Correct me if I am wrong, but they decided I can not go, not me. I've been going for several years and now they tell me I am not welcome. This is not the America I was brought up in.

Too many restrictions. If you are so afraid of Covid that you must have proof of testing or vaccine, than you should just cancel the event. By having the restrictions i place you are discriminating against those who do not feel the vaccine is safe and those who do not want to be tested.

And there is no guarantee there won't be any drive by shootings.

My rights do not end where your fear begins! I will not be coming because of the vaccine mandate or testing!

I wouldn’t touch the Roots N Blues with a 6 foot pole. We’re in the middle of a global pandemic. This event is a flop, no one will go because we refuse to kill our neighbors!!!!!!! ONLY PSYCHOPATHS WILL CONSIDER GOING!!! You hear that? PSYCHOPATH MURDERERS WILL ATTEND THE EVENT! This is a pandemic!

We never won against the ranked teams. Now we made our head coach one the highest paid in the college.

Mizzou football fans and boosters need to make a decision. Are we as content as fans with the job Drinkwitz is doing. If winning 8, 9, or 10 wins a season is good enough, the keep giving Drinkwitz and his staff contract extensions.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.
