Sticks and stones may break our bones, but it seems only Alabama fans can hurt us these days. 
Even before the Tigers’ dismal performance against the Crimson Tide in the national championship, an Alabama fan began printing T-shirts with the phrase “Hey Homeauxs – we just beat the hell out of you 24-10.”

Individuals in both the LSU and Alabama communities have spoken out against the shirts, calling them offensive.

Naturally, they sold like hotcakes. But how couldn’t they? While traditional bestiality is deplorable and disgusting, when the animals are in charge it becomes hilarious and shirt-worthy.
 
The same principle applies with the “Hey
