Tickets to the big game are had to come by.. Especially in a one trick pony town like Tuscaloosa, Alabama. If you can score some tickets to a UA game, you’re the man. If you steal some tickets to an Alabama game, you work for UPS.
Tuscaloosa Police investigators have charged three UPS workers with stealing University of Alabama football tickets and selling them to a ticket broker. The suspects worked in UPS’s warehouse and are accused of using fake address labels to divert the packages from their destinations.
What is the world coming to when you can’t trust some guys working in a warehouse? I’m glad to see the geniuses thought the plan all the way through.. No way they get caught for a stupid reason.
The scheme was uncovered when people who bought the stolen tickets arrived at the UA-Western Carolina season opener on Sept. 1 to find their seats already occupied.
Foolproof. Way to go fellas. Oh well, I’m sure there’s always work in the moonshinin’ biz.

If the price of going to college and living weren’t so high, some of these young men and women wouldn’t feel like they had to steal in order to eat and enjoy there lives like the more fortunate people in the world. It really bothers me that we would take prayer out of schools, have football games on Sunday, and do all of these things that are an abomination to the Lord on the sabbath day and then when our young men and women began to steal, kill, lie and all other things we first feel like we should punish them and kick dirt all of them. The Bible teaches us the commandments of the Lord and if in fact there is no way to get it while they are young, then whose fault is it really? If you were to enter into a ballgame on Sunday, you probably would here screaming and clapping but i dare you all to enter into God’s house, it is one of the quietest places someone could go. There is something wrong with that picture, there should be more clapping and dancing and praise there than in anything that man could do. These young people don’t need to be put away or thrown away they need to be ministered to and taught Gods way and alot of these problems that we see today would decrease instead of increase.

Awfully tolerant of you to just assume that everyone worships on Sunday…

Sunday is the only day for worshiping. All others are blasphemers.
