Carleton Tinker — who is the father of Alabama Crimson Tide senior long-snapper Carson Tinker — has now come forward as the man who accidently broke Alabama’s 2011 BCS championship trophy.
"I'm not really sure how the thing fell off," Tinker said.
Carleton and his son, Carson, stood along with a few other people in the lobby of the Mal Moore Athletic Facility last Saturday admiring the Waterford crystal trophy that costs about $30,000.
