    How very appropriate...the BCS Trophy heads to walmart...nice...

    Someone flip that sucker over and see if there is a "Made in China" sticker on the bottom of it...I know it says it is crystal but still...

    Mostly the irony I was referring to is that Texas is the home of Wal-Mart.
    But yeah, way to bring a touch of class to winning the BCS Alabama. :pity:

    I really don't see why people care about this... It gives Alabama fans a chance to see the trophy and get their picture taken with it. It's a convenience factor, IMO. Has Saban leaving this team made some of you this bitter or something?

    Honestly I think it's a valid knock.

    It's about the prestige of the BCStrophy being displayed inside of a discount retailor chain.

    They could find somewhere somewhat classy to display the trophy in Alabama couldn't they? Or is Walmart the Pinnacle of Alabamas infrastructure? LOL.

    I really doubt the only choices were WalMart and Bubbas Bait and Tackle and even if it was I'd rather have seen Bubbas bait and tackle chosen.

    I would bet there were funds exchanged for this move as well as a marketing deal for Wal Mart.

    Just cheapens the whole thing IMO.
    How about displaying the trophy downtown in a park or at a city hall?
    I think that's all people are saying and I personally agree.

    Why do people hate on Walmart?

    it is a store. it has good prices.

    so what if the dregs of society go there? WHo cares? I could care less who goes there.

    For Alabama, Wal Mart is perhaps as classy as it gets?

    Of course.

    Best price on Beer. You can pick up fishing gear at a great price as well. BBQ accessories. Buy a t-shirt.

    WHY WOULDN'T I or anybody else shop at Walmart?
