Pete Carroll Says LSU Poked Mike da Tiger with Cattle Prods

The answer is NO. They don't even make him go to the game if he don't want to. He has it better than most of us.
I remember Mike being provoked to growling as recently as the late 60's early 70's, there was a microphone by the cage to pick up the growls pre-game, Carroll is relatively correct, something was used to at least rattle the cage to get a response that came over the PA system.



A mike may have been put up to the cage, but nothing was ever used to rattle Mike's cage.
There were 2 surfaces anyway - the outer cage that had very small holes, and the inner cage that was too far inside the outer cage to fit anything into!!!!!!
Again, Carroll is a total liar....

Oh, so they sprayed him with water and then shocked him. That would make me growl.

Then Mike was very cooperative and into the game as he always roared on que.

In the late '70's I was ushering games with the Scouts. A group of us wound up down by the cage trailer before the game. One of the kids in our group started running his hand back and forth on the small holes making this irritating noise. Mike had enough and let out a roar. We all about crapped our pants and the section of fans near us laughed their asses off.

Point of this story is you can't put a hand, stick or prod through the cage AND it did not take much to make Mike roar.
