All you have to do is look at the leadership (or lack there of) in most of these colleges and universities.

I don't envy the decisions that those individuals have to make, 22. They are paid the big bucks, but I would argue it's a no-win situation.

The problem is that if it truly were a dangerous health concern, then what are we doing?! Close everything down, including schools and virtually everything else. Why risk it if this is so scary? However, it's this so-so, half serious response all over this country that is maddening! For instance, some schools are opening and some are not. All have human beings that can pass the virus. Some restaurants are still curbside/drive-thru and some are not. Some businesses are closed and some are not. Many sports are playing right along and some are scared to even try. The dirty little secret, of course, is the stats prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that college students and younger kids are virtually at no risk whatsoever. That's why we know this is much more than a "health concern", otherwise we certainly cannot function moving forward when the flu gets rolling through our schools. This is both financial and political, depending on the situation. This thing likely goes way too deep for any of us to even comprehend.

There is definitely something besides "just a virus" in play here. Political or something much bigger? But we're not allowed to think that broadly. You get called a "conspiracy nut" by those so called "intellectuals". One things for sure. The "people in charge" are not nearly as qualified as we thought they were.

"The people in charge" are not affected by this. They have jobs. They are getting paid. They get free tests at any time. They can get hydroxychloroquine if they want it. They are safe in their mansions. All of this just increases their personal fortune, fame, and power. They don't give a rat's *** about how their opinions and mandates affect all of us.

Here's something else to chew on. For everybody that's wearing mask. A study just completed at Duke University found that those Bandanna style mask, some called Neck Fleece are actually less affective than no mask at all. The Bandanna style is what Fancy Nancy Pelosi always wears. Just for your information. I think she might be patient zero. She's spreading the virus to ever living human on the face of the earth. I've been told some people are getting the virus just from seeing her face on TV. Kind of like that lady with the snakes on her head turning everybody to stone. Only different.

    • Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.
    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few. And as far as Wilkins riding off into the sunset, where do y'all seem to think he will leave?? Wilkins is a healthy dude and he loves basketball and loves coaching. I wouldn't be suprised if he coaches a few more years. He loves the game and loves every minute of coaching.   
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
    • My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
    • Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
