Alabama uses cafeteria sign as a daily reminder of the national title loss
There’s no doubt that Alabama football loves to win. But it hates to lose even more.
The wins and championships pile up under Nick Saban at such a rate that it’s easy to lose track.
The losses, however, are never forgotten. And in case you thought the program was ready to move on from its 33-18 loss to Georgia in the national championship game, the Crimson Tide haven’t and as long as the players have to go to the team cafeteria to eat they won’t forgot about it.
Nick Kelly of the Tuscaloosa News reports that the runner-up trophy stays visible in cafeteria where players have dubbed it a “participation trophy.”
Offensive lineman Emil Ekiyor Jr. looks at the trophy as a reminder of how much the Tide hate losing.
The sign also says, “Are you happy with it?”
“Just a little motivation to see that everyday and it reminds you, ‘OK, this is what we’re really working for to change the outcome of the season,'” Ekiyor said. “Focused on being the best we can be this year to ultimately have a different outcome.”
“You made it but you didn’t do anything,” he said. “You didn’t win.
Alabama has lost the College Football Playoff national championship game twice, against Clemson in 2016 and last year. The Crimson Tide have won the CFP in 2015, 2017 and 2020.

We also lost the title game after the 2018 season. We’ve lost more NCGs in the last 6 years than most teams have national titles.
DEFINITION OF ENTITLEMENT!!!!!!!
Prepare to lose again and then SABAN RETIRES!!!!
PS. What a bunch crybabies!!!!!
Negan
Negan. Yak yak yak yak. Last year is over. 2022 is what matters
Says the person from a fan base who is forever talking about what they did when “Bear was the coach..” HAHAHA!
Says the tr@$hy POS who had no coaches to talk about for 4 decades
“Negan the Troll”. You are some kind of special, for sure. It is very obvious to everyone but you and a couple of others that you are obsessed with Alabama football.
Is it possible that you hate yourself because you are an Alabama fan deep down but tell yourself you shouldn’t be? Is this how you deal with internal conflict? Help us all to understand why you do what you do…
I wasn’t all that happy when Kirby Smart left Bama but I do not troll Georgia articles and try to pick apart their coach, team or victories.
Are you in Middle School or perhaps Junior High School? I can’t think of a sound minded individual doing what you do. Maybe you are just a freckle faced kid with acne or something? At best, you are immature.
You are funny, an amusement.
We will see how it plays out on the field. I look forward to your next mentally deranged comments!.
Maybe the sign should read this instead.
“11th in Rushing against the SEC for the 2021 season! Are you happy with it!?”.. lol “3.34 yrd/carry. Are you happy with it?”. The new OC, and DC’s, are you happy with them? lol
Tennessee has not beaten Alabama since the iphone was introduced. The Tide could not have played any worse last year, was one of the youngest teams in all of CFB, the Vols one of the oldest and Bama still put a beatdown on them. So that begs the question, you patty cake, sunshine pumper, why are you even showing your orange face here?
Your a one dimensional team! lol. 11th in rushing vs the SEC?? Wow, SC rushed better than you. 3.34 a carry? Beat you all in passing as well.. smh. I was shocked you even go to the post season honestly.. lol
Bama and TN are almost never good at the same time.. Bama has no offensive genius there. Sark is gone and this season, it showed.. Your D center is swiss and UGA didn’t even need to throw it to beat you in the natty game.. You are literally a couple of losses away from Saban retiring. He’s not going to want to deal with the NIL and collective. He has to beg for money to even get anywhere close to where he was recruiting under the table, going forward. lol
LMAO… The Vols a closer to being equal to Vandy than being equal to Bama…
You’re the Vols equivalent to Negan…
When you have the Heisman trophy QB you go with what the defense gives you. If you remember the Bama-Ark game the Hogs dropped 8 defensive backs and Bama ran all over them. Try to get up to date on modern offenses. The days of 3 yards and a cloud of dust are gone.
Bama ran for 300 yards in a Playoff game last year.
How many yards did Tennessee run for in their Playoff game?
You add it to the 30 yards they ran against that pathetically coached Kirby defense and that works out to an impressive 165 yards per CFP game, Gabe. Congrats…
BY broke the SECCG record for passing yards and total yards against that UGA defense..
I can agree with pathetic coaching for them…
“But, but, but the rushing yds!”….
Lmfao….congrats on your discount outlet Nick Saban knowing how to load up at the LOS and key in on the QB after he had no WRs left to throw to Chump-stain. Let’s call the Packers and tell em Jawjuh has the 2nd coming of Vince Lombardi. Heck….call the CFB hall of fame and the Pro Football hall of fame.
How does it feel to know that I own you Chump-stain? How does it feel to know that I live oh so rent free in your little mind that you post comments at me when you’re talking to Florida fans?
Now….hop back into the tr@$h bin with the rest of your kind
“BY broke the SECCG record for passing yards and total yards”
Obvious to me Williams and Metchie broke the record, that’s a nice looking sec trophy
Metchie went out injured at half..
Obvious to me UGA got boat raced..
I don’t like to remember the Ohio st one but I do. It’s three l’s in natty.
Read it wrong. Ohio st still sucks.
What does the We Were Rebuilding Trophy look like?
A thrown cleat?
Thanks for the laugh
Well, it’s a golden 4 leaf clover with a little rabbits foot shackled to a little Leprechaun. lol
The best part for GA fans-beating Bama after the SECCG to win the Natty. 41 years, seven in a row, and then it happened. It’s not a rivalry if it stays one sided, right? TX A&M burst Saban’s assistant bubble, then Kirby took it a step further. Go Dawgs!!
Saban is also “The Goat” at motivation to his players. Nobody can do it better because nobody has won (or lost) as many NC’s as him. I expect a full recovery from the loss this season.
I hate to say it, but you’re right.
It all depends on the OC and DC. This year, Saban was probably inches from firing both of them..lol One score winners over LSU, AU, UF, an A&M loss to a freshman QB and a natty game humbling.. He sure motivated his back up’s who were playing in place of this starters in the natty game. lol. He called them unprepared, lazy…Hey coach! It’s your job to get them ready!
Vols fans are experts on being unprepared.
Florida seems to be collecting those since Urban the shocker Meyer left. I heard the Big Twelve was courting Florida.
It’s funny how all of a sudden Georgia fans have a voice….you should be thankful for Bama. Seeing how you have a Bama coach. You Georgia fans Crack me up
