Auburn's national championship football team's trip to the White House has been canceled. We don't yet know why. The team was scheduled to leave tonight and visit the White House and President Obama on Friday.

Obama too busy forging birth certificates?

Fucked up, that's all I have to say about it.

The team was probably going to attempt an assassination.

The FBI informed the WH that they found evidence linking AU to the dog track and that the hammer is about to fall. SO the WH will just wait till the NCAA takes away the NC and Heisman. That is also why Rocker left.

...OR...declaring a state of emergency here in our state.

I hope the trip isn't actually cancelled, but rather postponed.

He should be here now. Otherwise BARACK OBAMA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE.

From what I heard on the XM Channel 143 College Sports deal this morning, it was a mutually agreed upon postponement (with no announced make up date) and that Obama will be coming to Alabama on Friday to view the damage.

Reported on Reuters as well (the Obama visit part anyway).

Plans to plant Toomerâ€™s Oaks sapling on U.S. Capitol lawn postponed
Written by Jeremy HendersonFootball, SportsApr 28, 2011

A sapling from the Toomerâ€™s oak trees will be planted on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol.
It just wonâ€™t be tomorrow.

A planting ceremony planned by Congressman Dennis Ross (R-FL), a 1981 Auburn graduate, to coincide with the Auburn football teamâ€™s now canceled trip to the White House has been delayed â€œprobably until next week,â€ said Rossâ€™ Chief of Staff Fred Piccolo.

â€œWeâ€™ve been working on it about two months trying to see if the Architect of the Capitol would give his OK to plant a Toomerâ€™s oak,â€ Piccolo said. â€œHe recently gave his authorization.â€

The plan may have had some inside help; David Ferguson, the Chief Administrative Officer for the Architect of the Capitol, graduated from Auburn in 1974. Picollo said Ferguson personally received the sapling when it arrived at Dulles International Airport last Friday.

â€œWe were going to have a little ceremony with people digging the shovels in and that good stuff,â€ Piccolo said â€œIâ€™m not sure if there will be a marker or plaque, but if there isnâ€™t I know the congressman would like to put one there.â€

Piccolo said the three-foot tree will likely be planted on the Capitolâ€™s south lawn.

Is that when Thor's hammer will hit AU?

It's coming. That is why they postponed the trip.

The NCAA now has Thor's hammer and it is being aimed at AU. It will be announced on their visit to the WH. Mark my words.......

Obama: I want to congratulate you guys on winning the MNC...oh, and by the way, the NCAA asked me to hand you this.

WASHINGTON -- The Auburn football team's visit with President Barack Obama, postponed because of the April 27 tornadoes, has been rescheduled for 2 p.m. (CDT) June 8.

Obama, like presidents before him, honors top professional and collegiate teams in brief but festive White House visits, including last year with the University of Alabama Crimson Tide.

The Auburn visit will include a community service activity during which team members will meet with Washington area students, the White House announced today.

I like this better, so Cam/Fairley/Ziema, etc. can be there.

You don't believe that crap do you? I have sources in the FBI says it is so bad that the WH wants EVERY member of that team in DC when they announce it.
It will be the most devastating news these guys will ever hear.

But on the bright side, each person there will have the opportunity to adopt a greyhound as a pet.

This is all common knowledge at the FBI........

Thank goodness!
I am ready for all of this acting like we did nothing wrong to be over. Any word on what time the president will be lowering the boom with the sanctions?

We can watch Obama drop the hammer LIVE at 2pm CST:

According to the Official White House web site, 3pm eastern. Today is the first day I've accessed the site, but it appears you can stream it. And they also have old clips you can download.

Sucks that I'm in DC, but can't get over to see it (not that I could get into the White House), but would be neat to see if any Auburn Alums have signs out for the buses.

Did they let McGregor out of court today so he can join in the festivities?
