Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton presented a Russian diplomatic contingent with a “re-set” button, signaling the dawning of a new era in American-Russian relations in which she and Obama would use their “smart power” to bring a thaw in relations between the 2 countries caused by that dunderhead Bush. Of course they were so much smarter than Bush, just like they are so much smarter than Trump, there was just one problem, the damn button didn’t say “re-set” in Russian, it said something else entirely, yeah, but I get it, this Marietta thing of course is far more serious, tsk, tsk.

By 1/1/80, Carter has lost his bid for a second term to Reagan, but did attend the title game in Nola. He was governor of GA pre-presidency, so it made sense. I don’t recall if the Bush(s), Clinton, or Obama attended the title games, but they’ve become such big events now, not a super bowl but bigger than at any time in the history of CFB, so I can see a sitting President attending the game.

I said I’ll do it but I’ve gotta be named ambassador to Tahiti. He came back with Luxembourg. I said no. Too cold.

To be fair no one from south of Macon, north of Gainesville, East of Athens or west of the Alabama State line really knows the geography of towns and suburbs of Atlanta, it’s all just “Atlanta”.
But for the leader of the free world or his handlers to try and fail so hard to call out a specific town in the metrocity when the correct answer is but a google search away is embarrassing.
That said, it certainly isn’t the first geographical mistake by a recent President Of The United States.

Folks were paying about $50 per ticket in the parking lot of the Rose Bowl, but consider that these people were by and large locals who just wanted to see any Rose Bowl.

“In Marietta, the President will attend the NCAA National Championship game.”
Aside from the facts that (1) the game is in Atlanta and (2) the NCAA isn’t involved, that’s spot on.
So, hells yeah, it’s funny.
Must be tough to have someone you love mocked. So much easier when it’s Trump doing the mocking, right?

Personally, I think it was deliberate that mention Marietta instead of Atlanta. Trump doesn’t like Atlanta. In fact he tweeted
“Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to……mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!”
Mercedes Benz sits smack dab in the middle of district that is falling apart. In his petty mind and the petty mind of those in his administration, it is a loss if they mention him visiting Atlanta because if Trump is visiting the beautiful new arena in the middle of Atlanta it diminishes his earlier statements about the city.

As for why today — actually, yesterday — it was an amused reaction to an announcement riddled with mistakes.
