Were LSU Fans Really Responsible for the Netting Behind Gameday Anchors?

Yes, but I think it was when Corso picked Florida in 1997.

It rained golf balls on the set, forgot which game but it was definitely LSU when GD would set up by the PMAC

The net was already there at UGA 03 game.

I know people will try and call BS on this but it was a friend and I that threw golf ball at Corso in 97. We got arrested and were given a ticket. They pulled us all the way up the ramp and made us stand there while they were writing us a ticket for public endangerment. Chris Fowler and Corso acting like lives were in jeopardy.
We went to court a few weeks later and it was ESPN vs Us on the docket. Public defender told us to just stay quiet. The judge called us up, read the synopsis of the ticket, asked us what happened. I told him Corso picked Florida. He laughed, said case dismissed, and banged the gavel.
I really wish I would have kept the paperwork on this.
That's the true story. Gameday now has a screen behind them because of that.

Yes they were. They threw a golf ball on set after Corso picked the opposing team. It was from a 1996 or 1997 game.

Either a 90's Shaun Alexander Bama game or 97 Florida game

It was 94 and it was a piece of an elephant tusk. Bill Brasky cut it from a mummified pachyderm during one his annual trips to Africa. Turned out to be the same pachyderm that rode Marie Antoinette before her untimely death.

i was there for the 96 and 97 gamedays. I cant recall which one it was but someone most certainly threw a golf ball at Lee Corso

The net went up for the 97 Florida game. Chris Fowler told me while standing at the base of the PMAC ramp the net was up because LSU fans had thrown crawfish up on the stage in a previous event. Don't know when crawfish would have been around in the fall unless they were frozen.
