New video and A-Day info

Hey all. Spring is winding down, with just three more practices (one of which is the A-Day scrimmage).

I've put together a new video from Tuesday's interviews with head coach Gene Chizik, quarterback Kodi Burns, safety Mike Slade, special teams coach Jay Boulware and defensive line coach Tracy Rocker.

We also got some more info on A-Day. Tickets are $5. Gates open at noon ET. There is a punt, pass and kick contest for kids ages 8-13 on the football practice fields behind the athletic complex from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET. There's also inflatable games, face painting, Aubie, etc., from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the practice fields.

The game starts at 2 p.m. ET. It will be televised live by Comcast Sports Southeast and re-air Sunday at 7 p.m. ET and Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET. It's also on the radio locally on WKKR 97.7 FM.

It will be an offense vs. defense format,. with four 12-minute quarters. Here's the scoring system:

Offense: touchdown, 6 pts.; field goal, 3 pts.; explosive play (15+ yard play), 2 pts.; three consecutive first downs, 2 pts.; PAT, 1 pt.

Defense: touchdown, 7 pts.; turnover (Unless TD), 5 pts; sack, 4 pts; blocked field goal, 3 pts; three and out, 2 pts; tackle for loss, 2 pts; blocked PAT, 1 pt.

Players and coaches will be on the field to sign autographs after the game.

Public parking will be available at the old Auburn Credit Union lot northwest of the stadium and the hay fields on South Donahue. Tiger Transit will run from 9 a.m. until 2 hours post-game from the Hay Fields to Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum. Fans are also to be advised of a road closure on Magnolia Avenue between Donahue Avenue and Cox Street, two blocks north of the stadium.

OK, now on to the video. Enjoy.
