In 4 months you will be considered anti-vax if you don’t have the Booster
You do understand that forfeiting a game is a decision only the school can make, right?
There is no forfeit requirement by the NCAA or SEC
Totally agree and I'm the same as far as a booster. I still don't understand why people get bent out of shape over some 18-22 year old's making their own decisions? It's like some of these folks are going to be pissed if AU has to forfeit a game. It's a decision that should be left up to the individual, period.
Do you believe that? If that was true, we'd never fire anybody.
Apparently it is. Maybe he thought the question was inappropriate or dumb. Maybe he felt like trolling what’s her name that day.
It’s actually not an uninformed opinion at all. I’m sure Harsin has seen the stats on the vax. I’m also sure he sees how little of a threat COVID is to healthy people.
Can we please just stop fvcking talking about this? You guys are grown men worrying about what another grown man does. It’s pathetic. If it costs us a game then I’ll be there with you on the meltdown. Good thing it’s not going to. Covid’s over dude. Get over it. Stop worrying about other dudes lol
To provide the information to the players and let them make their own decisions based on that information and any other research they choose to do. To this point do you have any shred of evidence that CBH is not doing that?
Because the NCAA removed all COVID positive and non-vaccinated players and staff (whether positive or negative) from the dugout before that game was played. Avent stayed in the dugout and coached his team. So, either the NCAA decided Avent was above the rules they enforced on everyone else or Avent was vaccinated.
Lol, I was joking. But didn't know that, thanks for the info.
Yes, but if we're testing 3 times more often due to the team being under the vaccine benchmark set by the SEC, it opens the program up to a much higher possibility of player disqualification from COVID. Besides, a player is much less likely to catch and spread COVID if vaccinated.
To be the HC of the Auburn football team. That does not require vaccination requirements.
Sorry that rustles you, Karen
True. Not arguing that. But vaccinated players can still catch Covid and miss games, even at OM
1. The mortality rate for college age people in the US is basically zero.
2. Even people that are vaccinated are catching it and spreading it.
3. So the only reason to be upset about this because you care more about the result of a football game than a person's freedom to make their own health choices.

It’s absolutely an uninformed opinion. A consensus of medical professionals recommends all individuals receive the vaccine unless a medical condition prevents them from doing so. And that group of individuals is a very very small minority
Yes, a low vaccination rate compared to other SEC schools. But let’s try that again. What is Harsin’s job?
Because he lost 4 or more games for 7 years in a row, and allowed USCe and UTjr to end decades long losing streaks to AU when they were significantly inferior teams compared to Auburn
To me, the urgency with the vaccine is more about trying to reduce the number of people who can host the vaccine and allow it to mutate into another variant. It certainly helps protect people from the virus, and while college-aged kids are pretty low risk, unvaccinated kids are a decent sized population group that could allow this variant to mutate into another variant that's more resistant to a vaccine or a variant that is more effective towards younger kids, particularly those who aren't currently eligible for vaccines at all.
Wow so you think he's not providing the information to the players? Or are you implying the players aren't smart enough to make their own decisions?
I think he has not emphasized it to the extent that other SEC coaches have. As evidence by his complete silence on the matter and our team’s much lower vaccination rate compared to our SEc neighbors.
Oh so it appears simply being AU’s coach isn’t Harsin’s job. Almost as if you’re trying to say that his job is to win football games. Interesting.
The vaccinated can still host the virus. It’s not a force-field.
what is really interesting is how folks are bent about a possible forfeit as opposed to the actual health of the players that are associated with "our" university as well as their freedom to make the health decision that is best for them and their families personally (which all of us had/have the freedom to make). bottom line is they made a decision as a team (CBH has put a lot of responsibility on the leaders of this team) to not make overall vax status (and all the politics around it) a public issue and that it would be an individual decision by each player and their parents. they are focused on football.
Under CBH's leadership, Dr Goodlett and his staff have provided and continue to provide a ton of information about the vaccines to every player as well as their parents so that they can make the best decision possible for themselves. This not about wins and losses or what fans think or don't think. CBH has told them he is going to treat them as grown men in all aspects of the program. Coming back and saying well I was going to treat you like a grown man and let you drive decisions but in this one instance I am gonna be your daddy and force you to get a vaccine cause the fans are scared to death we are going to forfeit games is ridiculous and goes against everything they stand for. And by the way, there are players parents who would be very against that stance as well.
AU fans need to get over themselves. IF AU ends up having to forfeit a game (which means they can't put enough dudes on the bus to actually play - which is highly highly unlikely no matter what their vax status is) it is what it is. get over it. try to find a way to enjoy life without wringing your hands over the vax status of a bunch of 20ish year olds playing a game
I'm I being trolled or are you really as dumb as you are currently acting.
This post may be the dumbest post I've seen on here in a long time.
That's a very very broad brush assumption. But if you want to keep pushing that opinion go ahead.
