Last year, my boss took me to an LSU vs. Alabama game in Tuscaloosa. We were in the Bama section, and I filmed the final moments with my iphone. It came down to a field goal attempt...

Here is the message I received...

"ESPN Video Request: LSU beats Bama - Fan reaction

I gave them full permission but just asked that they notify me of when they will use it...

Uh....why did they want to use your footage?????

Perhaps because I was acting like an ass in the wrong section.

Perhaps I'm biased and thought the clip was kind of funny.

Perhaps they did too?

they didn't tell you why they wanted the clip?

No.

I guess my bias as someone who filmed it is blinding me.

LSU plays Bama soon. Maybe that?

I don't know. I thought it was was entertaining, and a few other people did too...

We have seats on the 50 yardline in the LSU section for the Bama game. I'm taking my earplugs. Hope it is the same outcome to make up for the Championship game.
