Cade Foster had a rough night on November 30. The placekicker for the Alabama Crimson Tide missed two field goals in their game against in-state rival Auburn, while the Tigers blocked another of Foster’s kicks. Auburn cornerback Chris Davis actually returned the last missed field goal 109 yards for a fluke, game-winning touchdown.
Some Alabama fans displayed a complete lack of class, sending hateful tweets and even death threats to the senior kicker. However, just a few days after the game, Foster received a letter of encouragement from someone unexpected:
Now he has the support of a former president.
Foster showed off this note from George W. Bush on his Instagram account Wednesday.
The note says: “Dear Cade (#43), Life has its setbacks. I know! However you will be a stronger human with time. I wish you all the best- Sincerely- another 43 George Bush.”
Foster said he will definitely frame this keepsake.
If a surprise letter from a former president (and true class act) doesn’t lift Foster’s spirits, nothing will.
