Nixon went to the Texas-Arkansas game 50 years ago for a top-ranked matchup. This isn't the only comparison to Nixon that Trump has drawn.
President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the college football game between LSU and Alabama, ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively, in the country. The game has been dubbed"game of the century" for the second time this century.
That game was in the 100th year of college football, and Nixon went to declare the Longhorns as the national champions after their 15-14 win. That was the last all-white college football national championship team. President Donald Trump is presented with a team jersey while honoring the 2017 NCAA Football National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide during an event at the White House, on April 10, 2018 in Washington, DC. Alabama beat the Clemson Tigers 35-31 to capture the championship.Trump attending a"game of the century" in college football's 150th year is just one comparison to Nixon, also a Republican president, in their tenures as commanders-in-chief.
"Presumably a college football crowd in Alabama is going to be a friendlier audience and an audience that's kind of his base in that part of the country," University of Virginia associate professor of presidential studiesin The Hill."It is a college town, and if he gets booed at that game it sort of deepens the problem for him."
