Alabama Fan Day Boosts Morale
TUSCALOOSA, AL (WTVM) - The Alabama football team held its annual fan day festivities at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Sunday. The Crimson Tide practiced in front of an estimated 7,500 fans before holding a 45-minute autograph session on the field following the open practice.
"The first few days of camp have gone really well," senior Linebacker Courtney Upshaw said. "It is just nice to get back into the swing of things. It was just another typical practice for us today but it was nice to have the fans come out. Especially since the tornado hit this is a big season for the fans as well, so we just want to go out there and show them what we can do and give them a good season."
The Tide practiced for two hours in the Tuscaloosa humidity in shells for the first time this camp, working on basic offensive, defensive and special team drills.
"We are excited about the challenges and opportunities that this team has this year," head coach Nick Saban said. "By every indication that we've seen in the first couple of practices, we have a lot of guys that are committed to a high standard. We obviously, like every team, have some question marks and challenges. Some players on the team need to take advantage of those opportunities created by those questions and challenges and how that all works out will go a long way in determining where this team can go."
Alabama continues preseason workouts Monday before starting two-a-days Wednesday. The Tide open the 2011 season on September 3rd hosting Kent State.

For Alabama, Friday’s practice marks the end of a difficult offseason. While some schools deal with arrests, NCAA investigations and player misconduct, Alabama’s troubles have been less predictable.
The year 2011 started with a much needed dominant performance against Michigan State in the wake of the horrible second half collapse that catapulted rival Auburn to the national title.
The game went just about every way they could have hoped for the Tide. Shortly after the expected news came that three of Alabama’s best players Mark Ingram, Julio Jones and Marcell Dareus were leaving early for the NFL.

A massive F-4 Tornado tears a mile wide gash through the heart of Tuscaloosa, just missing the campus and Bryant Denny Stadium. Five Alabama students are killed and many injured including Alabama snapper Carson Tinker.
Tinker was ripped from his home as it flew apart and thrown 50 yards giving him a concussion and a fractured wrist. Tinker’s girlfriend, Alabama student Ashley Harrison was with him and did not survive the storm.
