Some Tigers Playing it Safe this Season

August 25, 2021 by Rock M Nation Leave a Comment


Mizzou News for Wednesday, August 25

[Insert Shruggie Emoji Here]

Notice I said some in the headline. And to be clear, it’s not the Tigers of the Mizzou variety. It’s those gross purple & gold ones, of Louisiana State University. I don’t like those Tigers, y’all, but alas—they are doing what is safe for all by announcing that if you aren’t providing your proof of vaccination, you must show a negative Covid test within 72 hours of game day in order to gain admittance to their stadium.

THIS JUST IN:

LSU will require all fans to provide proof of COVID vaccination or a false test within the past 72 hours to enter Tiger Stadium this season #LSU #CFB #COVID pic.twitter.com/dbcaTkmF64

Gabe checked in with PowerMizzou in light of the news…

In light of LSU requiring proof of vaccination or negative COVID test to attend football games I asked for an update on policies from #Mizzou.

No current plans to implement that policy, but they expect unvaccinated fans to wear masks and encourage them for all in crowded areas.

Well… that isn’t great. Especially considering that all over twitter was news of Mizzou not actually enforcing their supposed “mask mandate” on campus in buildings, so excuse me if I don’t have much faith in this “system.” At least they are encouraging people to get vaccinated. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I am at the point where I don’t expect a lot of people to do anything these days for the good of others. ¯_(ツ)_/¯


Moving on to more positive matters…

Drink appeared on the Marty & McGee on Tuesday afternoon, and told a great little story about his phone tag with THE Nick Saban.

  • Ahead of the NFL season, more cuts have been made to rosters, and more Tigers have been waived. Just a few days after Walter Palmore was signed by the Panthers, he was released. What exactly was the point in signing him, then? The Texans waived Paul Adams and Tucker McCann. Sad faces all around.
  • I SPY with my two eyes… Tilly back on Mizzou Arena’s court. Per his IG stories:
