Rick, I was listening to Scott Moore and Jay Barker last Wednesday afternoon - they 
too were shocked by this article and could not believe that he wrote such an article 
even being a "slow football week".  They said they would be very interested in hearing 
his reasoning behind such an article.. Just thought you would like to know even other 
media types were shocked/offended by his article.

RTR!

Maybe you're right, it does sound Finebaumish, but he sure sounds like he
believes what he's writing. I've actually had respect for Malick's articles
through the years. This really surprises me. He's close to what's going on
in UA's sports department and to hear him say crap like this bothers me. I
hope there's not an ounce of truth to it!

'Tis true.  There are probably several factors for Zow's struggles.  He never seemed the same in 1999 after his ankle injury.  Until this year, his head coach was utterly incompetent and the rest of the coaching staff was in disarray.  Still, his 2000 season was a pretty dismal one, and that surely didn't help him in his efforts to win the starting job this year.

I swear, if I saw Malick right now, I'd want to punch him in the mouth. I'm
still fuming about his stupid, slanderous drivel. Good Lord what an idiotic
thing to get started. I mean really, how does the UofA defend itself against
the statements Malick made in today's paper? They can't respond. It's a

Isn't it ironic how the media types start spewing racial venom after a coach
has closed practice to the media?

Ray Melick is a joke. He's a ferret-faced, buck-toothed joke at that. This
clown shows up for practice about 30 minutes before practice is over. He
comes emptied handed. Nothing to write on, or write with. He stays as far
away from the action as possible. Always taking refuge in the shadow cast by
the indoor practice facility. He hangs around long enough to show his face
at the post-practice press session, then hauls ass with a transcript of the
daily media release. Then, this clown uses this press release to bullshit
his way through a column. Melick wouldn't even bother to come to Tuscaloosa
were it not for the $35.00 he gets paid for mileage.

I'm not making this up. I've seen it on numerous occasions.

OK. I'm through.

Roll Tide!!

The number one rule in life, if you do not already know it, is "Thou shalt
follow the money trail!" There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. On the
contrary, it's survival instinct. It's just fact that everything in life and

The Birmingham P-H has
slammed us pretty hard in today's edition. Basically
playing the race card as being the #1 reason Andrew Zow has not started
this
season. Ray Malick is really out on a limb here. The first article
also
makes a statement that this may be the last chance Bama will have to
be
eligible for a bowl game for several years because of impending
penalties.
Gee, you'd think these guys get paid to start controversy or
something.
http://www.postherald.com/ba112101.shtml
This article was probably written because the guy who wrote it is a sore
Awbum loser and since Bama beat the poo-poo out of them, he is wanting to
start up something. It's as if these sportswriters, if you can call them
that, has something against Bama and is always trying to come up with
negative, horrible things to write about Bama. I have never understood
the dislike that sportswriters, announcers and, IMHO, officials seem to
have for Bama. What in the world did we ever do to these people? Have a
winning tradition? Wow so sue us!!! It's ridiculous Sounds like sour
grapes to me. I say do like I do and forget these losers. I don't even
read these columns anymore. All they are is full of
hockey-puck!!

I'll be the first to admit, I'm a little slow, so can someone enlighten me
as to the purpose of Malick's article. I went back and read it again and for
the life of me can not figure out the purpose of him writing this garbage.
What does he hope to accomplish with this? He's been the Bama beat writer
for a long-long time. What is the deal here? Someone help me. I'm serious.
The more I think about this, the angrier I get. He's heard what Franchione
has said from the beginning, does this article mean he doesn't believe a
word that Fran has said this season? This is very lame-brain in the truest
sense of the term.

Good-grief!!!

I can't help but believe this is the media's way of jabbing Bama simply
because of the frat house incident at the Barn. Maybe it's just my way of
thinking, but damn, the timing sure points my thoughts in that direction!!!
