LSU athletic director Skip Bertman sent a letter of apology Wednesday to UT athletic director Mike Hamilton in response to Tennessee's caravan of four buses being accosted by LSU fans as it neared Tiger Stadium Monday.

"The offenders you encountered on Monday night are not representative of the many great fans we have at LSU,'' Bertman wrote. "They are the unfortunate few who do not understand that their embarrassing and insulting behavior reflects poorly on LSU's athletics program and does nothing to lend support to our team.

"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.''

Three windows were cracked on the last bus by thrown bottles from the crowd, Hamilton confirmed Monday.
