I'm not surprised that you Alabama-ites think this dude is some sort of Vaught-Hemingway.

Marshall works for a fan site (and before that the ath dept)... hurt works for a (supposedly) legit news organization. Big difference.

Same in t-town. Plus the loan rates from Boosters can not be matched.

His tweet last night was better:

So it has a completely unimpeachable reputation to all but the most brainwashed of the emotion-driven dullards? Wow- wouldn't expect an Auburn fan to make such a grandiose statement about the Tuscaloosa News.

My favorite Cecil Hurt tweet

It was sprinkling lightly at the start of Alabama practice and Lou Holtz was there and I'm hoping those were independent events.

Didn’t the NCAA reference Cecil in the Logon Young case? That is pretty impeachable to his reputation .

Cecil Hurt is one of the last newspapermen, and a damn unobjective breath of talented journalism.

Pardon? He's a football stadium? You don't need to talk to anyone about intelligence.

Not really. But, since you bring it up, Hurt is clever and has valuable insights on football. Marshall is a loss of brain cells. Which explains why Marshall once worked in the 'Barn athletic dept.

I had no idea Cecil rustled Auburn fans this much. Is there a reason or is it just because he writes for the Tuscaloosa News?

Only read his columns a few times (nothing special). He panders to the Athletic Dept and we found out why during the NCAA Logan Young investigation. There are certain lines you do not cross if you are a reporter and have the trust of the readers. When you cross that line, you lose any credibility. In today's environment, he would have been gone. That might explain why he is still at the T-TOWN News.

Both. They're so jealous that they seethe at anything related to The Capstone. Also, he's one of the most respected sports journalists in the Southeast, and Auburn's got nothing to compare with him.

Nailed it...More respected than anything they can trot out from the plains. As far as pandering... Pot meet kettle, yellow teeth Marshall was the biggest suckup and enabler for years in that corrupt down home cesspool of an athletic department at the barn.
