Tua Has 405 Family Members, Yes Four Hundred And Five Members Of His Family, Coming To The National Championship Game

AL.com – You know how everyone has been making a big deal the last few days about the inconvenience of this national championship game for fans of Alabama and Clemson? Heard the narrative that local interest in the Bay Area is non-existent? Yeah, those things aren’t entirely true.

People are buying tickets, and many of them are related to Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

At last count, the number of Tua’s extended family attending the game was at 405.

You read that correctly: Four-hundred and five people, according to one member of the family helping to organize travel and logistics. And the number is expected to grow.

I think I have like 9 family members and 4 friends.  I think if you asked me to name everyone I know I could get to like 70.  There are employees of Barstool Sports on the second floor that I do not know who they are.  It’s gotten to the point that I just head nod anyone who walks into the building or is in a 1 block radius of the building.  Tua has four hundred and five: not friends, not people he knows, not co-workers, but actual family members.  Four hundred and five.

Tua has an enormous family. Father Galu is the oldest of nine siblings. Mom Diane is the oldest of 10. Many of their siblings have large families as well. Most of them are going to the game.

That is an absolute fuck ton of family members.
