Dude, I just told you he donated 20 mill to UA and your still talking about speaking engagements. I just gave you concrete evidence that he is a bama booster. Spread the word brother.

I was curious as to the validity of that info, frequency of appearances if any, and compensation if any. As this information is getting MSM airtime, it seems if it were not true, someone would try and put it to rest.



Seeing as how he's listed on a speaker's bureau roster, I would imagine he has. From his resume, I'm sure he's delivered hundreds of speeches to many different groups. To think he would not speak to an Alabama group is silly.

Are you saying that this is not true?


It only takes so much eloquence to point out an idiot.

And I have no idea if he's ever spoken there. What would it prove if he had?

I've never seen grown men (presumably) act as immature as several of these rantards have this week.

I saw Burleson at a REC event last night. We shared a beer and laughed at how he screwed LSU. As he left he shouted "Roll Tide! We rollin' now!"

Dick Burleson's presence in the instant replay booth is a huge conflict of interest.

Burleson is an SEC advisor with very close long-term ties to Alabama.

Burleson often speaks to Alabama booster clubs, according to his website and wrote about his friend bear bryant in his book - You'd Better Be Right.

Funny how the title of the book comes from the Bear himself over a call vs. Vandy in '82.

I think The Bear still speaks to Tricky Dick.

Bobby Aillet's Dad was a close friend of Bryant. Why haven't you pitched a fit about that or is he next?

See, the problem you gumps seem to have is AGAIN like the Bama 09 game , the AUburn 06 hame was not about JUST ONE MISSED CALL. There were 8 missed calls/no calls, bad calls that game. Simply search on youitube under REFGATE. Clear as day. Stop spinning things as if they was JUST ONE BAD CALL.



I feel incredibly honored. lsutigertia looked at everything that has been posted on this board since March. I was the guy that caused her to say, "frick that...I'm setting this a-hole straight!"

Man-its time to let it go...as it was stated on the Tony Barnhart show, Alabama is starting to gel-it has its offense working for em, its defense working for em, its special teams working for em, and it refs working for em!!!
