VIDEO: ESPN Cameraman Trucked During LSU's Run Out of Tunnel vs Clemson
There was some premature pancaking that ensued in the pregame festivities prior to the CFP National Championship game between LSU and Clemson. LSU's made a name for themselves all season long for pump-up introductory videos of epic proportions, including everything from Joe "Burreaux's" monumental jersey monicker, to the traditional "Haka" dance performed by Breiden Fehoko. This game featured a shoutout from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and it had LSU ready to trample over anything in their path. That's what happened to this ESPN cameraman.
Can't say I put the players at fault for the carnage in this one. These guys are about to play in the biggest game of their young lives, and while it has similar proportions for the guys behind the camera, perhaps a side view would've sufficed. What actually took place instead was a failed attempt of a frontal shot that resulted in the cameraman looking up at the stars.
