If you remember shortly after the 2011 season, Alabama’s BCS Championship trophy was accidentally dropped by the father of former Tide long-snapper Carson Tinker.
Fast forward two year, and the Tide were able to actually benefit from it.
CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli reports that the remains of the trophy were auctioned off at an Alabama Celebrity Golf tournament for $105,000. CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL STORY
Ironically, the trophy was only valued at $30,000 before it was broken.
Alabama recruit Vincent Jackson Jr, no relation to Bo, decided to have some fun and take a shot at Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster.
We all remember how Foster switched back and forth, between Auburn and Alabama, while getting an infamous Auburn tattoo during his recruitment.
Jackson Jr. tweeted out a picture of this custom Alabama tattoo, saying: “The tattoo that Reuben Foster should’ve gotten”
It hasn’t been confirmed whether or not the tattoo is a drawing or not, but judging by the picture we’ll go with Jackson Jr. being bored in class one day.
Jackson Jr. is a 3-star linebacker recruit that has offers from multiple top programs, most notably: Alabama, Oklahoma, USC, and Texas A&M.
For the second year in a row, an Alabama player was left out of the College Football Hall of Fame induction class, with no bigger snub than former linebacker Derrick Thomas.
AL.com’s Don Kausler Jr. goes on to compare Thomas’ production in college versus the players that were selected. CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL STORY.
Twelve players and two coaches were selected out of 77 candidates, including: RB Ron Dayne (Wisconsin), DE Tedy Bruschi (Arizona), OT Orlando Pace (Ohio State), and HC Bill McCartney (Colorado) to name a few.
