Can't wait to see which overrated defensive player from LSU gets ejected for targeting in the 2nd half of the Auburn game this coming season.

Amazing to me that a fan base can be so collectively stupid while simultaneously searching for a way to be a victim that they fabricate elaborate stories to convince themselves that SEC Referees are Bama grads, despite a league rule against refs having any direct, family, or financial connection to any University they work a game for.

You may be right.
Remarkable to me that so many of the LSU fans on this board try to argue that the victim mindset isn't a thing. Meanwhile, that thread has around 50 upvotes and only 5 downvotes.
Additionally, the OP makes a comment several posts down about "Bama grad Tom Ritter," which has been disproven hundreds of times but is still parroted. They even fabricated a story about his daughter attending Alabama, which was also proven false, but they don't care.

I didn't. In fact, I referenced it in the title of my OP, and once again confirmed it in my first response to the thread.
It's no secret. With LSU's big win over Bama in the CFP Championship, LSU is trending up and Bama will be lucky to keep it close at home this year.

But yet, despite that rule, the Supervisor of Officials, whose job description is to grade officials, select what games they work, and decide which officials get plum assignments like bowl games, is, in fact, a graduate of an SEC institution. Why is it you gumps don't seem to want to acknowledge that?

Quality thread. I have never seen this conversation on this board before.

We acknowledge that Steve Shaw is a Bama grad (who never officiated a Bama game, despite what many LSU fans parrot). How does that have anything to do with anything? Does he have pacts with certain officials to screw over LSU?
Do you know who was the last official to oversee an LSU win over Bama?
Tom Ritter. The "Bama grad" who constantly worked to screw over LSU. Ironically Bama's W/L record with Ritter officiating was worse than any other crew - by more than double the amount of losses.
Amazing.

Very odd. In fact, I don't remember the last time either of you contributed anything of substance to a thread.

Its really quite simple, but, sadly, probably not for you. If you feel the need to have a rule that prevents people who graduated from or have kids going to a member institution from reffing games involving that school, it seems the same should apply to the guy who oversees all of them and can have a definite impact on their careers or at least their involvement reffing games in this conference. Refs aren't prevented from calling these games because they have done something wrong, its because their participation COULD, and to many people, WOULD create the appearance of impropriety. The same should apply to the supervisor of officials. Not because he has done anything wrong, or that he will do anything wrong, but because it COULD create the appearance of impropriety. I really have a hard time seeing why this is difficult to understand.

By this logic, no SEC official should have any ties to any SEC school.
Steve Shaw was widely recognized as one of the top officials in the entire country on a yearly basis. He was rewarded for his hard work and dedication to the game by receiving a career promotion - just like in any other business.
How does it benefit Steve Shaw in any way for Bama to be successful? Do you believe he's taking payments or something?
Should coaches who graduated from rival institutions be banned from coaching in the SEC as well? Don't they have a much more direct impact on the outcome of a game? Isn't that a much worse look?

You need to take a breather.
I've never seen you as tilted as you are right now. Literally typing out paragraphs in every response
