ESPNU to Televise 2011 A-Day Game on April 16th
March 11, 2011


Tuscaloosa, Ala-The University of Alabama's annual A-Day Game will be televised live to a national audience by ESPNU on Saturday, April 16. A-Day is the 15th and final practice of the spring with kickoff from Bryant-Denny Stadium scheduled for 2 p.m. (CDT). As it is each year, admission is free to the public.

"We're pleased to televise Alabama's spring game and A-Day festivities as well as our SEC Thursday night baseball game on ESPNU," Dan Margulis, ESPNU director, programming, said. "We recognize the appetite college fans have for their teams and continue to look for ways to serve them."

Over the last four years, Alabama has totaled 345,700 fans at A-Day. UA established a college football record in the spring of 2007 as a capacity crowd of 92,138 watched head coach Nick Saban's first A-Day at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Last year's attendance of 91,312 led the country and an average of 86,425 have been on hand for the last four A-Day scrimmages at Alabama. With Bryant-Denny Stadium's expansion pushing capacity over 100,000, Alabama will once again have a chance to regain the spring game attendance record this year (Ohio State had 95,722 in 2009).

ESPNU is now available in 73 million households and the ESPN network has televised SEC sports for 28 years. On-air commentators for A-Day will be Dave Neal, Andre Ware and Tom Luginbill.

In addition to the game on Saturday, there will be plenty of activities going on at the Capstone A-Day weekend. ESPNU will televise Alabama's baseball game against Tennessee Thursday night and the baseball team hosts the Volunteers on Friday and Saturday as well. The softball team hosts Mississippi State April 15, 16 and 17, men's tennis hosts Auburn later in the day on April 16, and women's soccer has a spring game against Samford the evening of April 15.

Like the last two years, there will be a flag football game featuring former Alabama players Saturday morning in Bryant-Denny Stadium and the 2010 team captains will be honored at Denny Chimes prior to the game as well. A complete schedule of events will be available at a later date on RollTide.com.

Following spring break next week, the Crimson Tide starts spring practice on Monday, March 21, and will practice over the next four weeks culminating with A-Day on April 16.

Alabama Begins Spring Drills
March 21, 2011

Tuscaloosa, Ala-The University of Alabama football team began spring practice on Monday afternoon with a two-hour workout in shorts and helmets at the Thomas-Drew Practice Facility.

"It was good to be out there practicing again," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said. "It seemed like it came up quickly. It doesn't seem like that long ago that we were having bowl practice. As a coach, the thing that you enjoy most is teaching the players and practice is the best time to do that. Spring practice is an opportunity to establish a standard of excellence for your team."

The Crimson Tide welcomed nine mid-year signees to the practice field as Ronald Carswell, Trey Depriest, Quinton Dial, Aaron Douglas, Phillip Ely, Demetrius Hart, Wilson Love, Vinnie Sunseri and Jesse Williams strapped on the crimson helmet for the first time.

Alabama also welcomed three new coaches to the staff with wide receivers coach Mike Groh, defensive line coach Chris Rumph and offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland getting their first on-field look at the 2011 Crimson Tide squad.

The Tide returns nine starters on the defensive side of the football, led by 2010 captains Mark Barron and Dont'a Hightower. Other returning starters on the defense include defensive backs Dre Kirkpatrick, Robert Lester and Dee Milliner, defensive linemen Josh Chapman and Damion Square along with linebackers Nico Johnson and Courtney Upshaw.

The UA offense returns four starters along the front line, including center William Vlachos, guards Barrett Jones and Chance Warmack along with right tackle D.J. Fluker. The wide receiving corps will be without Julio Jones, but veteran starters Darius Hanks and Marquis Maze anchor the unit while Michael Williams returns for his second year as the starter at tight end.

"The number one thing about spring practice is establishing fundamentals," Saban said. "We lost games last year because of fundamentals; fundamentals as simple as how to carry a football."

Alabama will take Tuesday off and return to the practice field on Wednesday for the second of 15 spring workouts leading up to the A-Day Game at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday, April 16.
