If there were a contest for Alabamian of the Year....I'd have to say its Troy King. Troy has stumbled a couple of times, and hasn't fallen down yet...so you got to give the guy credit.
Nah...Troy is much better suited for Hustler's "Asshole of the Month". If only they had an asshole of the year award.
