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...
Anyone remember this little gem? There's our boy...Tom Ritter, staring at Jordan Jefferson as BAMA's defender buries his head into his sternum well after the throw...

Yeah...same game as the PP non interception.

Still don't get what's so juicy about Ritter's day job.
Nor do I, but maybe the key is this:

The manufacturing division caters to the print finishing and decal markets. It produces a wide range of numbering and perforating equipment from a table-top to the most advanced numbering/perforating system available today, the PS-10 Rotary Numbering system. Production of semi-slitters with unmatched precision allows the screen print industry to back-slit or face-slit pressure sensitive materials (decals).
Do they make the helmet decals or something?

I would seriously like to see an in depth study of the calls made/not made that benefited Bama in SEC games. If any investigative journalists are out there looking to make a name for themselves this would be a pretty good topic to investigate.

Season is not over Rumble and we know you mfers never get anything in Ttown. Plus there are already post showing you are least penalized every year for last 15 even when Satan was at LSU and Shula was at Bama? Explain that? Or why you got 3 or 4 holding calls with non sec refs in West Virginia game and then very few afterwards. or better yet go back to the fricking rant and stay off our GD board.

So the numbers and facts all say one thing, but a bunch of people on a message board can't accept that. Also, 2007 Alabama game had three critical calls against Alabama including the big one of no catch by Matt caddell not reversed that would have won the game for bama. Also, Tom Ritter rarely throws these flags, he's just the one making the announcement to the crowd. People can't really be this stupid...

Yeah except the twelve penalties against Florida at home this year. Or let's go back to 2008 in Baton Rouge where a phantom holding call had a touchdown brought back that would have put bama up at the end of regulation.

Nah...I think that's probably a good idea with how bent out of shape fans get with officials.

Gem from way back.
Tennessee outgained Alabama, 341 yards to 256 yards, and had the ball almost five minutes more than the Crimson Tide, which was ranked first nationally in total defense. Kiffin jabbed at the officiating in his postgame comments because his team, the least-penalized in the SEC, was called for eight penalties for 68 yards. Alabama was assessed one penalty.
“Very shocking to me,” Kiffin said of the flags.
Least penalized team over last decade Bama, most whoever is playing them. i know someone had a chart before the season showing that. (lol) Maybe should ask kitten about it.

I'm not saying that his daughters names or his address should be disclosed
A short bio or resume should be available on the SEC website showing their education history and accompaniments.
As an auditor, I find the lack of transparency disturbing. Very hard to find information on him

There's litterally nothing on the net about his personal life.

I also have a close personal friend, whose uncle ref'd in the SEC, he's now a replay official "observer".....doesn't make the calls but oversees the process. He has been to our tailgates after games......he played for an SEC school also, but he can't call games involving his former school.
These guys have to keep as low a profile as possible, but it would be nice to know whether or not someone is a booster or if their kids or grand kids attend a school of the game they are calling, even living in the same state could create problems.
Personally, I would like to see referees, in the Big 5 conferences, become a national association instead of conference affiliated and they would get their assignments on Thursday night for Saturdays game.

That really has nothing to do with my point and what I mean by transparency.
Showing evidence that one is competent and qualified via relevant work history and education helps prove independence

What should be transparent and PUBLIC about every ref is where he went to school and where his wife and kids went to school and to what schools they donate money and whether or not they have any financial contracts/dealings with any school.

No, but the school they attended is relevant for independence
Their officiating and relevant work history is relevant for independence.
