College football is becoming a battle ground for politics ahead of the 2024 United States Presidential Election. The Democrats are flying banners over games to attack Project 2025 and Republican nominee Donald Trump. Trump himself reportedly plans to attend the game of year taking place this weekend in Tuscaloosa: No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs vs. No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide.......
Here’s a transcription of DeBoer’s quote:
I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of celebrity type people here, people who want to be a part of what’s happening on game day. Everyone is going to be watching, so it will be great to have everyone who wants to come watch be here. For us, I told the guys with GameDay and everything coming here as well, for the guys to try to take as much off their plate other than maybe a few extra interviews towards the end of the week, the main thing is they get prepared to play the best football game they’ve played this year, I always challenge them to play the best football game they’ve ever played in their career. That’s what matters when it comes down to what we can control. It is kind of cool that we have a lot of people who want to come be part of the atmosphere and add to the excitement and energy that the game will bring......
DeBoer’s answer feels like the smartest possible way to answer this question in public. He was put in a no-win situation, and barrel rolled out of it like Star Fox.
Alabama-Georgia is going to be electric. Let’s keep the focus on the football field.

What was the question?
Cake & circuses.
Nixon at the 1969 Texas-Arkansas Game.

Apparently Paterno was upset Nixon didn’t go to watch Penn State.
But I’ll be wearing my hairshirt while watching, and posting based takes on Twitter.
Coach DeBoer was asked what his thoughts were about Pres Trump attending the upcoming game.
Kamala wouldn’t dare to show up.
Was really ironic. Nixon came into the booth and talked football with play by play man Chris Schenkel, who was the voice of the infamous “daisy ad” that had Goldwater nuking little girls.
That’s bread and circuses
You’ll never see anything like that again.
Kalen is my wife’s first cousin. Most of the family is religious and conservative. I’ve seen him at family gatherings since he was a kid and I can attest that he has always been smart, wise and focused. His response is classic Kalen to focus on what is important and let the rest fall to the side.
Roll Tide! I think Kalen was a great hire for Alabama. Like Coach Saban, he comes from very humble beginnings and is an excellent leader of young men.
Thanks so much for the info.
I was aware that he is a native of South Dakota, so I had a feeling that he would lean conservative. Your post makes me happy.
Bama fans are very happy that he was chosen to follow Coach Saban. Coach DeBoer seems like a good, honest guy.
I think Bama is going to spank Georgia.
I’m the nervous type, but I have a good feeling about this game.
I’m happy that we are underdogs. Bama usually performs best as underdogs.
Roll Tide...
Here’s hoping you are wrong. Go Dawgs!!
You're right. Lol. I was thinking "Let them eat cake". Thanks for the correction.
