As the replay supervisor?


I think Finebaum acknowledged that he was in there.

If so, even Alabama fans would admit there's a tad bit of a conflict of interest, at the very least.


No, that creates an air of impropriety, not concrete evidence thereof. The old adage of it looking like a duck isn't applicable here. The guy is in the Alabama High School Sports Hall of Fame, not the University of Alabama Hall of Fame. He was born here, yes. But are you saying that someone who was born in Louisiana and went to an out of state school, then spent 25 years officiating games all over the SEC, would be involved in a conspiracy to aid LSU? Because that is the insinuation you are making in relation to Gen. Burleson.

I wonder if he's spoken at LSU booster club meetings?

I am writing the NCAA and requesting an investigation into this.

If there is no wrong doing, no big deal.

If there is, I am sure the NCAA would love to snoop around the Bama program AGAIN.
