re: Uga, Smokey, Bevo - just some of the live mascots still on field. WHY NOT MIKE?!?

If I am not mistaken I think they were having to medicate/ sedate the Tiger so much to bring him out that it was not good for the Tiger. I am pretty sure they had a news story on this before. The crowd, noise, and movement was driving him crazy. The last time he was brought out in the cage he looked almost dead. LSU caught some flack over that.
