Only in Alabama

A friend and coworker of mine posted a tweet on twitter about the Coaches' Trophy being on display this weekend at two area Walmarts. I thought you have got to be kidding me, but here is the media release:

MEDIA ALERT FOR FRIDAY, JANUARY 8

Only in Alabama would you find this happening. Other places would do something crazy like have it on display at the university or a hall of fame. No not in Alabama. We display it at Walmart. I would love to go out there and see the huge crowd of people you know who will show up to see it. I was hoping this was a joke but it has been confirmed as true. I know everyone is excited but couldn't they have picked another location to display it.
