Not really, but apparently quite a few people don't want the live tiger being brought to the field anymore after last season. Interesting to me that the LA governor stuck his nose in this issue too

pretty sure people gripe about the live tiger thing every year

MSNBCCCP. LOL.

But honestly, the bringing of wild animals into a stadium full of maniacs seems a bit much. Uga and Smokey and Miss Rev, that's one thing. A live tiger or lion etc is another. I'm amazed Colorado hasn't had any incidents with Ralphie after all these years.

Uncool tradition. Keep the big beautiful cats in their natural habitat.

What if that mountain man at West Virginia snaps and goes on a rampage with his musket?

This article is a year old.

lsu kicking off the annual mascot hiring carousel. Mike is rumored to be out at lsu and Truman's agent is desperately trying to determine somebody in that state he can contact to pimp his client.

I would say the same about Bevo but isn't he heavily sedated on game day? At least it seems so.

YOU DON'T SAY! Did the first sentence of the article give it away, or the date at the top of the article?

With Aubie and The Tiger from Clemson possibly coming available soon, it will be interesting to see which tiger lands where

That slab of beef is drugged up worse than Amy Winehouse was

Maybe not as much as the old days 20-30 years ago where it was all he could do just to waddle out to his little green astroturf mat and just lay there and crap himself the whole game

That tiger wasn't even Mike iirc

Does Baylor still have a bear enclosure/ bear?

I'm thankful they keep bringing Bevo in otherwise we'd have missed out on that commercial with the two fruity dudes running after it like a couple of Kansas City you-know-whats.
We really need a gif of that before that commercial quits being aired.

tu denies it so you know it's true. That thing gets the good drugs on Saturdays.

And it's nuts have been cut off.

I built the squeeze cage for Mike the tiger. They can jump him in that and physically restrain him to draw blood or give injections without having to knock him down. I didnt' do the trailer but the trailer is pretty cool.

The vet at lsu told us that when they started shooting fireworks is when Mike started freaking out at the stadium. That low frequency " whooosh" sounds like a predator charging and that would send Mike into a freak out when they lit those off. He stopped loading in his trailer the next game.

our opponents should really stop hurting animals for fun.


i went to snake farm a while back, last time i was there it was just snake. Now its like Joe Exotic type zoo. That is the saddest place in the world. All of their animals look miserable. What's wrong with people?

I can't go to zoos anymore (this place excepted) because they just bum me out. The animals look miserable

If ever there was a time for A&M to donate to PETA to, y'know, protect actual tigers, now would be quite the opportunity

Nope. According to the linked article, Mike stays in his enclosure. The tiger at the game, Omar, was driven up from Florida.

Nothing will ever beat taco meat!

They fired Joe Exotic?

The Clemson Tiger has a young family to consider, this may make a move more challenging.

Some school in Mississippi should adopt a new mascot and team name, becoming the "Mississippi Lab Monkeys."
