Get on this, all y'all.

The former president has routinely attended high-profile college football games over the past few years. Most recently, Trump was present for Clemson-South Carolina last November.
Georgia vs. Alabama is one of the most highly-anticipated games on the entire SEC schedule this fall. Both the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide are undefeated this weekend heading into what will be a top-5 matchup in Tuscaloosa.
Georgia will be hoping to shake off a lackluster offensive performance against Kentucky in Week 3. Alabama will be playing in its first SEC game with new head coach Kalen DeBoer calling the shots.
Even with Nick Saban retired, there’s a plenty of history between these 2 programs. Alabama is responsible for the only 2 losses Georgia has sustained since the start of the 2021 season. The Bulldogs are 45-2 over this span, with the only 2 defeats coming to the Tide in the 2021 and 2023 SEC Championship Games.
Alabama has won 8 of the last 9 meetings in this series. Georgia will be looking for its first win in Tuscaloosa since 2007.
Getting in to MBS before the 2018 Natty against UGA, when Trump was there, was the worst experience I’ve had at a sporting event. Pure chaos and the security was absurd, plus the rain and freezing
At least there’s no tall buildings to worry about in Tuscaloosa.
Trump will supervise the passing of the torch from Pac 12 Alabama or choking Georgia to the Vols.
Good to hear from you kid. Post a lot now because we all know you’ll delete this profile soon.
