Well, if you thought Week 6 was just another Saturday in college football, think again. Hurricane Isaias is slicing through the South right now, just hours before the massive No. 2 Georgia versus No. 6 Alabama clash in Tuscaloosa. This isn’t just about football anymore, folks, and even President Donald Trump bailed on the game, announcing Friday he wouldn’t be making the trip to Tuscaloosa and would instead head to a political rally in Tennessee. The conditions will absolutely be a massive talking point, along with Kirby Smart’s notorious struggles against Alabama. Can you even imagine the intensity?
