Donald Trump to attend Alabama-Georgia national championship game

[trof]

Well, there will be a YUUUGE crowd there. And he'll take credit for drawing the crowd.

"Did you SEE that crowd? Biggest crowd in Super Bowl history. EVER! ALL loyal fans of mine. Go elephants! COVFEFE!"

We are seriously screwed as long as this fool is in office.

[NightWatcher]

1. Please tell me you are kidding.

Oh and good luck, but my dawgs will thrash your Tide.

[trof]

3. Roll Tide.

U of A class of '63.
Bear Bryant
Joe Namath
Heady days

Injuries and a too fast turn around have (I'm afraid) crippled us.

[former9thward]

22. Dream on...

[sarah FAILIN]

42. Injuries are serious..

Times are tough right now for the Tide. Jennings had surgery yesterdat

[kentuck]

2. Atlanta is not the rural South...

He may not get the reception he expects?

[MGKrebs]

34. That's what I was thinking.

He probably thinks these are 'his people'. Maybe some are, but a lot aren't.
On the other hand, apparently the CHEAPEST tickets are $2000 each, so there will be a lot of corporate schmucks there who, even if they dislike Trump, will not show it as he is helping them get richer.

[gademocrat7]

4. Oh no!

I dont want that orange buffoon polluting my hometown.

[Ilsa]

5. That's a shame. I hope there are no Trump hotels in Atlanta.

Maybe he will cut his visit short.

I'm surprised he wants to attend.

Go Dawgs.

[LisaM]

6. He doesn't have the attention span for a full game.

He'll probably show up, then (I hope) every player on both teams takes a knee during the anthem, he'll be booed, he'll immediately leave and starts Tweeting nonsense, and the game will go on.

Knowing him, he'll bring that fool Roy Moore along just to rankle Alabamans.

[CottonBear]

30. Hopefully, he'll be out of sight in a skybox.

What a bummer. This last year has been just awful and NOW 45 is gonna fuck up our game.

Hopefully, he'll leave at halftime.

[MGKrebs]

35. They were building a hotel with his name on it

back in 2007-2008, but the deal fell through with the financial crisis. They are building something else on that site now, apartments.

7. Samuel Jackson will be in attendance, hope for a profanity lace tirade directed at Trump.

Roy-ale with Cheese.

[kairos12]

20. If Jackson flew in on Air Force One

he could be screaming get these motherf....... snakes off this plane.

[CottonBear]

33. Fun fact: Samuel L. Jackson is from Chattanooga, TN!

8. It's not the Super Bowl

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. I caught that too, however,

it IS for the fans of bama and the dawgs.

[left-of-center2012]

10. And the rest of the country ...

... not so much.

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. I completely understand...

but here in 'bama, football is like a religion.

[CottonBear]

26. It's the same here in Georgia: college football is a religion!

😀🏈

[CottonBear]

14. It's BIGGER than the Super Bowl. It's the GA vs AL Natl Championship Game.🏈

Georgia is gonna win this battle of the two best teams in the SEC, which is the greatest college football conference in the United States of America.🏈 🇺🇸 🏈

This Georgia Dawg is here to tell you that UGA will be the College Football 🏈 National Champions!

Everyone in Athens, GA was celebrating this past Monday night. The fireworks and car horns and people yelling and cheering and the chapel bell ringing were amazing!

I love my university (proud UGA graduate 👩?🎓 and, goddamn it, I love my GA Bulldogs!

Goooooooooooo Dawgs! Sic 'em! Woof, woof, woof! 🇺🇸🏈🎆🎊🎆🏈🇺🇸

NO one here in Athens, that I talked to today, is happy that Dolt45 is coming to our game.

He can stay the fuck away. Athens is a blue town and Atlanta is a blue city.

[left-of-center2012]

15. It's HUGE !!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the best football game of any American Presidency!

Except maybe during Lincoln's administration.

[CottonBear]

25. LOL! Damn right! It's ENORMOUS!

Go Dawgs!

