The ref that ran in and stopped our trick play, he went to high school in Birmingham Alabama. His name is Ryan Hagan. I know cause I played against him in high school football and wrestling. He is an Alabama fan. Having him as a part of the officiating crew for an Alabama game should not have happened. Piss poor officiating from the SEC and to benefit alabama as usual.

Was that the young kid that looks like he is about 18?

 

[CBR07]

Damn now we all googling this dude or Facebooking him

 

[82_VOL_83]

The ref in charge of last night's game is as bad as the moron ref in the booth.

 

[CBR07]

Yeah that dude in the booth agreed with the flag on Darrell Taylor

 

[VolForLife83]

That and the no late hit on BM. Then they turn around and flag Taylor for unsportsman like conduct for touching the qb when getting up? I'll admit, I know what his intentions were getting up, but he didn't fully do it. He restrained himself

He has always been an idiot. Thank god he's off the field.

I believe there is a rule that you cant officiate a game where you went to school so how do you propose they vet each official?

They all cover each other’s ass no matter what.

The on air ref segments are the dumbest thing going in football broadcasting. The imbeciles are a brotherhood, they never turn on another one.

According to this Montgomery Advertiser article,, Ryan Hagan, as claimed by the OP, was indeed the Line judge:

Im saying it didnt mention his name as one from Alabama.

I know, but simply to verify the OP's claim of the name of the ref in question.

That's ridiculous. Is that policy also in effect in other major conferences..??

Could not agree with you more. What’s the point of having some random “rules expert” sitting somewhere watching the game from the same vantage point the rest of us are? We don’t really need his opinion - we’re watching for ourselves

 

[FLVOL_79]

Of course their identities have to be hidden..people still ranting and raving 2 days later..

Ranting and raving? Being curious about a bizarre play stoppage at the moment we lined up in a new formation is not that.

It is for the casual football fan that do but know the rules like the door hard fan. It also keeps their commentators clean, meaning the opinion is not their so the viewers always like them.
