A piece of history from the University of Alabama's championship run was shattered on Saturday afternoon following the Crimson Tide's annual A-Day scrimmage.

The Coaches' Trophy from this season's BCS national title was accidentally knocked off its podium and shattered by a player's father whose foot got caught on a rug that sits beneath the trophy display. The Waterford Crystal trophy was on display in the Mal Moore Athletic Facility halls, home to coach Nick Saban's office and other athletic personnel.

The handmade trophy sculpted in Ireland is valued at $30,000. The university previously had two such trophies, one at the Paul W. Bryant Museum and the other at the athletic facility. A university spokesman confirmed that they will immediately begin the process of replacing the trophy.

Maybe they can work out a sponsorship deal with the Krystal on the corner of Canal and Bourbon Streets in New Orleans.

I don't know which Crystal/Krystal catastrophe is worse.

Anyone remember when Billy Donovan for Florida dropped the basketball crystal trophy at a celebration ceremony?

Of course, the trophy was fake. Just like RIUTG. Big Grin

Stick to basketball smack. Talking football in Lexington should be against the law.
