re: Analysis on Alabama and Tom Ritter

I'm not here to address any other wacky "connections" - I have just seen repeated over and over that Ritter has a daughter that goes to Alabama and it's just a flat out lie.

They can't ref for their alma mater, children's current school, NOR their children or spouses alma mater. It's in the rules and y'all and I both know if they ignored that rule, Clay Travis, reddit, Deadspin, and every message board warrior would be all over that shite.

And, again, Ritter did not go to Alabama either. If he did, he couldn't work a game in which Alabama is a participant.

Here is Ritter's bio. It looks to me like he didn't attend college.

quote:

---

2013 will mark his 36th year of football officiating

Started his high school career in Texas in 1977

Moved to Nashville in 1982 and joined the Middle Tennessee Football Officials Association

Over the next 16 seasons worked numerous playoff games and two high school state championship games (Clinic Bowls)

Began his college football career in 1991 when he joined the Ohio Valley Conference.

Worked several NCAA national playoff games during his 10 years in the OVC

Moved to the SEC in 2000 where he still works today (13 years)

Has been awarded post-season assignments in each of the last 9 years, including four SEC Championship games (2003, 2007, 2008, 2012) as well as the 2007 FedEx Orange Bowl and 2012 Fiesta Bowl.

As well as working in the SEC, he is a TSSAA supervisor and the assigning officer for the high school games in the middle Tennessee area.

When not officiating, he works as an executive in the industrial supply business.

Again, don't bother replying to me and asking about scheduling or any of the other "BAMMER RUNS THE SEC OFFICE" stuff - I really don't care.

I just wanted to point out that neither Ritter nor his children went to or go to Alabama.

Using a lie so easily disproven renders the rest of your 8 paragraph, tin foil laden conspiracy screed null and void.
