Rabid Bama Fans Turn Out To See Saban Ball


Saturday was A-Day for the University of Alabama, the annual spring game and Saban's long-awaited public appearance as coach of the Crimson Tide. More than 92,138 fans showed up at Bryant-Denny Stadium to watch the White team win 20-13 over the Crimson. Wonder if those over 92,000 Bama fans would turn out to vote?

When Colorado spring football practices ended last week, it was clear the team had made the biggest step forward on the offensive side of the ball in the passing game with two new quarterbacks.

But what went largely unnoticed over 14 practices and the spring game was the improvement the team appears to have made in most areas in the kicking game. No player serves as a better example of that improvement than long-time return man Stephone Robinson.
