Alabama Governor not attending NCG

[Johndunc 33]

What a slap in the face, I bet if Bama was playing he could find time to attend. He has stated he might be too busy.I have always said that time is relevant ,you do what you want to do, and excuses are like,we'll you know!

[Johndunc 33]

Bet he finds time for the Sugar Bowl.

Bentley needs to have "game face" ON for that Boeing contract - this State needs it. IMHO, his time would be better served pukering up his lips to the Boeing folks, Auburn will do just fine without him.

AU doesn't need him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's still up in the air whether ALA needs him..........

I prefer that all crimpsum turd fans stay away. I don't want them to proclaim they want us to win, etc..

[BeasFan 3]

I can't think of a good reason for him to be re-elected.

One less chance for an Alabama politician to embarrass the state on a national stage, yet again. Go with it.

Is there some reason I should be mad about my tax dollars not subsidizing a trip to Pasadena? I got no issues with this.

He makes me think of Lou Holzth.

[penguin149 391]

He makes me think of the old preacher in Poltergeist 2.

[au1duke 12]

No need for any bammers to be there. Like all politicians he needs to focus on the people and not his own personal agenda.

[VA Tiger 0]

Did he go to the last two?

Living in VA, I don't have time to worry with an Alabama Governor, we have enough problems with the Felons and Nazis vying for ours...

You can find his tickets on StubHub.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama --- Gov. Robert Bentley said Monday he was undecided on whether he would attend the BCS National Championship game between Auburn and Florida State.

Alabama is competing for a Boeing 777X aircraft plant. The governor said economic development projects could make it difficult for him to get away for the trip to the game, which will be Jan. 6 in Pasadena, Calif.

“The fifth year in a row that we have an Alabama team, I think it’s very exciting,” said Bentley, who is an Alabama graduate and Crimson Tide fan. “It’s an honor for either Alabama or Auburn, whichever one represents the state, it’s great. So I’m very proud of them. They’ve done a fantastic job.”

Alabama won the BCS title in 2009, 2011 and 2012, while Auburn won in 2010.

The most powerful person in Alabama will be in attendance though. The new sheriff in town will be wearing a visor.

Yep, just what we need, a bammer feigning support at the MNC game.

Did he go to either of the last two with bama? I don't recall him at either one.
