Can anyone confirm that it was Burleson in the replay booth?

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

Of course they won't.
Expect this thread to get ignored by the gumps...even though they'd have a conniption fit if the situation were reversed.

The divot was made 2 weeks earlier, after the block fg.

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.

I think Finebaum acknowledged that he was in there.

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.

Another quote from the website linked above:
"Dick shares his “12 Mandatory Leadership Traits” for success developed during his time with great leaders like Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant and General Colin Powell."
