You, sir are just lucky to be in attendance. I will be sitting in The Quad hoping somebody feels generous enough to just give me their tix lol.

Kicking is a strange position. It’s unlike any other in all of sports. I’ve often described it as trying to play golf in a war zone. Unfortunately, for Cade Foster (Alabama’s long field goal kicker), Saturday night against LSU was a painful learning experience. This reminds all kickers everywhere that no matter how confident you may be, you too can fall victim to a bad game at any time. Anyone who kicks long enough will have a bad game– maybe even an awful one, I know I sure have. The key is to forget the mistake and remember the lesson. Another lesson here: it’s much less painful to learn from the mistakes of others. What are the lessons that can be learned from Cade’s experience and similar experiences that many of us have suffered at the hands of a treacherous position? I think there are several key ideas to maintain:

The University of Alabama football team has completed its first week of the 2012 spring practice period. The Tide has finished five of its allotted 15 practices, with the final one set to be A-Day on April 14.

God, reading through some of these practice reports is frustratingly exhilarating. On the one hand, you have a who's who of former 4 and 5 star prospects. On the other, you're thinking, when the hell will we be able to see these guys play? Good problems.
