What are you talking about Sprinhill College football Preview?

I am from Mobile and my brother goes to college there, i have not heard anything on them getting a football team. By chance, did you mean South Alabama football Preview?
Re: David_Whiteside 123 days ago

hey Katie, thanks for watching from Mobile!  I'm not sure where you saw anything on here about  Springhill College getting a football team....


This video is actually the college football preview for the University of Alabama Crimson Tide for the season of Spring 2008. Their football season does not start until Fall, but this game - called A-Day, is a Spring practice between future teammates on the same University of Alabama team next year...to test their abilities after the Spring practice season and open the doors up to the press after many closed practices. 90,000+ fans show up to this practice game!  The media frenzy is madness!I was there to talk to students about how much money is spent of University of Alabama Crimson Tide football. 


Thanks for your comments Katie; Football in Alabama is huge!!!
