I know an MSU alum that was an SEC official. He wasn't allowed to do State games. He's now an NFL official. He was a referee on the crew that officiated the 9-6 LSU - Alabama game. Made a big call, but I don't remember what it was. I remember Alabama fans looking him up and finding out he played baseball at MSU.
Here's a little story about him: LINK

Hey dumbass...former Alabama QB David Smith is an SEC referee, never works Alabama games, and was recently the white hat for an Auburn game.

They don't. It's why Shaw never called our games and why David Smith never does either. LSU fans convinced themselves somewhere along the lines that Tom Ritter went to Alabama (which he didn't) and ignored the fact that our record in games he officiated was actually WAY below average and WAY worse than all other officials.

Does anyone do any research before starting dumbass threads?

I agree it can be done but I know guys that have played college ball for D2 teams that are huge fans of their D1 team of choice. The only way to accomplish what you suggest IMO is to truck them in from a different area or region. Then you have to worry about one of them having an axe to grind. Officials are fans too, you just have to believe that they will do the right thing as they see it and I believe 99.9% do.

I used to say the same when Rocky Goode refereed Bama games, then they put him in charge of replay.
Look at this bastard. Even looks like a dick head.
I remember a made-up false start call in a Bama-UGA game, about 15 years ago that he used to negate a scoop and score. Replay and video evidence have changed the scene, though, and allow them to be graded fairly. There was a crew that got benched after screwing up a UF game, years ago.

Alabama alums can’t officiate an Alabama game but shouldn’t be allowed to officiate an LSU game either!

Everyone who works for the SEC is a bammer. This is our world; y'all just sort of exist in it.

Yes, this is an actual post on the Swamptard Rant:
He’s correct it would draw lots of national attention. I don’t think he has thought the bolder part through thoroughly...

we need to demand a NON SEC crew or withdraw from playing the game. That would definitely show this is real and we are not playing games. It would embarrass the hell out of the SEC offices and draw huge amounts of national attention

The SEC headquarters is in Birmingham, AL. I accept it. It's gotta be somewhere in SEC country and you have to accept it will be in the same SEC state as an SEC team.
My issue is officiating crews with conflict of interests.
Why can't you pick an officiating crew that has no direct associations with the two teams playing. Why should an LSU alum officiate an LSU game. Why should an Alabama alum officiate an Alabama game? The same goes for NFL teams.
Conflict of interest is a huge deal in business across the country? Why not the money making machine of football?
Forget the crews, dude. The head of SEC football officials is an Alabama grad. Wake up.

He's thought it through thoroughly. He also fails to understand that the deLSUsional fans would embarrass themselves.

Yeah, but do the refs provide their resumes in a public manor so everyone can see all their credentials? probably not, but we are all too lazy to check and verify. its a travesty the bammer that put SECHQ in ttown-slightly northeast was allowed to make a mockery of the whole system. rabble

There are plenty of people that could do the job in the south that have not ties to the universities in question.

I mean, type in any football official into Google, and you could probably find out where they went to college.

Don't rile these ignorant frickers up any more than they already are. I have a character flaw that won't let me just walk past stupidity without poking it.

Just sad.

Alabama alumni are not permitted to officiate Alabama games. The same goes with any other schools alumni.
But interestingly, the SEC supervisor of officials, the one all officials answer to, is allowed to be a graduate of an SEC school. Seems just a tad contradictory.

What do you think he does? Watches all the Alabama games and their future opponents' games and radios down to the guys on the field when he thinks a fix is in order?

So you didn't want them to hire one of the NCAA's most respected referees to oversee the SEC's referees?
