I referee. Where my boss went to school has no bearing on how I call a game.
Hell, where I went to school has no bearing on how I call a game.

Grew up in Oxford, MS. Got his undergrad from Ole Miss in 1999 and immediately started working for the SEC. Went to grad school at UAB because he was already in Birmingham working for the SEC.
Thats the information I originally got too and I didnt include him but then I found a couple other sources that mentioned he graduated from both schools.

Then think it through before you post next time.

"They", in this instance refers to Alabama fans, not the Auburn fan in this thread. I guess its you that likes to connect dots that arent on the same page.
This is elementary school level grammar.

UAB and OM, I thought you were talking about Bama here
His dad was even a professor at OM, guy has no connections to Bama, yet he is in on it too

I agree and Im usually very careful about those things but Im rushing through it and I had a brain fart.

This is also false.

The bammer bias is common knowledge.
However, LSU fans bitch about officiating win, lose, or draw....vs. anyteam.
And rightfully so....SEC officiating is horrible....also common knowledge.

My boss has some influence, but he’s never in my office. My coworker who is in a completely different state working on a different project certainly doesn’t have any influence over what goes on in my office. See how that works?

Dude, what do you really believe? That Alabama gets all these calls? GTFO.
Has Bama had a close call go there way? Sure. Who hasn't? The refs don't give a shite who wins, and they really try to get it right.
Take your LSU glasses off and just watch a game without finding ways to bitch at every referee call.

Yeah, and let's stop pretending that going to UAB means you like the University of Alabama.

Your evidence is laughable as evidence into a conspiracy.
Conspiracies imply intent. Im not necessarily making accusations of intent. I would fully accept an explanation that concludes with "unconscious bias".
Thats a very real possibility when the conference HQ is in the same State as the best school, in the most profitable sport, with the biggest tradition, with the most rabid fans and is littered with graduates from that school.
C'mon man!

Just give up. This is the internet, and you're dealing with mental giants from the state of Alabama. They see no reason, only houndstooth and script A's. Fun fact, a lot of them aren't even alumni.

Hey, just checking back in to point out that you still haven’t edited your list to remove Tom Ritter.

You can blame an LSU grad for that.

He hasn't removed Charlie Hussey either.

1. Anecdotal.
2. You might be a better ref than most.
3. Does the league you ref in push around as much money as the SEC?
4. I have a close family friend that refs in the Conference USA. Im aware of "things".

Why not poll the other 10 bases in the SEC to get their opinion on whether or not there is Bama bias in this league.
