Shaquille O’Neal has officially declined requests to come to this weekend’s Alabama-LSU game.
Over the past few weeks, LessThanUThink, an organization at the University of Alabama that works against binge drinking, ran a Twitter campaign to get Shaq on campus using the hashtag #GetShaq2UA.
The campaign works with The Century Council, the same group that O’Neal recently partnered with to fight binge drinking on college campuses.
O’Neal replied Wednesday with the tweet:
“@LTUThink – I’m coming to ‘Bama to tape the spot re: binge drinking but not til 2012. Will u wait 4 me?”
Emily Diab, media coordinator for LTUT, said the organization hopes to have O’Neal attend a basketball game in the spring to film a public service announcement.
She said the spot will likely be filmed in front of Coleman Coliseum.
