"I find it interesting that the man in the REPLAY booth at the ALA/LSU game was Gen. Dick Burleson..a man that lives in Blount County ALA and often speaks at Bama club meetings for $$$...and also wrote a book called 'You Better Be Right"...which was a quote from his good friend Bear Bryant. Hmmmmmmm not only is Alabama paying Nick Saban and their players...they are also paying officials!"

He meant that the guy got the replay official wrong. The replay official's name was George Hodges.

This is correct: Burleson was in the booth with Hodges. It really is f...ing unbelievable but unfortunately is true.

It actually turns out that Gerald Hodges was in fact the replay official...

However, Dick Burleson was the REPLAY SUPERVISOR for the Alabama vs. LSU game. He was in the instant replay booth, and has the ability to give "advice" about calls involving instant replay.

Dick Burleson also happens to be the man responsible for EVALUATING OFFICIALS PERFORMANCE reviews after the game.

This is the same man that in 1982 threw a holding flag on Auburn in the Florida game, which called back a 83 yard TD which would have sealed the victory. Also in that game, there was a botched on-side kick call where Auburn's player recovered the on-side kick, handed the Burleson the ball, and the official signaled 1st and 10 for Florida.

The same man that wrote a book about his time as an official that was named after something Bear Bryant said to him during a game... "You Better Be Right".

Finebaum admitted that Burleson was in the booth. No doubt he knew where his old bud was.

Does the SEC formulate a list of officials in the booth during the game? It's not surprising though.

Man, I wanted to believe that the bad calls were unintentional and simply the result of incompetence. But now I'm starting to wonder.

Wouldn't it be great to have a tape recording of the conversation that went on during the replay assessment.
The plot thickens. Wish I had enough money to hire an investigative team to look into the whole SEC officials situation.

Are you sure that it wasn't George Burleson along with Dick Hodges working together on this demonic project?
It is our obligation to do our due dilgence to get this right!

From Bio page for Dick's book page:
quote:

Dick graduated from Georgia Tech


Redding GT gang ?

quote:

He is now an SEC staff advisor on officiating and evaluates officials performance each Saturday from the press box and assists with instant replay.


Sounds like our Auburn buddy knows what he is talking about.
This may be the Bama guy someone was talking about after the game.
