He's not bored with trophies -- he's just annoyed he has to put but with the ________ media asking stupid questions. He loves winning. Don't ever think any different.
Coach Saban bored with trophies

In my lifetime I never thought I would see the eleven year run from 1971 to 1981 equaled when we won 116 and lost 14 and had 3 NCs. This eight year run is at 99-12 and counting. This is truly amazing to me and I thought I had seen the best. It is hard to compare then to now but we are making this old man (who thought he had see the best we had) smile a lot.
The "big" ones provide 2 trophies - one for the school and one for the player. I am sure that Alabama has theirs on display.
Several of those photos were from the media events before the National Championship. I'm sure he was totally focused on winning the game and had that on his mind.
Have you ever been to one of the back rooms at the Bryant Museum? They have a lot of historical documents, posters, athletic yearbooks, newspaper articles, etc. back there. But most of all, they have an insane amount of trophies back there...trophies that other schools would give anything to have...and we have them stored in a room somewhere like they were a participation trophy from 6-year-old tee-ball.
I was there back in 2013 for a track & field alumni event so I was able to go into one of the back rooms to look at old stuff with my dad (1972 alumnus). Here is a picture I took of a small corner of that room.
That is the Capital One Bowl trophy from 2010 sitting next to the Independence Bowl trophy from 2007. There are other major trophies from major bowl games there, but I can't remember which ones those are.
So we have a spill over room now? wow. These would be the highlights of any Auburn museum.Have you ever been to one of the back rooms at the Bryant Museum?

I'm pretty sure there are a few spill-over rooms. Between all of our bowl wins, individual player awards, coaching awards, etc...there just isn't enough room in that building to show them all.
I'd reckon that we only display 25-30% of the trophies we have, because the "big" ones are so numerous that they're all we can display right now.
Just think back to 20-25 years ago and how a Citrus Bowl victory would have been a relatively big deal. Michigan State would love to have that trophy. We have it sitting in a back room on a computer desk...never seeing the light of day.
