For a symposium in allegory visit this article and it's gazillion posts. I'll leave it at that.
"Alabama's $30K BCS trophy shattered"
Course, the guy might just be clumsy.

Looks like a playoff/plus 1 is pretty much a done deal after 2013 BCS contract is up. I don't think it will be the panacea some think though. Personally I wished they go back to traditional bowl matchups played on January 1st, revote, then a BCS CG one week later at a rotating site. Won't happen, but on my Santa list.

It's been reported that the actual trophy is in the Bryant Museum. I don't understand having 2, but the Bryant Museum facebook page said all 3 crystal balls are fine. I know they had one in a different building, but I didn't know it was another besides the regular 3

Undeserved my arse! You can say the system is flawed, I don't think anyone would disagree with that, but to say we did not deserve it is a bullshite, biased, and extremely butthurt statement.

Especially a $30K extra....odd.

Odd indeed. $30,000 isn't gonna make them go broke, but it's still a lot. I heard last year that they were duscussing issuing a trophy to every team before 1986 that won the coaches poll, but I don't know how true that is.

1950 - 1986? I don't know man, cost isn't really an issue, especially if each awarded school ponied up. Just seems a bit contrived. What was, was and what is, is....sorta thing.

AHA! I know its wikipedia, but I havent found the article I read that mentioned it.

Like I said, I don't know how true that is. But it would make sense for there being another maybe

Well, there's no reference source, but I can't imagine why else someone would put it there. But "The trophy consists of a Waterford Crystal football[1] affixed to an ebony base, and carries a value of over $30,000" suggests that what was broken was the actual AFCA/BCS trophy, so still not sure.

Beats me. If it was, oh well. Life goes on. It's a trophy; it can be replaced.

Yeah, alum/booster money can cover that pretty easy. Course that guys kid might get the evil eye in practice.

It was Carson Tinkers dad. If we end up cursed or something we know who to blame.
Carson will probably get teased excessively about it