[maryellen99]

16. Hopefully he doesnt get too close to Uga

[CottonBear]

24. That is an historic UGA moment! What a Good Dawg!

That's just one of the reasons UGA was voted the nation's best college mascot by Sports Illustrated magazine!

[jalan48]

23. They played in one of the best Rose Bowls ever. I picked them in my pool to win it all.

[CottonBear]

27. The Rise Bowl Game was alternately terrifying and exhilarating!

That was some game.

[get the red out]

31. Should be a great game

Go SEC! (Kentucky fan here, our "holy season" is just getting seriously underway).

College towns are NOT necessarily red in the south for sure, which is why I think we will rid ourselves of the smarmy Andy Barr soon here in KY 6th.

I am sure Trump sees this as a shout out to his southern, evangelical base. He probably won't last past the first quarter.

[CottonBear]

32. Good luck voting Barr out of office!

Best wishes for a great basketball season!

Edit: I agree he'll be outta there before halftime. He's totally there to appeal to the white, male and conservative Southern upper class, fraternity boy, evangelical and good old boy voters.

[Ferrets are Cool]

41. It was ONE of the greatest football games ever played...

your Dawgs did good beating down Bakaaaah.

[CottonBear]

46. I think he was crying on the sidelines at the very end.

He did not expect to lose at all.

[MGKrebs]

36. Trump wouldn't know the difference.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. They should all take a knee to piss him off.

[struggle4progress]

17. +

[Scurrilous]

19. ...

[jmowreader]

12. Let me guess...

He's rooting for the Tigers.

(On edit: He's also going to sing the fight song for his favorite college:

Trump University, hats off to you!
To thy colors, Ochre and Alice Blue!
We shall ever be faithful and true!
Hail, Trump U! Hail!
Better we should be in jail!
Hail, Trump! Trump U!)

[CentralMass]

18. I hope that he gets mooned en masse.

[GulfCoast66]

21. My family helped form one SEC school in Alabama

My father went to LSU and worked there for 17 years and then worked at 2 other SEC schools. I was enrolled at LSU and graduated from UK.

I will love SEC football until football dies due to its destructive nature. And then I will miss it.

But Trump will be well received by the upper class latent and blatent racists who will be at that game.

The players, not so much.

[CottonBear]

29. Unfortunately, you are 100% correct about the upper class racists who will be in attendance.

Hopefully, Dolt45 won't ruin the game for the football players.

[trof]

44. Auburn or Alabama?

[GulfCoast66]

45. Alabama. The family settled a plantation around Tuscaloosa around the time of the war of 1812

Got the land for service in the revolutionary war. The land is now in Tuscaloosa.

My father was born there but moved to Louisiana when he was 3 in the early 1930’s. My grandfathers older brothers went to UA and one worked there at a high level until retirement The agriculture depression of the 20s and the Great Depression meant my grandfather could not go. He was always a huge fan and while proud of my dad never quite over him going to LSU.

I have only been twice. For the burial of my Grandfather and Grandmother in the family cemetery.

[thbobby]

28. All players should take a knee

during National Anthem. Also, hope the officials don't call any fake penalties.

[MGKrebs]

37. I hope we get his itinerary/route.

Excellent chance for a protest.

[CottonBear]

39. Hi there! How are you doing MG?

I hope all's well with you. Haven't seen you since our Athens, GA meetup.

A presidential motorcade route protest would be awesome! I can't make it due to work, school and Cub Scouts. But, I wish I could be.

[MGKrebs]

43. Hey CB! Good here.

Remarried now. Livin' the life.
Stickin' it to The Man.
Oh wait, I am The Man!

[MGKrebs]

38. "It could... make for a tense situation."

"About a year ago, Trump called the congressional district that sweeps through the heart of Atlanta a “crime infested” area that is in “horrible shape” after U.S. Rep. John Lewis said he planned to boycott Trump’s inauguration. And the halftime performer, Kendrick Lamar, is an outspoken critic of Trump."

40. His motorcade will pass right by the the Crown Plaza hotel. The one with lights on it saying F Trump
