They got rid of the beautiful crystal football...for that....? I'd throw that piece of junk to the side and celebrate with the AP's trophy.

"The neighbor -- who wishes to remain anonymous -- saw Price walk out onto his deck, stand a round metal table on its side and use the hole in the umbrella to have sex."

I'm suspicious that Ohio State had an undue influence on the design to give its players extra motivation.

Judging by the size of the man, its obvious to anyone that knows a damn thing about football the young man was just doing cock presses to get himself in shape for the upcoming football season. I'm certain if the camera person showed the entire workout it would have shown the young man, after a brief respite, turn around and work the other side of his johnson with a table that was built for cock squats.  Some people just don't understand how dedicated these players are.

For whatever reason it looks cheap to me. It just doesn't really have the allure that the crystal football had. The BCS trophy was a giant pedestal that held a crystal football. The trophy itself looks like a big deal. I just don't get the same vibe with this new one. We'll see when a players actually holding it.

I like it and am glad it's not just some silly glorified plaque like most of the NCAA title trophies.

could have been designed. It looks overly streamlined, and somewhat cheap. There is nothing unique about the base or 'abdomen,' and the football is flat and recessed inside the 'vag' area. It might look just decent sitting in a trophy case with a straight-on look, but what a disappointment overall. Surprising this was the end result of all the work...

I don't know why the powers that be insist that FBS football be different than everything else in the NCAA. Just use the classic NCAA championship trophy

I think the hoisting of that trophy is pretty iconic at this point. Just use it for FBS too.

I will admit that I looked at the photo and thought, perhaps as a few others did, "So, you grind through a season, get to this game and then win it, and for all that effort you are presented with a giant penholder? Interesting reward."

The OP is right though - this is much better than the CyHawk. Actually, tanking the game which gets you the CyHawk might be better than the CyHawk as it was initially conceived.

which is outstanding.  But then they used stainless steel?  Should have held out for Iridium.  Seriously though, a rather blah looking trophy which hopefully looks far better live than in a singular photograph.

is if the football part at the top is a button that can only be pressed with a matching-shaped piece, and pressing it causes the trophy to open up, revealing the Holy Womb of Football.

They definitely should have kept the crystal football. 

I don't like it when trophies change in general.  Iconic trophies aren't made, they acquire legendary status over time.  The crystal football was doing just that - why throw it out the window?
