Crimson Politics

Saturday's Alabama-LSU game is turning into a all-politics event.
We already knew the president was planning to be in Tuscaloosa, and that has raised the possibility that Donald Trump could be booed at the game (which happened recently at an NFL game and a marshal- arts event). The school SGA issued a letter---later withdrawn--- threatening the students with losing their season seats if they boo the president. 

  • A go-fund-me effort quickly raised $5,000 to bring the Trump balloon to T-town for the game. 
  • U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-Ala) accepted an invitation to be on campus...now if newly announced candidate for Jones seat---former U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions also shows up???


Will Trump actually show? Will anyone at Bryan-Denny boo him? Will Sessions and Jones meet and boo each other?

Makes for great TV, as if the game itself wasn't enough.

Airing in Montgomery at 2:30, on CBS 8
 UPDATE: There wasn't much booing about the president, but no shortage of boo-hooing about the score. LSU won 46 - 41.
