re: Analysis on Alabama and Tom Ritter

just post it already lol

Can we just know what Ritter does for a living and what connection it has to Alabama or alabama boosters/fans/alumni

Seriously considering, if there is something in his job, to letting my cousin who is an fbi guy and does RICO stuff, knowing about it

It's bigger than being an alumni if he is an alumni, you guys will figure it out eventually and will shite yourselves.

I'm not one of the TD sleuths. For me, it doesn't require anything more than knowing that two of the most influential people within the walls of the SEC office are Alabama alumni. Given they go through the pitiful motions of attempting to make sure officials have no ties to the programs they are officiating (I'm not going to point out the plethora of loopholes for which there are no rules but I'm sure you can all see them clearly) then they understand that being too close to a program could potentially sway one's judgement.

So which is it? If being too close to a member program could lead to the inability to do one's job impartially, why no raised eyebrows about Mark Womack and Steve Shaw? Who in the SEC benefits from not asking this very simple question?

Anything beyond that is outside of my scope.

Any proof that his daughter attends bama?

Some variation of this rumor has been circulating for 7 or 8 years. She must be a doctor by now.

It is TMW?

why is a bama fan posting on the rant?

Yeah, I thought I was on the tiger rant, but with all the goddamn bama numbskulls posting here you would think it was the SEC rant or the bama board. Go back where you belong gumps!!

Why is it so hard to believe that the referees are corrupt? Sports in which large amounts of money are involved have a long history of corrupt officials. There have many stories in the past and there are many stories that will come out in the future.The evidence is on the field. It's not isolated. It's a recurrent pattern. And it doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon. It's time to get the government involved in order to stop this

while Ritter was the ref, he didn't blow the calls. in 14 it was the umpire. in 09 it was another official and the replay Guy.

OK, I'll play along; several questions for those of you following officiating closely:
1.)We've been talking about Ritter it seems for forever. We see him ANNOUNCE the results of a flag, but did he THROW them? There's SEVEN refs on a field, right? Which one made the PP out-of-bounds call?
2) I've read here that that replay official was fired- T/F?
3)Several times we see refs in position to make calls do not, but another from far away does....did the closest ref to PP make that call, or another? Same question, other controversial calls...
4) This past Saturday, how were the calls we're unhappy/suspicious about distributed? Who made them? a) ref standing few feet away from PI and facemask on Dupre, calls nothing, then calls TD catch out of bounds?
b)PF call?
c)who came from far away to call touchback?
d) last two PI no-calls- what ref was on them?
e) who's standing on the line right in front of illegal shift and doesn't call it?
f)the 14 flags to none game- how were those distributed? Does one guy throw a lot more than others?

I've seen talk of a Burleson, being a referee/Bama booster, member of their whatever they call their version of TAF...True or False? Unsubstantiated rumor? Whose ref crew did he work for? Is he still officiating?

So you made me have to Google the acronym TSSAA: Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association. "Cracker" insinuates something sinister w/ Ritter's day-job there...what could that be? My best guess, since he implies "we will freak out" when we find out what he does, is something with transcripts and credit compliance? Is Tenn such a hotbed of talent that an "inside man" in TSSAA wields any undue influence favorable to Bama?

Still don't get what's so juicy about Ritter's day job.
