The big news out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is that President Donald Trump will not be attending the hotly anticipated Alabama and Georgia game this Saturday. This comes after multiple reports confirmed his non-attendance, all thanks to the looming threat of Hurricane Isaias.
Game Day Gets Wild Before Kickoff
Man, talk about a crazy lead-up to a game. Before the storm even fully hit, there were already big questions flying around about whether the Alabama and Georgia contest would even happen as scheduled, given Hurricane Isaias barreling down. On top of that, rumors were buzzing that President Trump was planning to be in Tuscaloosa for the game. And ESPN’s College GameDay? Yeah, that whole production had to move indoors because of the weather. It was a whole lot of chaos unfolding for one Saturday showdown.
Trump Calls It Off, Citing Weather
Ultimately, with a hurricane bearing down on Saturday, it just made sense. Multiple reports confirmed that President Trump isn’t going to make it to the game. He officially announced he wouldn’t be attending the Alabama and Georgia game in Tuscaloosa. It’s a bummer for anyone who hoped to see the presidential motorcade on campus, but safety first, right? Trump did add that he “will be visiting both of those teams at a later date,” so maybe he’ll catch a game another time.
So while the game day vibe is definitely different with the weather and Trump’s absence, the action on the field between Alabama and Georgia in Tuscaloosa is still on. We’ll be watching to see how the teams handle things amidst all this wildness.
