President Donald Trump cancels plans to attend Georgia vs. Alabama due to Hurricane Isaias

Trump was originally going to be Bryant-Denny Stadium for the SEC showdown Hurricanes Isaias has affected travel plans around the country, and that includes President Donald Trump. Originally, Trump planned to be in attendance when No. 2 Georgia faced No. 6 Alabama in Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday, but the Tuscaloosa Police Department told AL.com that he scrapped the trip due to the impending storm. Trump has attended several Alabama football games throughout his tenure, and he's friendly with legendary coach Nick Saban, who has expressed support for Trump as it pertains to the Protect College Sports Act. In 2018, Trump made the trip down to Atlanta for the College Playoff National Championship, which the Crimson Tide won due to overtime heroics from Tua Tagovailoa.
The next year, in 2019, Trump was at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the shootout that was LSU vs. Alabama. While weather may have nixed this trip, Trump has gotten to watch a little college football in person this season. He was in Knoxville just two weeks ago when Texas triumphed over Tennessee, 20-17. For the moment, Hurricanes Isaias isn't expected to change much about the game itself. Both teams are planning to play on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa as scheduled, but the SEC is monitoring the storm and the kickoff time could be altered slightly. The storm
