LSU apologizes to Tennessee for rowdy behaivor
Sep 29, 2005
Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. --LSU athletic director Skip Bertman apologized to the Tennessee athletic director for the rowdy behavior of some LSU fans who pelted a Tennessee bus with beer bottles before the Volunteers' Monday night victory over the Tigers.
Officials from both schools and LSU Police said people threw the bottles at the last of Tennessee's four buses after the convoy came to a stop near the stadium, resulting in three cracked windows. Some fans also rocked the buses, according to LSU Police.
In his letter, Bertman congratulated Hamilton on Tennessee's come-from-behind 30-27 victory in overtime. He then went on to apologize to Hamilton, the school president and all Tennessee fans
for the incident outside the stadium.
"As you know, there is unfortunately an element in every crowd
that does not exhibit good sportsmanship," Bertman wrote. "And
when crowds grow to the size of those on a football game day, it
takes only a very small percentage of offenders to ruin the day for
so many."
Bertman said the bottle throwers were not representative of all
LSU fans.
"We are working hard to address the problem presented by the
small percentage of people who, by their actions, damage the
reputation of an entire University," Bertman wrote.
