Crimson Red Sports

Who's going?  Get together? Discuss.

I'm going. Bringing a friend who is originally from Oklahoma. I converted him to a Bama fan. It was an easy conversion due to his immediate hatred of "auburn creatures" as he calls them, that he encountered when he moved here.

You should explain to him that instead of "auburn creatures" he can just say "boogers".

How have you been man?

I'll be there.

Me too ;)

Good deal, I'm going out Saturday to their practice.

Unfortunately, I will be at a state education association convention.  If I weren't on the Board of Director's I'd skip it for A-Day.

I may slip out and watch on ESPNU, though.

Found a schedule of events that I thought might be helpful to someone.


A-Day events
A look at scheduled events for A-Day, the Crimson Tide's annual spring scrimmage on April 16:

* At noon, the UA letterman's club will hold a 7-on-7 flag football game in Bryant-Denny Stadium to entertain early-arriving fans. Last year was the first year the event was held, and drew dozens of notable former Crimson Tide players.

* At 12:15 p.m., the Walk of Fame ceremony will be held at Denny Chimes as the permanent captains from Alabama's 2010 team - Mark Barron, McElroy and Dont'a Hightower - will have their hands and cleats impressed in the cement where captains from previous UA seasons have done the same. This event will be simulcast on the video boards inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.

* At 12:45 p.m., UA will unveil the statue of UA coach Nick Saban along with Walk of Champions at the North Plaza outside the stadium. Saban's likeness will stand next to statues of Alabama's four other national championship coaches. Saban, along with members from UA's 2009 national championship team as well as some current players, will attend the event. Like the Walk of Fame event, the statue unveiling will also be carried live on the stadium video boards.

* The A-Day game kicks off at 2 p.m. in Bryant-Denny Stadium.

* At halftime of A-Day, a quarterback challenge will be held featuring pairs of former Alabama quarterbacks, one older, one younger, competing in a skills contest.

* Following the A-Day game, Saban will distribute spring awards to players.
In the days before A-Day, two notable UA football players will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before a UA baseball game. McElroy will throw out the first pitch for Alabama's 6:35 p.m. baseball game against Tennessee on Thursday, April 14. The following day, UA running back Trent Richardson will throw out the first pitch at 6:30 p.m. when UA's baseball team faces Mississippi State.
