Title: Say goodbye to the "Iconic" Crystal football...
Post by: #1Tidefan on July 24, 2013, 12:00:52 AM
Since the BCS era, it has been a symbol of 'National Championships'...no more though.

Anyone got any suggestions for the new "NC" trophy?
I'd like to see a 14K gold plated FB with a Script A, with a Crimson color inlay (if we win that is)  :D

Why do I have the feeling that it will end up being nothing but a plaque?

There's a lot of folks that would like to BUST his head. :)

A model of Bryant-Denny Stadium? Or Denny Chimes?

Those guys will never win one, so they don't get to vote.

I don't know, I'd give 'em pretty good odds in a pie eating contest. :lol2:

I for one, will miss it. I can't for the life of me imagine anything else to replace it with...
There should be a consensus vote amongst us fans of College Football...jmo.

I put a lot of effort into my braggadocios profile pic. It will be a shame when the crystal egg is retired from active duty.

Yes it was.  And I thought that was the first Crystal Football too.  Maybe we will win the last to go with it.
