I had friends who are TN fans and they were very complimentary of the team for the way they represented themselves and the University!

Class!!!!! Roll Tide Roll!!!!

I understand that they asked the President if they could pray with him. Apparently he agreed and they had a group prayer.
Couldn't be prouder of our Crimson Tiders.

We will try leaving this here and see if our members can follow the rules and keep politics off the football board. In fact, there will be suspensions forthcoming for doing it. If that proves to be impossible, then we'll close the thread...

Actually it was JK that did. As awesome as he was on the field he's even BETTER off the field. There aren't many like him. We will miss him in more ways than one. His goal in everything he does is to bring glory to God. He has definitely done that!

Proud to see the team show respect to the office by understanding the honor and privilege it is to be invited. Looks as though they had a great time and represented the university well.

They will be able to tell their kids about the time they visited the White House and met the president. Good stuff.

A very proud moment for this life-long Bama fan. Looking forward to a repeat performance next spring as well. #RTRNC18

I’m just glad these young men avoided having a predatory news cycle focused down on them. I could not care less if they said something that would get the usual suspects riled up. It is still a once in a lifetime (usually) opportunity regardless of what some feel about the President.

Sorry, but when I read the thread title, I heard the Tom Hanks Gump voice saying, "I went to the White House, again and met the president, again."

Proud of the guys for getting to go, again.

But so many of them had never been, and they were very excited. Now, maybe it was a day away from practice and the usual grind. Regardless they were happy to be there. I can't remember from previous years, but the airplane was full..... lots of walk-ons and staff that normally doesn't get to travel. It was really a treat and one that most everyone from top to bottom was included in.

I will share there was one person that worked most all the way coming and going. Wanna guess who that was? :wink:

Good job.

As far as I'm concerned, you're a team member and ought to get the jewelry that comes with it...:)

Good for you.
Any time you have a sport in which 99% of the players rotate out within 5 years, and many rotate out within 3 years, there will be many who were not there the last time.
I've got a feeling that many will go back for a repeat visit within the next year or two.

I was so proud of the way Saban handled this, and even more proud to hear of the team circling the President to pray for him. That is just downright class. I could not be more proud to be a Bama fan.
