Breitbart ^ | 1-12-2019 | Dylan Gwinn

While most of President Trump’s Twitter followers have been scanning his timeline expecting to find the latest information regarding the government shutdown. On Friday afternoon, the more than 57 million people who follow the president got a far more light-hearted update.

Fresh off their stunning victory over the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, President Trump announced that he will host the National Champion Clemson Tigers at the White House on Monday.

President Trump will honor the Tigers and pay tribute to their championship season. A season that was capped-off by a shocking 44-16 demolition of Alabama.

I have never seen an Alabama football team so completely defeated. I have to stop watching the game highlights replay out of embarrassment.

As a die hard Bama fan, nothing but congrats to Clemson - we were out coached, outplayed, and slapped around by the best team in the country that night.
And watching some of the pre-game stuff on SEC network, I earned a new respect for Dabo.

Now, saying that, I'm still proud of the Tide!!! (except for our kicker. Here's hoping he's a senior)

Because he was a poor lead blocker on the fake FG attempt?

Big Media will now give headlines to anyone who can’t/won’t make it.

FO Big Media, as always!

I went to bed just before half time. I couldn’t get the game so was listening on the radio. When I awoke the next morning I was surprised by the score. Also surprised that people were saying Clemson won it easily.

I am a long time Bama fan but for some reason was pulling for Clemson. I even predicted a Clemson win.

The Alabama coaching would have looked a lot better if Saban didn’t didn’t start making desperation calls in the second quarter. He knew his team was in trouble.

Nick Saban Needs To Evaluate Staff After Bad Play-Calling Dooms Tide In Blowout Loss

"Years of having his coaching staff raided finally came to a head for Nick Saban in his worst loss as Alabama’s head coach."

"But, perhaps most surprising, was just how thoroughly outclassed Alabama was in the coaching department. Alabama made the kind of misguided coaching decisions you never see under Saban. It served as a reminder of how difficult it is to replace your offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator seemingly every year."

LOL at blaming the kicker for a 28 point defeat.

Both Clemson's coach and quarterback gave praise and thanks to their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (though I don't remember their exact words) several times in their immediate post-game interviews. The leftist media probably scrubbed those phrases out of any replay.

Maybe he could react like the Alabama fans that sent the kicker death threats after the Iron Bowl a few years back. “If he wudda made those 10 field goals we wudda won.”

No, because ALL season, he hasn't been able to kick a field goal. Of around 38,000 students on campus, I would think at least one would be able to walk on and kick the ball.
