Description: Stop by the LSU Union Bookstore to meet and greet Danny Brown, author of SHOOTING THE PISTOL: COURTSIDE PHOTOS OF PETE MARAVICH AT LSU. A journalism student at LSU during most of Pete's college years, he took hundreds of photographs at LSU basketball games as part of his course work. In SHOOTING THE PISTOL, Brown offers more than eighty photographs – most never before published – of Pete in action, along with game statistics and personal recollections, to form the single most complete portrait ever made of Maravich at LSU. The volume culminates in Brown's near-perfect photographs of Pete's shot that broke the NCAA scoring record during the 1970 Ole Miss game and of the ensuing game-stopping victory celebration. Seeing LSU’s basketball phenomenon Pete Maravich through the lens of Danny Brown will transport fans back in time, under the goal, to witness firsthand the making of college sports history.
