Didn't say that either. With Bama it was more personal for most of them. Very few schools today have a Cecil Hurt protecting their interest. More a case of the opposite.

Hurt is a beat writer who covers UA athletics....nothing more nothing less.....sure he publishes flattering articles but not always I can assure you. Saban and Bama get their knob polished quite a bit by the media but that is to be expected when you win 4 titles in 7 years and are on a roll that hasn't been seen in college football.....I can also assure you that wasn't always the case particularly in the Dubose-Shula years and going back into the Perkins-Curry days.....The fact that you think there is some broader conspiracy to protect Bama is laughable.

Understand that dickhead, but if they find some dirt on the program they go into hyper drive to get the information out. The only "media group" whose job is to protect the program is fan sites. Cecil is a throwback.

meh. A lot of programs do this. Harbuagh is a winner and when he gets Michigan rolling all will be forgotten/forgiven.

I do not think Cecil's protection of Alabama resonates beyond the boarders of the state. Those posters who were singing Cecil's literary skills are in those same demographics. My guess is Harbaugh doesn't lose any sleep over Cecil Hurts tweets.

His "protection."

Otherwise known as "coverage."

I mean, of all the bizarre dumb shite you've posted, this has gotta be way up there.

How well did Cecil "cover" the Mike Dubose and Wimp Sanderson affairs ? That stuff was on the streets for months before anyone read anything on it. Maybe Cecil was just clueless to what was going on.

How about Lane Kiffin and the wife of a prominent booster? I haven't read any tweets from Cecil on that subject, but he is good at slinging mud at Harbaugh's character. Talk about pandering to the Cult.

If Cecil really had an agenda he would be dishing shite up on Auburn, Ole Miss and the rest of the SEC. He probably knows about shite that goes on at AU almost as well as he does at UA...these guys talk to everyone. Hell - he could probably write a book about shite that has gone down at Bama that no one knows about. Finebaum hears and knows about shite but he doesn't spill every rumor or what some source told him. Just becuase he hears about some coach fricking around means he runs and publishes it in his column.

Puppets is DUMB as frick....but will give him credit....knowledge of Alf van Hoose means you are an old school SEC fan......even if its some old Barner grit like Puppet still complaining 40 years later about Bama media knighting for Bryant.

Good god you're still on this? So in all your research you couldn't find a single column where Hurt is being an over the top homer? Instead of providing any evidence whatsoever that he's a homer you demand Bama fans prove he isn't. Have you heard of a null hypothesis? Nevermind, doubt y'all have discussed that on ITAT.

Cecil doesn't break the types of stories you are referencing, the shady ones based on rumors, for Alabama OR its rivals. It's just not his style, he leaves conspiracy theories to others, such as the fricking voice of your program, Stan White. The Harbaugh thing is a public tweet he found ironic. I'm not expecting much from you, but surely you see the difference there?
