I sure do, also remember when I emailed you to complain about moving him to tsun beat and you told me, that was normal, and I replied, I never heard of the Birmingham News or AL.com switching the bama and auburn beat reporters, . . . all I heard from you were crickets!

Any comments???

I was not the sports editor who moved Sekou, although it is commonplace to move beat reporters. For instance, I spent my first two years at CL covering State (79-80), then was moved to Ole Miss (81-82) and then became an editor/columnist. Many, including Rusty Hampton and Mike Knobler, also covered both State and Ole Miss during their days there.

yes but he gave State fair coverage. Not the general CL bias toward Ole Miss based on the papers ownership. As a State fan you were appreciated.
