SEC: The Alabama Idol

By Jessica Garrison - May 24, 2006

My sources report that Hoover native Taylor Hicks has won this year's American Idol title. While fans at Hoover Metropolitan stadium has yet to realize the news and break into utter pandemonium, the crowd has thinned out considerably after Alabama's loss. One can only suspect that the deflated Crimson Tide fans are taking some solace in their hometown-boy-made-Idol.

Oh, and Ole Miss gave Arkansas a quick two-run kick in the teeth to open the game. Bottom of the first, Ole Miss up 2-0.
