| It is insured, and will be replaced. Only thing worse than breaking the trophy is not having one. | |

| Ugh I'd hate to be that guy
...and you just know that - even though unintentional - he's going to end up getting some undeserved (/ over-the-top) sh-t from some group of fans |

| Alabama Breaks Trophy
From the Tuscaloosa News:
By Chase Goodbread
Sports Writer
Published: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 6:20 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The crystal football trophy the University of Alabama received for winning the BCS National Championship in January was accidentally destroyed Saturday, and the school is taking steps to have the item replaced.
A university spokesperson confirmed that the trophy was accidentally knocked from its stand by the father of a current player, but declined to identify the culprit, who apparently tripped near the display.
The trophy, made of Waterford crystal, is valued at $30,000, and it remains unclear if UA had the item insured. It was on display in the Mal Moore Athletic Building when the accident happened following the Crimson Tide's annual A-Day scrimmage Saturday. The trophy was being displayed in the Hall of Champions on the building's second floor.

You'd probably have been better off here doing something along the lines of still getting a shiny new trophy and/or comparison of better than [synonym for aged] one, perhaps with some reference to having collected dust.

| I've heard they're going to mortgage the entire city of Tuscaloosa to raise the $30,000 for a replacement ball. | |
