College football is a unique and emotional game where players take losses in many different ways.
Different is certainly a way to describe how some Alabama players took the tragic loss to Auburn when Chris Davis returned a missed field goal for what has since been known as the “Kick Six.”
It was a difficult day in general for the Crimson Tide’s special teams, especially for kicker Cade Foster. Foster finished the game miss all three of his field goal attempts in the 34-28 loss but some of his teammates would take exception to his performance during the team’s next practice.
“The next day, we’re doing our sprints, to jog our 110s, and (Foster) goes to put his shoe on in the locker room and all you hear is, ‘Oh whati’s this? Oh my God, who did this,'” Former Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron said during an appearance on “McCready and Siskey.” And everybody starts coming around. He pulls this white sock out of his shoe. It’s covered in sh*t.”
McCarron continued to share the news would eventually make it’s way up to Nick Saban who threatened his team with DNA tests should no one confess.
“Somebody done sh*t in his shoe and filled it up. And I was like, ‘Damn.’ And I just remember going to the team meeting and somebody said — I think it was Saban — he was like, ‘Somebody better f**cking confess to this sh*t in the shoe. We’re not gonna have this sh*t. If you don’t want to come f**cking confess, I’m gonna get samples and test everybody’s DNA.’
“I’m sitting with Cochran. Cochran’s dying laughing. Like, we’re up at the top. I’m turned and just head down, like trying not to die laughing in this meeting. I mean, it was unreal. I still, to this day, have no clue who sh*t in his shoe.”
