Alabama's crystal BCS trophy shattered in accident

The AFCA Coaches Trophy met its early demise following Saturday's A-Day Game at a team function. Only shards of Waterford Crystal remained by Monday evening. Valued at $30,000, the now-iconic award was first presented in 1986.

A university spokesperson says the father of a current player accidentally toppled the trophy when he stumbled on a rug that was under the trophy display. The Tuscaloosa News reports that officials aren't releasing the name of the man.

Evidently, they should've kept it at Wal*Mart

TAMPA - Gator Nation, the mystery is solved. It was Plant High tight end Orson Charles who broke your 2006 BCS National Championship trophy Friday in Gainesville.
It was, of course, an accident. And Charles said he is genuinely sorry for knocking the handcrafted Waterford crystal off a coffee table and onto the ground, where, just outside of Coach Urban Meyer's office, it shattered.
While in Gainesville competing in a Nike training camp, Charles said he and another prep player were touring the football stadium. That's where the BCS trophy, along with Gators quarterback Tim Tebow's Heisman Trophy, were on display. While leaning over to take a photo of the Heisman, the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Charles said he bumped into the BCS trophy - he thinks with his backside - and knocked it to the ground.

Deja vu all over again

Maybe the next one should be made of stainless steel.

Great. Now 'Bama will claim a NC for every shard.

I remember that. Urbie told Orson "Now you have to come here and help win another one". Classic Urbie.

And then Orson signed with Georgia. Classic worthless leg humper.

I could have sworn I read on ramzy's twitter that it was Duron Carter who broke it.

I was just kidding. If there's a joke to be made at Mr. XBox's expense, I'm on the case.

I declare April 17th "The Father of a Current Player Who Accidentally Toppled the Trophy When He Stumbled on a Rug" Day.

Bama fan gets two years after pleading guilty to assaulting LSU fan

The incident took place last January after Alabama defeated LSU at the Superdome to claim the BCS title. A video that went viral on the Internet showed Downing expose his genitals and perform a simulated sex act on the unconscious man at the restaurant in front of a crowd of other Alabama fans.

2 years for teabagging? That's just nuts.

 

[scarletmike]

I don't know how anyone could swallow that sentence.

On second thought...that was a dick move on the part of the Bama fan.

 

[TDunk]

These puns are just acorny.

These puns can get quite hairy unless shorn.
