“Not A Noon Kickoff Guy”: College Football Fans Praise Donald Trump For Not Attending Ohio State Buckeyes And Penn State Nittany Lions Game

The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Penn State Nittany Lions will be one of the biggest college football games of the season on Saturday with kickoff scheduled for NOON on FOX. Ohio State is the fourth-ranked team in the country and Penn State is the third-ranked team in the country.

One of the biggest announcements about this matchup is that Donald Trump will no longer attend the Ohio State and Penn State game, according to the Centre Daily Times. Penn State spokesperson Wyatt Dubois said in an email:

“The University has been notified that former President Donald Trump will no longer be attending the Ohio State-Penn State football game.”

This is interesting because Election Day is this Tuesday, November 5. He wants to focus on winning the Election over Kamala Harris.

There were college football fans who thought it was smart for Donald Trump to not attend the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions game on Saturday afternoon. Here is what some of them said on Twitter:

These are certainly mixed reactions to Trump not going to the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions game. This will also be the second time this year that Ohio State heads to a hostile environment since playing the Oregon Ducks a few weeks ago.

Donald Trump attended other football games earlier this season. He attended the Georgia Bulldogs and the Alabama Crimson Tide at the end of September and he also attended a Pittsburgh Steelers game earlier this NFL season.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the Ohio State Buckeyes and Penn State Nittany Lions game even without Donald Trump in the stands. Donald Trump is more focused on trying to win the state of Pennsylvania and other battleground states to get back into the White House.
