You and me not taking the shot is an option. The players can't afford to have that choice. With the physical contact they have with each other and opponents, it would be idiotic of them to not take it. If they don't want to take it, they should opt out.

- Limited opportunities to contract or pass on the virus
- Survival rate of 9,999/10,000 if they contract it.
- Personal quarantine

- Doesn't get vaccinated
- Will be in close physical contact with others on a daily basis
- Probably 1,000X more apt to pass it on than someone in the general public
- Survival rate of 9,999/10,000 if they contract it

- Infection will most probably result in games being forfeited

Two things if you cant play you forfeit the game
Secondly aren't kids who are vaccinated less likely to be excluded for contact tracing based on the NCAA rules. If that is the case wouldn't him telling his team to take the shot be what is best for the team.
Isn't that his job...To do what is best for the team.
"the team" ?--what about best for the individual---I thought he was like a "father away from home figure"--
This intrusion on our rights--where does it end ?
Whats next ?
....and the jury is still out on if it will best for the team
Healthcare workers around the world are refusing and scared to take it -----feared enough that they are getting fired for not taking it
If you are more likely to get suspended via contact tracing if you take the shot than if you don't...Isn't it obvious what is best for the team.
Intrusion on rights.
Noise ordinances are an intrusion on rights...Are you against those.
Would you have an issue with your neighbor playing loud music all hours of the night. Don't like it...Move.
What rights are Ok to restrict and which ones are not.
Seatbelts?
Carseats?
Smoking Bans?

A perfectly extraordinary and exhilarating way to spend three hours or so on a weekend day!
My goodness - all for the low, low price of $60. Pony up ya cheap bast**ds. The Tigers are home!
While all of that is true and I share your enthusiasm, the fact is that we rarely put more than 40,000-45,000 in the stadium. Even recently for Ole Miss and UCLA we were at around 45,000.
All I'm saying is that due to the current landscape, it would be smart to fill up the seats anyway possible. Unfortunately, we are not at a place (yet) where we can fill 58,000 seats at $60 per pop.
I disagree. It’s an SEC opponent. We charge top dollar when they come to our place because they charge us top dollar when we visit their stadium. I’m paying the freight. I see people throwing $100 dollar bills into slots at the casinos. A $60 ticket is nothing for a college game.
If it’s too steep for your blood, stick to $8 tickets for high school football on Friday nites.
There is no shame in not being able to afford it, but it is completely embarrassing that fans complain about a $60 ticket for one game. It is shocking.
Fans griping about expensive tickets but want to play in a power 5 conference. I don’t understand

The only thing that doing a flash sale on tickets for this game does is make it harder to sell tickets in the future. If the mindset of the average fan is that I can wait to buy cheap tickets the two-three days before our marquee home games, then that is what they will expect. There is no incentive for them to buy season tickets/ advance tickets in the future. It would be small minded and short sided to do such. You wanna see big time football, be ready to pay.

That's simply not right, and I can understand people being ticked if it's the case.
What it comes down to, is the school is asking you to pay $30 for the ticket, and to make a one time $30 donation. It's $60 for one game, not $600. Brutal.

With our scheduling year after year that is what it is. Same for BB
folks beach about the schedule but aren't willing to pony up $60. have you been to a concert in the past ten years? can't even sniff the door of a decent act for $60 unless you're going to see Foghat in Ripley TN in the middle of a bean field.

I just think that, for now, it would be better to have a full stadium.
Discounted tickets to fill up a stadium playing a P5 would be far worse to any conference presidents.
A packed stadium (with discounted tickets) would be worse than a stadium with 18,000 empty seats?
Selling 40,000 tickets at $60/ticket is much better than selling 50,000 tickets at $30/ticket.
And, selling 40,000 tickets at $60 and selling another 20,000 tickets at $30 is better than those 20,000 going unsold.
Not to mention, the optics of a full stadium on TV.
The reality is likely your purchases from this point on will likely not change drastically by dropping the price only to $30, you would have to go all the way down to $10 to move the needle materially if even then. So for many reasons it’s better to maintain the $60 price even if it limits your walk up crowd. COVID is still impacting attendance most places this year, the whole world (including conference leaders) will understand if a stadium that would normally be 90% + full for this game is only closer to 75% full.
The important thing is that it’s mostly blue & not the opposing teams colors in our stadium.

Yeah. I posted about this on another thread. They really need to do a discounted ticket promotion for this one. ESPN game. SEC opponent. Conference shake ups going on.
We need to fill the Liberty Bowl by hook or crook. A home game vs an SEC opponent with 20,000 empty seats in the joint is not a good look.
Many SEC SEC games look like that
But yes, it is a big game in the sense Moo is local and plays in the SEC
And it is big for them too. For all their puffery about this being a Super Bowl for us and a ho hum they should win by being so mighty compared to Memphis
Beating a damn good for quite a while Memphis on the road would be really big. Especially since we **** kicked Mississippi in 15 and dominated them physically in 19, even if that final was closer than the game
Memphis gets on a roll, we beat those kids. One day they’ll upset an Alabama, so they always have that

I'm a USF Alum, but enjoy taking in a Tiger game when a heavy weight comes to town, I'm hoping for a flash sale on Thursday or Friday, if not then I'll be watching on ESPN2.
Since it's likely not a sellout you'll be able to pickup a ticket cheap at the stadium. I bought 4 tickets to the Memphis -Iowa St Liberty Bowl game a couple of years ago from the university but wound up needing 4 more. Bought them game day at the stadium at near give away $$ - and that game was virtually a sellout. Just head to the stadium, you'll find a cheap ticket.
Yeah... virtual ones... from the scalper's phone to yours... See? Aren't virtual tickets just tha bee's knees!!!
