Daniel grew up something more than a diehard Alabama fan. He is an Alabama legacy of the highest order, but somehow he is now starring for Auburn.
Carlson, Auburn's redshirt junior kicker who has never missed an extra point in college, is the lineage of a proud Alabama family with deep roots to their university. Now the favorite to win the Lou Groza Award given annually to the nation's best kicker, Carlson wanted to play for Alabama, but Nick Saban wouldn't offer him a scholarship. That decision has rewritten the history of the Carlson family, and could play a pivotal role in Saturday's Iron Bowl at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
AL-Com Carlson
When Daniel signed with Auburn in 2012, his grandfather stopped calling his grandson by his given name. Jones only calls Daniel "Turncoat Carlson" now, and until recently Jones refused to ever watch Daniel play at Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium. Jones has also mentioned taking Daniel out of his will.
Jones says he is only joking about that, too, but being an Alabama fan has been serious business for him ever since he played baseball for the Crimson Tide in the early 1950s.

Seriously, if Bama offers to pay my kid in a few years, that's wonderful. Especially if he finds the kind of success that Carlson has at Auburn.
I may be mistaken, but it's not like he chose us over them either? We all know Saban doesn't place much value on that position.

My same thoughts on the matter. Nice drop kick off the back deck.

He does but we have to be careful how much we believe from the news... Stories tend to get exaggerated.

7 field goals. Auburn wins iron bowl 21-20. Would be karma.
