I think that all this talk about fake vaccine IDs is both wrong headed and infantile. I think people should have the right to choose whether to be vaccinated or not. However, they DO NOT have the right to pretend they are vaccinated when they  are not. If you choose to take the risk of not taking the vaccine, you are also choosing to abide by the restrictions against  attending events and entering businesses or arenas that require proof of vaccination.

Well said Old Guy.

I see nothing wrong with requiring the card or a negative test. They’ll probably go the mask route as well.

I suspect there will be blues and billiken fans that will ask for season ticket refunds.

That is their choice.

They will know the rules and they can make a decision that is best for them.

 

I want to watch the Bills in person this year so I will do what is required. That is my choice.

I'm curious how recent the negative test has to be. 1 week, 2 weeks, a month?

I'm pro vacjne, but I don't think it should take more paper work to get into a sporting event than it does to enter the country.

Take a photo on your phone and show that. I know a lot of season ticket holders will finally be forced to use the camera function on their flip phones.

It takes more than just flashing a picture of a vaccine card, right?  The phone with the picture of the card could be anyone's phone and card.  Since our names aren't on our tickets won't we also have to show something to show that we are the person whose name is on the vaccine card picture?  Really, the only certain way to make sure the card picture is the ticket holders' is if the 2nd doc is a picture ID like a drivers/student/military card.

So to gain entrance I will need 3 things:  my ticket, my vaccine card or a picture of the card, and an item to prove that I am the person named on the vaccine card/picture.  If not then anyone can get in with someone else's card.

Bout to watch Kramer @ the Ramey league.  Watched Thames earlier.

[The Valley Sucks]

It’s a stupid rule. I’ll just change the date on my previous negative test.

There is no way they are requiring all that. It's very much an honor system. If some unvaccinated person wants to fake a card to get in it's not going to be hard to do. It's as much about plausible deniability as anything for the Blues and SLU and every other restaurant, concert venue, etc. that are "requiring" vaccination. It's not all that different than last year where you had to flash your phone with your wellness check which basically said you felt healthy. If you didn't feel healthy but still wanted to attend the game, of course you could just say you were healthy and still go...

I’m vaxxed, but it is all health theater.

Yeah but that doesn't get people pissed off about their so called freedom

[cheeseman]

See Blues. They figured it out apparently so SLU can also.

I can’t tell, are you angry because you cannot go nude to games, and this was an insult towards your cause?

My only point was that if SLU wants to really ensure that attendees meet the vaccination (or recent test result) it needs to require the 3 items that I mentioned  If they choose not to, which is likely, then we are fooling ourselves to believe that all attendees are "safe."

By the way, you say that there is no way that SLU is "requiring all that."  You do realize that my post only requires one more item than your post, so I think referring to it as "all that" is a bit of a stretch.  And of course my 3rd item is required to board an airplane, cruise ship or receive a passport.

It was my 1st time seeing both besides highlights.  The play in the Fall league can be sloppy as well but I like both players.  I agree with what some of the other posts about these two.  Thames has the potential to play multiple positions.  I would have liked for him to be more aggressive yesterday.  Not sure if he normally plays laid back like that.  Kramer doesn't have a problem being aggressive lol.  Sometimes he was trying to do to much.  But I like both of them and think they will come in ready to compete when they step on campus.

When is the first day of full team practice?  A while back the NCAA allowed 30 practices before the first game, but required days off in that schedule.  The rules may have changed, I don't know.  So Day 1 is coming up soon, within the next week or two, right?

Anyone know?  I remember Coach normally doesn' t start on the first allowable date as he takes some of the prescribed off days before he begins practice.

Hasn’t it always been 10/15? That date seems to be stuck in my fading memory bank.

Last year teams were available to practice starting OCT 14th.

[HoosierPal]

I’m seeing a couple of ‘midnight madness’ events closer to the first of next month. Last year’s season start was delayed due to covid. 
First exhibition game is Oct 26. Mid Oct start would only give them 10 or so practices before Rockhurst.
