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.
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?
lets hope when those folks at the Tuscaloosa Walmart smile for the camera they remembered that day to brush their tooth... j/k
I made the thread and I was rooting for Bama! I am not bitter but it seems sad that they are putting it in walmart.
Actually, if it makes anybody feel better, it sounds like it will actually be making a grand appearance in 2 different Wally Worlds.....
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.
I have nothing bad against Wal Mart just feel the trophy deserves alot better than a Wal-Mart. Its cool that they want there fans to see it tho.
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?
