Still not officially confirmed by the White House, there are still several reports indicating President Donald Trump will attend the Alabama-Georgia CFP national championship game Monday in Atlanta.
To say that appearance is rare would be an understatement. Outside of traditional visits to the Army-Navy game, sitting presidents aren't known for attending college football games.
The national championship game? Even further from the norm.
Alabama players had a variety of reactions to the news. "It's pretty cool," said offensive lineman Ross Pierschbacher. "I'd be interested see where he's sitting. It's just cool to think that of all the people who are going to be here, and the halftime performers, it shows the magnitude of the game."
Others were surprised when asked for reaction. "The president? I didn't hear that. That's crazy," a smiling Cam Sims said. "I didn't know the president was going to be there but that's kinda great the president would be there."
Ronnie Harrison was more confused by it all. "He's going to be at what game?" he said. "The president? Why?"
Sims was also perplexed by it all.
"I just thought the president, I don't know," he said, "I didn't think the president would watch football and stuff like that."
I'll probably get a lot of flaming for that point of view.
Let all the fans in, and get them seated...do the pre-game festivities, and then Trump lands in the middle of the field in Marine-one, and goes to his seat...let the games begin.
He’s the President. As long as it’s legal, he should go anywhere that he is interested in going.
Drive-by Media to interview one of the players wearing a Black Lives Matter label pin who’ll say that Trump is an evil racist bigot and will be prominently featured in 20 point Arial Black font on the Washington Post 3...2...1...
MAGA. Thanks where's_the_Outrage?.
He wants to be there to be on the lookout for ‘kneelers’..
Looks like reporters went fishing for some player to trash Trump and spout BLM nonsense and came up short.
which side?

Ticket prices just went up!
This might turn into a massive Trump Rally!
Cool scenario, as long as he gets to noogie Saban.
I expect the game to have a record breaking crowd for the stadium, how many fans will not be able to get in because of the impact of presidential attendance?
If addition, there will enhanced (aggressive) entrance screening.
That being said I think his attendance at the Army Navy game was the right thing to do.
Trump as ceiling cat for a night
“The White House has not confirmed. I kind of hope that Trump does not go as his presence will impact accessibility. By being there the fans will experience a lot of inconvenience, they are coming for the game, not Trump”.
I agree 100%.
The President knows that and he will probably not disrupt the game. It would not be a smart move and he knows it.
100%
Having said that, though, it just may of been his way of saying he hopes Georgia wins the game because there's just no way Alabama should even be there in the first place.
(Ducking and running)
“(Ducking and running)”
Agreed, he should have gone to the UCF 2017 National Championship game!
(Ducking and running faster)...
I look forward to seeing Bama win. Roll Tide!
If just the First Lady showed up, those college guys would drool and become jelly-like.
Alabama not there? That is crazy talk, man.
