He's ONE of them.

 

[RocketDawg]

I hope we don't get his crew.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

He's as impartial as Gary and Verne.

That gif is so damn unbelievable. No matter how many times I watch it, it amazes me.

 

[57stratdawg]

It really is jaw dropping.

That crew right there is the worst in the SEC. They screw up everything.

I thought last year I read where Tom Ritter wouldn't be able to do anymore Alabama games because he was a Alabama graduate.

I've often wondered how officials are decided upon. Is the host responsible for lining up officiating? Does it come from SEC office? Do they have a schedule that is known in advance, or does SEC office say you go here and you go over there?

 

[patdog]

SEC office assigns officials. No idea of how they decide which officials get which games other than you can't call a game involving the school you went to.

And here is # 13 and 14.

Saw where Tom has a tee time at Old Waverly Friday

 

[GloryDawg]

That's the crew that caused our KY game to run 5 hrs. They held up the clock for five minutes to give back one yard.

At one time an alumnus could not officiate an SEC game that his alma mater was playing. My sister's father in law was an alumnus of State for many years and an SEC football official, line judge. There was also a salary threshold that was fairly high at the time to prevent being on the take.
