I've heard that from the LSU fans but have never seen that printed anywhere in a legitimate article. Can you provide the proof the replay official was a Bama grad. It's my understanding that you cannot be a ref of any game that includes a team that you graduated from.


I think that's a relatively new rule.

OK mythbuster on Dick Burleson being a Bama Grad.


quote:

riticism of the SEC increased when it was learned that replay communicator Dick Burleson worked the LSU-Alabama game. Burleson, who is not an alumnus of Alabama, has strong ties to the university and has even spoken at Alabama booster club meetings. Burleson is a replay communicator, meaning he is in the replay booth and has the ability to give advice about calls involving instant replay, but does not rule directly on replays like the replay official does



So, not only is he not an actual Bama Grad, he did not even make the actual call on the non interception.

bleacher report but it is the source for myth busting LSU fans claim DB is a Bama Grad and that he made the call.
