Alabama's Crystal BCS Trophy Destroyed: The $30,000 Waterford crystal football awarded to Alabama for winning the BCS championship was knocked off its pedestal and shattered during spring game festivities. The unnamed father of a player on the team tripped on a rug. This has happened before: In 2006, Orson Charles broke Florida's crystal football while on a recruiting visit. He later signed with Georgia. Alex Scarborough of ESPN in Alabama tweeted a picture of what was left.
Maybe it's time for a new type of trophy?? Crystal and football really do not go together very well.

I wondered what would happen if one of the players dropped that thing during the post-game celebration on the field.

Another reason why the Stanley Cup is the best sports trophy in the world.

The Pens did break in Mario's pool in 91.

I've always thought it was one of the ugliest major sport trophies in existence. Hopefully they come up with something new for a playoff system.

When Alabama replaces it will they count that as another National Championship?

I am going to have to call in to Pat Robertson's show and ask him to explain why SEC football programs have been so accident prone recently.
