- AJ McCarron says teammate pooped in Cade Foster's shoe after kick-six loss to Auburn
One of the most infamous moments in the Iron Bowl's history , between Alabama football and Auburn , happened 11 years ago, but the legend continues to grow.
On Nov. 30, 2013, the Tigers' Chris Davis returned a field goal attempt by the Crimson Tide 's Adam Griffith for the game-winning score, giving Auburn the 34-28 win over Alabama at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

While Griffith is remembered for the miss of the kick that set up the game-winning play, former Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron shared an unknown anecdote on an appearance on the McCready and Siskey Podcast about kicker Cade Foster, who was the actual starting kicker for the game.

Foster missed a 44-yard field goal attempt on the Crimson Tide's opening drive and a 33-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. He then had a field goal blocked, which would have put Alabama up 31-21 with 2:32 left in the game and avoided the end-of-game field goal attempt. The conversation starts at 1:13:50 in the video below. (Video contains NSFW language)
"Cade is a great dude, love him to death, but not a very good kicker," McCarron said on the podcast appearance. "He showed up Sunday, the next day, and we're doing our sprints, and he goes to put his shoe on in the locker room and all you hear is 'Aww, what's this, who did this?' and everyone starts coming around, he pulls his white sock out of his shoe, and it's covered in sh**. Somebody done sh** in his shoe, and filled it up.

"I was like damn."
Foster's and Griffith's struggles with having a bigger leg for long kicks led to the change at kicker for Alabama's potential game-winner. Apparently one of the players in the Alabama locker room took more exception to Foster's misses and sent the message.
Former Alabama coach Nick Saban took exception to what had happened and was very blunt about finding out what happened in a team meeting.
"I just remember going to the team meeting and someone said, I think it was Saban, (said), 'Somebody better (explicit) confess to this sh** in the shoe. We're not going to have this sh**. If you don't want to come (explicit) confess, I am going to get samples and test everyone's DNA,'" McCarron said.

While Saban was stern about getting to the bottom of the cruel prank, McCarron said the mystery prankster remains at large, at least as far as he knows.
"I still to this day have no idea who sh** in his shoe," McCarron said. "... They never got samples from everybody."
