Re: Alabama's BCS Football Trophy Shattered

That LSU freak guys is awesome. You have to give him credit for some good ones over the last few years. Even though we had lost the one he did of Les doing the mission impossible in BDS and escaping was really funny.

Re: Alabama's BCS Football Tropy Shattered

With as many trophies as we have, I'd imagine people are tripping over them all the time.
Funny story about that. Long read, but worth it!

My friend and I went to the Bryant Museum for the first time a few years back. I had to hit the restroom, but there was a long line to pay to get in the museum. So we went up to one of the workers and asked if there was a restroom we could use before paying. Well, she lead us through an office and into a back hall towards a restroom. Along the way there were the typical pictures and file cabinets lining the walls. But around the floor and on top of the file cabinets were trophies. Trophies LITERALLY stacked on top of trophies. So many it was clear that they had nowhere else to put them, so they just stashed them in this back area.

I remember one was Coach Bryant's 1973 (I believe) SEC Coach of the Year trophy. And there it was, just hanging out on top of a file cabinet like it was no big deal. I kind of had this re-realization of just how much history our university has. All these trophies that would be proudly displayed in glass cases at other universities were just collecting dust in a back room of our museum because there was no room for them among all the others. Pretty crazy to think about...

Exactly. That GIF has no place being on TF, in my opinion.
Eh, humor knows no bounds.

Besides, that was about the last thing the gators have to hang on to. Who is in the other picture? I'm assuming Harvey Updyke, possibly Logan Young?

Maybe we can box up the old trophy and send it to LSU since we "shattered" their dream season :tongue:

Didn't notice it initially. I'm surprised that he used that. He usually isn't tasteless with his bits.
I don't initially think he was being tasteless. Perhaps he was...

I say that because I have seen screen savers and wallpapers with this picture in them, along with great Alabama photos. It's like some people don't realize what they're using. But with Freek, maybe he knew and meant it to be there. If so, as an Alabama fan it's not that great a clip anymore. Other than that it is hilarious.

apparently Finebaum has said, "You can't trip in Tuscaloosa without knocking over a Championship trophy."

Is the pic behind Trent showing Upshaw sacking Brantley on his injury? If so, it's a little tasteless but I don't see it as such a huge deal. JMO
