LSUDad Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 President Trump Plans to Attend LSU at Alabama Showdown byChristopher Walsh 1 hr-edited Alabama vs. LSU, No. 1 vs. No. 2, just got a little bigger as the President of the United States is planning to attend TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — BamaCentral has learned that the University of Alabama is making preparations for President Donald Trump to attend the LSU game at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday. Alabama officials could not be reached to confirm or deny, but sources have confirmed his expected visit. The potential No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup, depending on the initial rankings by the College Football Playoff committee Tuesday night, will be shown on CBS at 2:30p.m. CT. The high-profile game was already attracting a lot of attention, including ESPN's pregame show "College Gameday." However, the stage had to be moved due to security concerns, from the Walk of Champions just outside the stadium to the Quad. The President attended the National Championship Game in Atlanta at the end of the 2017 season. He left at halftime, with the Crimson Tide losing, before Alabama came back to defeat Georgia in overtime, 26-23. He was on the field for the National Anthem and sat in a private box behind the Alabama sideline. The president departed the stadium during halftime when Georgia led Alabama 13-0. “It was truly a win for the ages,” Trump said when Alabama later visited the White House on April 10. “I don’t know if you know, but I was there.” He added: “It will go down as one of the most exciting finishes in college football history — of any sport.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
