Can someone please tell me how to access Cecil's articles now?  We were told that they would be available for free like before.  I know it isn't football season, and I read somewhere that he was on vacation during this changeover so maybe that's the reason we aren't seeing them.

I have tried everyday...first going to Tidesports (Rivals) front page...then Tuscaloosa News sports...finally googling Cecil Hurt.

Haven't found anything more recent than a basketball article written in early February.

Thanks. ;D

I've had the same problem. Basically, I think they lied because I don't think there was a rush to sign up and pay for the service.

Try going to www.TideSports.com and clicking on "News" right under the TideSports logo, or you can click here: http://alabama.rivals.com/storyindex.asp.  The articles listed here have the author's name, and Cecil has several articles here.  You'll have to manually scan them and look for Cecil's name.  It's not a very good way to feature one of their best columnists IMHO.

Thanks Bamaphile.... :)


Cecil sure got knocked down in status this past year...what a shame.
I wonder who is responsible.  IMP, he is the most talented sports journalist in this part of the country.   

I looked at the online members of the Round Table the first day of the changeover to Tidesports and it said 1378 (approx). It was 1250 (approx) the next day, 1150 (approx) yesterday, and 1078 today (same time)....who knows what will happen here.

Probably closer to football season, TS will attract more members....

Some of you may have inside information about the status over there...I don't.

Hey one thing for sure. Cecil will never rank with CNS. Do you think he is mad? RTR!

Cecil generally toes the party line and CNS may even use him on occassion to speak to his players through the print/interwebz.

I had never thought about that but it sounds sabanesque. I bet Cecil likes that. RTR!
