For both the player and his father.....

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.

What idiot puts a $30,000 piece of crystal where any honyock can knock it on the floor?

Probably couldn't afford to free up enough spare change to put up a decent trophy case.

Oh yeah, I forgot that some places stockpile 'em.

My bad.

They could market and sell the broken pieces for $10 each and make mint. What Bammer wouldn't dish out $10 for a chunk of the trophy? Duck fans paid for pieces of used Turf.
