President Donald Trump says he won't attend Georgia vs. Alabama because of Hurricane Isaias
Trump was set to attend his second college football game in three weeks.
In a social media post, President Donald Trump has announced that he will not be attending Alabama's game against Georgia due to Hurricane Isaias. The president stated that he will visit both teams at a later time instead. The game between the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs, which is the top-10 matchup of Week 6 and a rematch of the 2025 SEC championship game, is scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. CT kickoff.
However, the storm is expected to make landfall on the Gulf Coast on Friday evening, potentially affecting the two states along with Georgia. These states have declared states of emergency, and National Guard members have been deployed to the areas projected to be affected. Alabama has restricted tailgating until Noon CT, and tents will not be allowed.
ESPN's College GameDay will broadcast the game from inside Coleman Coliseum. Tuscaloosa is approximately 200 miles from the Gulf of Mexico.
