quote:
Although the replay official for the LSU-Alabama game was Gerald Hodges, the “replay supervisor” for the LSU-Alabama game was a man named Dick Burleson, according to Paul Finebaum.
Mr. Burleson’s official website:
https://www.dickburleson.com/index.html
According to Finebaum, Burleson was in the instant replay booth for the LSU-Alabama game, and has the ability to give "advice" about calls involving instant replay. Quoted directly from his website … “He is now an SEC staff advisor on officiating and evaluates officials performance each Saturday from the press box and assists with instant replay.” Also, another quote taken directly from his website … “He is a native of Alabama and was inducted into the Alabama High School Sports Hall of Fame.” Mr. Burleson is same man that wrote a book about his time as an official that was named after something his good friend Bear Bryant supposedly said to him during a game ... "You Better Be Right.” Mr. Burleson lives in Blount County, Alabama and often speaks at Alabama booster club meetings, as well as other speaking engagements around the country, and is compensated for those speaking engagements.
A photo taken directly from the front page of Mr. Burleson’s website shows Burleson with Finebaum, a very popular Alabama sports talk radio host:
Although most reasonable people would agree that there is no “conspiracy” in the SEC in regards to Alabama, most reasonable people would agree that Mr. Burleson should certainly not be involved in any football game involving the Crimson Tide due to his natural bias. But, nonetheless, he was.
What is the SEC’s response to all of this? … “No comment.”

I think the NCAA needs to look into this!
Boy that repeat offender situation could kill Bama.
