    This is my guess at our policy. I am sure it is more involved than stated below.

    We banned Europeans and Chinese when their infection rates were high. They are banning us now because our infection rates are high. Europe and the US northeast infection rates are reduced now after being horribly elevated. Infection rates in the US SE and SW are very elevated now.

    bwelbo, he has a point. Most, if not all, American industrial sites would fire you on the spot, if you refused to wear your personel protective equipment because you said God would protect you. Religion is very important in our lives, but we can't endanger others because of our beliefs.

    Georgia Tech All-Time basketball team

    Yvon Joseph should be on the list. Salley played PF until Joseph graduated. GT lost to Georgetown in NCAA Tournament but Yvon held his own against Patrick Ewing. Too bad Mark Price had a rare bad day shooting.

    SC cases on the coast will probably jump after celebrations on July 4. Cases may drop after Governor McMaster allowed cities to make mask wearing rules. A lot of people are still not wearing them. IMHO business owners should be able to bar people not wearing facemasks from their stores.

    The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    I think that's a great idea. I am really beginning to believe we are not going to a have fall football season (fans or no fans). Spring football sounds good to me.

    We should all follow this advice. We don't know why Kelton Dawson is leaving but he is certainly entitled to privacy about his life. Thank you Kelton for being a part of the team and good luck with your future endeavors.

    Good GT Basketball before Cremins

    I was in Whack Hyder's PE class. He was a very easy going gentleman. I don't think Adolp Rupp or John Wooden had to teach PE.

    You are correct I meant Jahmyr Gibbs. You are saying in a clearer manner pretty much what I was trying to say.

    Recruiting "Commitments"

    Clemson has a hell of a lot more leverage than GT. Obviously some athletes have more leverage than others. CGC let Jamious Griffin take visits to other schools and keep his offer and commitment.
