No fricking way. Devastating. He was the best and most reliable/respectful in the business. I hope him and Fluff are having a drink right now. RIP

Awful, awful news. We were blessed to have such a talented journalist be our beat reporter for so long.

That’s heartbreaking. He was a legend in sports journalism and just seemed like a genuinely good guy.

We used to spend the night in Birmingham after home games and go to a specific gas station so we could pick up the Tuscaloosa News solely so my dad could read Cecil's Sunday article about the ballgame.

RIP

Taken too soon, but he had a wonderful career and was well respected by his peers. Praying for his family

Damn . That’s awful. Was hoping the news last week that he was fighting hard would lead to a recovery . Shared it here before , but can remember calling the TNews on Sunday nights to get his summary recording of the weekend visits for prospects . Enjoyed his Sunday articles as well. You could count on Cecil to always shoot straight with Bama athletics
