In this Oct. 10, 2009, file photo, Alabama kicker Leigh Tiffin (99) kicks a first quarter field goal during their NCAA college football game against Mississippi in Oxford, Miss. Alabama coach Nick Saban says his kickers won't use tape to spot field goals and extra points. South Carolina Steve Spurrier pointed out Leigh Tiffin's use of the white tape to spot his kicks in last week's game and reported it to the Southeastern Conference. Saban says he didn't know Tiffin was using the tape and says it isn't worth risking a 5-yard penalty.

Hey, it wouldn't be Bama Week without a link roundup and here we have it, complete with controversy over orange jerseys, tapegate (thanks to the Old Ball Coach) and (what's new) Kiffin quotes.

And to think, some people believe the game is only played on the field on Saturdays.

Enjoy! And if you've seen a link we should have, drop us an email at lailj@knoxnews.com.
