Didn't feel the needle go in, no arm soreness, feel fine overall. Mine was Moderna by the way. Oh, and I'm an OLD guy. (Not THE old Guy of course.) ive had the first vaccine. waiting for the word on when i go back for the second. likely the weekend of the 20th or after. I had absolutely no reaction of any kind after the 1st shot. my biggest pain was waiting in a line for 2.5 hours to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought walk-ons do everything with the team, but just have to pay their way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that if I had to pick a winner in this one that would benefit us, it's Georgia. Mizzou dropping in the NET rankings makes us look better by comparison. It's not the ultimate decider, it may not move the needle much - it's just every little bit that helps. I like your rationale, but I think you're looking at it backwards. Mizzou is firmly in regardless of what happens. It's better for us avoid a potential run by Georgia that could steal a bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as much chaos as possible in the 40-70 range of the NET benefits a team that is already done, especially with us sitting at 46. UGA hanging around for a bid steal has the potential to be more damaging. It's not a huge game for us today in the scheme of things. This was part of an exercise of looking at every scheduled game today and deciding which team winning would benefit SLU. This is one of the harder calls.

From the time I drove into the parking lot to the time I got back in the car to return home was 20 minutes. And 15 of those were the 'watch for a reaction' time. And zero issues with the shot.

Crazy how different individual responses are- but what I think is really cool- they’ve made needles so insanely sharp now- that aside from big needle that are for I’ve and such- you really can’t feel them!

I have assumed that all Tier I personnel have been in the quasi-bubble for every D1 team. If not, that is a HUGE hole in the security protocol.

Missouri ain't exactly winning any awards either. It's nuts that people in the major metro areas have to drive to the Iowa or Arkansas borders to get a damn shot. And then go back again in 4 weeks. I'm not going to give a lot of info here but I got my shot on Monday, a 10 minute drive from my house in one of the inner burbs. There were 4 appointments every 10 minutes. There were 4 shot giving stations inside. I was taken right on time, a little paper work, schedule the 2nd appt., and then the shot. Then they asked you to sit in a chair for 15 minutes. We were spread out in a gym. The folks giving the shots had one customer each every ten minutes. Then they just sat and waited for the next 4 people to come in. Went very smoothly, just not very efficient in my estimation. I'm not complaining, I had some help getting this appointment and I'm happy to see light at the end of the tunnel. But the whole system is all over the place. Or I should say, not much of a system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canton, MO is the Home of the NAIA Culver-Stockton Wildcats, a potential SLU future opponent if Drake gets IN after playing that cupcake non-conference schedule.

I kind of wondered if it was a VERY sharp needle. I'm used to needles, get blood tests all the time, but I was so startled I even looked to see if the needle was actually in my arm. I usually don't like to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't get much worse than Missouri's though. The only place my wife, a teacher, could find an appointment was in Illinois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, Coach Majerus’ pronouncement after waking up and seeing the Atlantic Ocean for a second straight week, speaks again from the Great Beyond. If true and this game happens, this would be totally unacceptable. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
