"After the 33-18 loss to Georgia in the College Football Playoff championship in January, Alabama is keeping the runner-up trophy it received in the cafeteria. The Crimson Tide calls it the participation trophy. There's a sign underneath it that labels it as such, offensive linemen Emil Ekiyor Jr. said Friday.

The sign also says, "Are you happy with it?"

I loved it when Nick started calling anything less than the national championship game a consolation game.

The Bama way that goes back many years

"We have a team across the state that has a goal of winning the SEC, well thats not our goal, the SEC is yours by birthright, we dont care about being the best team in the league, our goal...our only goal is to be the team in the nation. Anything less is a disappointment and as long as your here I'll remind you of what I just said" Paul W. Bryant
