neighbors and had signs that included the N-word racial epithet and said, "White and proud of it" and "Roll Damn Tide" according to a Tuscaloosa News report.

Weird...
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Off-the-field problems have been piling up for Alabama's football team.
Two players were arrested in a span of six days, one player has been dismissed and linebacker Prince Hall has been indefinitely suspended.
With spring practice approaching and a top-rated recruiting class recently wrapped up, coach Nick Saban still often finds himself dealing with Bama's bad behavior.
"It's a problem. It is a problem," Saban said Tuesday at a news conference. "Our team needs to have better discipline, judgment. We cannot tolerate poor judgment."
Our team needs to have better discipline, judgment. We cannot tolerate poor judgment.
--Nick Saban
The latest incidents have included the arrest of All-Southeastern Conference safety Rashad Johnson on disorderly conduct charges after he allegedly pushed a security guard to the ground at a bar in the off-campus district called the Strip early last Saturday morning.
Plus, Saban said Tuesday he has kicked freshman defensive tackle Jeremy Elder off the team following his recent arrest for allegedly robbing two other students at gunpoint. He said Hall has been suspended for "violation of team rules and policies related to his behavior" and won't participate in spring practice or the team's offseason program.
Hall has started 13 games over the past two seasons.
"At some point in the future, we'll determine what his future in this program really is," Saban said.
The recent problems were only the latest incidents for the Tide. All told, eight players have been arrested in the nearly 14 months since Saban's hiring, five for disorderly conduct.
He did indicate that Johnson, a team captain, would not face suspension. The arrest of one of the team's stars and leaders was another public black eye on the program, though.
"Regardless of how many people got arrested this week on the Strip, there was only one on ESPN, only one on Fox Sports and only one all over the state of Alabama in every newspaper," Saban said. "The consequences for his behavior and the responsibility that he has and the opportunity that he has is far greater.
"It's the price that we all play to have that opportunity. We cannot continue to have these kinds of issues and problems in the future."
Most of the arrests have stemmed from incidents on or near the Strip. Saban said if the problems continue, he might consider imposing more restrictions on his players. He called Johnson "as fine a person as we have on our football team."
"I've said enough is enough and we're trying to fix it," Saban said. "But Rashad Johnson does not need to get suspended from the team. I'm not saying what he did was right. I'm saying he put himself at risk in a bad situation.
"He has a due process to go through and he is not guilty until he goes through that due process. I think this is America and I think we're allowed to do that even though you all [reporters] have already convicted him of doing something terribly wrong."
Four players arrested before last season on mostly similar charges were not suspended for any games. There were plenty of others forced to sit out for off-the-field behavior.
"We've had 30 games missed by players last year for suspensions," Saban said. "That may be an NCAA record. We're heading in that direction again next year."

Alabama in trouble with NCAA again
Alabama awaits NCAA ruling after revealing continuing investigation into textbook improprieties involving athletes
Friday, March 06, 2009
By GENTRY ESTES
Sports Reporter
TUSCALOOSA — An investigation triggered almost 17 months ago by a female student-athlete has the University of Alabama's football program in hot water again with the NCAA.
UA representatives met Feb. 20 in San Diego with the NCAA Committee on Infractions to address allegations of two potentially major violations stemming from Alabama's self-initiated investigation into impermissible receipt of textbooks.
Schools officials released details Thursday of the NCAA's charges and UA's admission that the university "failed to adequately monitor its student-athlete textbook distribution system." A final ruling by the NCAA is expected by May.
"The University has not denied, and cannot deny, that the infractions occurred," said UA's formal response to the NCAA. "Instead, the University has acted diligently to investigate fully this occurrence, take appropriate corrective action to reform its textbook issuance process and prevent or deter any reoccurrence."
Alabama's report did not include any infractions by members of the Crimson Tide men's basketball program.
The school now hopes its arguments, cooperation and corrective actions will be enough to deter NCAA penalties that could range from the forfeiture of games to the loss of football scholarships and recruiting visits to the extreme punishment of the death penalty, which is made possible by Alabama's status as a "repeat offender."
School officials self-reported the violations, and five offending football players were suspended for a 2007 game against Tennessee three days after UA was first made aware of improprieties. UA described its own reaction as "immediate and severe."
"Our compliance department and the administration, when that happened and we discovered that, I've never seen a response to a problem that aggressive in resolving it," UA athletic director Mal Moore told the Press-Register last summer. "We kept the NCAA abreast of everything that has been done."
UA officials began an investigation soon after Oct. 17, 2007, when an employee of the University Supply Store noticed "questionable textbook charges in excess of $1,600 for the fall 2007 semester" for a female athlete. The NCAA was notified Oct. 19, after the UA compliance office uncovered "charges in excess of $1,300 and $1,500 for fall 2007."...
