Oh yeah. He’s the one who reviewed the replay?


Where did he go to college?

I can't believe they let him call the replay. He has hated us for years

Incorrect, Ritter was not the replay official for the MSU game. Al Ford was the replay official for the game.

However, Tom Ritter is the head of replay officials for the SEC Conference.

I think this is incorrect, as well. It appears he has been the head of officials in the Gulf States Conference since 2017.

Do we know this for certain?
If so could someone please provide a link to the information?

They absolutely said on the radio last night that the targeting calls are reviewed by Ritter and Steve Shaw Whether or not they’re correct I can’t speak to but that’s what was on 98.1.

So someone that reports to Ritter was handling the “review”. No bias there

Al Ford was the replay official, and while he now lives in Alabama, he has no ties to the university.

That was when the guy was talking about his experience with being able to visit the studio where replays are reviewed a few years ago.

His bias was so obvious that it (and his bugeyes) were causing questions to be asked so Steve Shaw (Bama grad) moved him to replay where he can screw us over out of sight of the public.
