President Donald Trump is expected to attend the College Football Playoff championship game between LSU and Clemson in New Orleans on Jan. 13, Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger confirmed.
The Advocate's Elizabeth Crisp was first to report the news.
The decision comes less than a week after Trump called LSU coach Ed Orgeron following the Tigers' victory over Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff semifinal.
"I was very honored to get a call from President Trump," Orgeron said on Tuesday of the call. "He was very pleasant to talk to. Very complimentary of our football team, our coaching staff. Complimentary of the way the state of Louisiana has rallied around us. Was complimentary of the way we played all year and wished us good luck in the game."
As Dellenger noted earlier this week, Trump, LSU and Louisiana have been interconnected in a variety of ways. He has already attended an LSU game this season, watching the Tigers upset Alabama in November from a midfield suite at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
During a radio appearance, Trump discussed LSU's Heisman Trophy–winning quarterback, Joe Burrow. Plus, Louisiana is a strong base for the president. He received 58% of the vote in the 2016 presidential election, obtaining more individual votes than any previous candidate on a Louisiana ballot.

What is this the 40th football game he’s attended as POTUS? If Obama did this he would be tarred and feathered on here

Might want to get in line the night before at this point, going to be a shite show. If you are dark complexioned and have a beard or have been to Halal guys recently, prepare for a cavity search.

If he really wants to have fun, he should hang out at Bar eating gumbo while watching the game on TV with a few hundred fans. Too much good food down there not to enjoy it on a short trip.

Doesn’t matter to me, but for the safety of all of the other fans, should he stay home?

Can’t wait to navigate that traffic. Fantastic. Looks like I’ll be in the quarter much earlier than anticipated

Good thing the Presidential Motor Cade is not headed to Tiger Stadium or my brethren would rock the limo.

That's awesome. To have the president there, that's really cool

If Trump posted here he would make even the worst rantards sound intelligent.
"Listen.... I know football. No one is as qualified as me when it comes to this game... And this LSU team... I tell you... They can play"
