nowBuzz up!Even if you weren’t one of the fortunate few to witness Auburn’s BCS National Championship victory firsthand, there’s still an opportunity to see the fruit of the Tigers’ labor up close.
Starting Friday, the Coaches’ Trophy will be on display at area Walmart locations for thousands of Tiger faithful to enjoy. Fans will also have the opportunity to get a free picture with the crystal football.
Jerrod Woodham, a shift manager at the Auburn Walmart, said he expects about a thousand Tiger fans to show up Sunday when the trophy comes to Auburn.
“You’d think the fan base would really come out,” he said.
Woodham said the trophy, which will be set up near the store’s apparel section, will be closely guarded by Walmart’s loss-prevention personnel. He said the store is also working on securing the services of local police officers for the event.
While the trophy will enjoy a blanket of protection when it’s on display, it will also be in good hands while it’s in transit.
“It’s in a very safe traveling case,” said Charley Green, trophy manager for BreakAway Sports Marketing. “We’ve never had a problem with it being shipped or flown around. We’ll make it sure gets back to Auburn in great condition.”
The 45-pound, 34-inch trophy — valued at $30,000 — is the same one that was hoisted by head coach Gene Chizik and the Auburn players following Monday’s 22-19 victory over Oregon. A new trophy is made for the winning team each year.
Auburn University spokesman Bob Grant said he wasn’t sure when the school would receive the trophy. However, Green said it would be on its way home after Sunday’s Walmart visit.
“It’ll probably be in their hands by Monday,” he said.
WAR DAYUM POSSUM!!!!!
