Fans talk about doing all sorts of things after their team loses or when one they really hate wins. Most of the time it is utter nonsense and doesn't go beyond being just talk. However, on rare occasion they mean it and try to follow through.
So when tweets appeared on Twitter threatening to kill Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn and blow up the team's stadium the police had no choice but to investigate.

The tweets were sent out on Sunday and have since been deleted, but just like anything on the internet they haven't truly disappeared:

Apparently this idiot has a history of going off on Twitter rants against teams in the past, but when they talk about getting violent the police have to investigate even though they are likely just social media babble. Texas A&M did the same when someone working on the stadium made comments claiming he sabotaged construction.
With how common school and workplace shootings have become it is hard to tell whether someone is just talking or if they mean what they say. As much as it sucks to give morons that make these kinds of comments any attention, it will be the time the authorities don't investigate that something bad happens.
So go on officers. Track this idiot down and throw the book at him. He deserves it.
