I was hoping some other would post a comment about Trump and his upcoming commencement speech on May 13th at LU and the impact it will have. My guess since no one has made a post, most feel it is a regrettable choice.

JFJr, like Sr. seems unable not to be tempted to bring LU into the political fray. With the Washington Post* reporting yesterday, http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017...ech-to-f/, that protest are planned at LU, and a Sea of Red stating the FBS schedule will be released at the same time, we get a mesh of sports and politics literally on the same stage. Granted one point can be made that anytime a sitting POTUS comes to LU there will be a benefit. And on the opposite side, one can state what a truly stupid action it is. Some where between the two extremes is the reality.

Question 1. Why would JFJr. choose to ally himself with Trump with his groping of women comment, his mocking of the disabled, and now the statement of FBI Director Comey being fired to stop the investigation of White House interference?

Question 2. And as a supporter of LU athletics, why would the announcement of the FBS schedule, which is a very big deal. Maybe even one of the top and most important announcements regarding LU football, be at the same event that is now a political firecracker?

One can say the invitation was made prior to the current firestorm. The point can also be made that one could expect a controversy surrounding Trump as controversies have followed him since his announcement as a candidate for the Republican Party.

It's crazy actions and choices like this by Jr. and Sr. that have alienated many against LU. It divides rather than unites. In many ways it's the exact opposite of what "the mission" that is stated in LU's slogan. It's another example of how being a LU fan causes one to run the gamut from excitement and joy when achieving FBS to truly wonderment and unbelievability with the Trump alignment.

LU is very fortunate to have received an indy bid. It is a very small band of LU peers who would want to in bed with LU on this one as one who shares agreement in Trump's actions, beliefs and falsehoods. And combining the Trump speech with the FBS schedule announcement, LU is not only in the bed with Trump, but now under the sheets together.
