The holidays have got me all discombobulated, so I'm doing this post a day late.
I'm getting close to finishing the fine biography of R.E.M. written by Peter Ames Carlin: The Name of This Band is R.E.M.
I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I think it's hard to find a set of three songs to end an album like you find on Automatic for the People.
The album ends with this trio:
It's not Sunday, but I was a bit hungover this morning.
Yesterday's game was a major disappointment.
The Tide had three turnovers in the first quarter. A team is not likely to win with such results.
The Alabama defense did play well though under terrible conditions.
However, the offense was inept. It had flashes, but there is no reason why the Tide cannot put up more points than they did.
I would assume Milroe is going to announce for the draft. I don't blame him. He already has both a B.A. and an M.A., and I would think he'd be drafted in the first round somewhere. His athletic ability is unparalleled.
One point that the commentators didn't bring up is that because of the transfer portal, the Tide only had two starting wide receivers left: Williams and Bernard. And I didn't recognize a number of players on defense.
However, what Milroe put on tape in the bowl game yesterday would have to concern some GMs. He needs to go to a team that will develop a quarterback.
Regardless, I'm interested to see what next season brings and who wins the QB1 competition. If I were a betting man, I'd bet on Simpson.
