(MOBILE, Ala.) The University of Alabama has won its 15th national championship, and fans continued celebrations Tuesday.

Monday night, lines stretched out the door at Academy Sports, and fans tried to get their hands on that championship gear.

"Everybody's smiling having a good time. It definitely shows what happened last night," said Academy Sports Manager Daniel Quebedeaux.

The Crimson Tide crushed the Fighting Irish, taking home another National BCS Title for the second year in a row.

"I'm coming to get a national championship hat and shirt and support a great team that walked all over Notre Dame," Alabama Fan Daniel Loper said.

Alabama fans are packing local store to buy Crimson Tide gear to commemorate the historic year.

"We opened up at 6 o'clock this morning. We've had customers folding in and out all day," said Quebedeaux.

Kathy Dyess is one the many customers that went to Academy to shop.

"I'm shopping for number one-the championship t-shirt," said Dyess.

Dyess said shopping was so important, she even skipped work to celebrate.

"I took a personal day today to so I'm not a cheat," said Dyess.

With 15 national championships under Alabama's belt, fans are hoping they can do it all again next year.
