A few random thoughts this morning:
I wonder if any football players will be out at 3 a.m. on the Strip this weekend?
The Tuscaloosa News handling of the David Wasson situation was pathetic. Doug Ray, the executive editor of the News, never responded to questions asked by the Capstone Report. I wonder how the News would react if prominent local officials just ignored questions asked by its reporters. My guess is they’d like officials to respond. I think they should do the same thing when they are in the middle of a story.
Antonio Carter, a GA, could be headed to Appalachian State to coach receivers, according to the Rap Sheet. Best of luck!
