TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – There are few spectacles in American sports that match the pageantry, buzz and emotion of a high-level SEC football game. For college football in 2019, there’s no bigger event in the sport’s regular season than No. 2 LSU visiting No. 3 Alabama on Saturday, bitter and age-old rivals with enough storylines for a Netflix series.
The wondrous circus that would normally accompany an event of this magnitude will only be accentuated by a visit from the president. Donald Trump announced he will be attending the game at Bryant-Denny Stadium, sending the university and town into a tizzy.
