Yes. Ritter has zero connection to Bama. He did grow up in Texas. He did attend Rice. His daughter does not attend Bama. I'm not even sure where all of this false narrative started.
Fact is, the SEC will not let official work games that include their alma mater. In fact, the rule is really specific and protective in more ways:
SEC careful to prevent officials with any connections to a school from officiating a game involving that school
quote:
The SEC will screen medical observers the same way as they do officials. That means an observer can’t work a game involving their alma mater, if they have family connections to a school, if they have financial interest related to the school, or if they played for or with a team’s head coach.

I do know the officiating seems to favor Alabama over LSU regardless of who is coaching. I do know that Bama people are unbelievably concerned about the officiating for this game. They feel they've not gotten the same calls this year they normally do. I hope they're right, because the call disparity is usually significantly in their favor.
They also feel (correctly so) that they got jobbed on the Ole Miss pop pass where an OL was 4yds downfield as the pass was released.
