Thanks for the link, BigAl.

An excellent article, indeed!

It stated that procedes from the first Rose Bowl game were used to start what is not Bryant-Denny Stadium. So, that makes BDS somewhat of a trophy for that game.

I think that is a neat way to look at BDS... a trophy.

From the article:

"The 1926 Rose Bowl was important to the University of Alabama for a number of reasons. It was the team’s first of 30 bowl wins and 12 national championships.

The proceeds from the bowl game were used to construct what is now known as Bryant-Denny Stadium."

Well how about that.
