Auburn is going through it right now. The Tigers are 3-2, and earlier this week it kicked its best wide receiver, Duke Williams, off the team. 

Turns out Gus Malzahn had little choice.

From our nation's site of record, Al.com:

D'haquille "Duke" Williams punched two security guards, a bartender assistant and another unidentified patron of a bar in Auburn following the football team's win over San Jose State, according to an employee who spoke exclusively to AL.com.

The employee requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the incident.

According to the witness, the incident was sparked when a member of Williams' party was kicked out of Skybar for wearing sunglasses inside, a violation of the bar's dress code policy. Williams, who the witness said appeared intoxicated, attempted to get his friend back into the bar using his local celebrity status only to be denied.

Punching four people in a bar isn't nearly as bad as wearing sunglasses inside, so this is an extremely bad look for Williams. 

For everyone else, it's another lesson in how easily things can go up in smoke.
