I came to LSU in 2002 and they had it them. 2002 might have been the last year.

Almost certain it started around 98-99.

It was kinda funny in a way, but still kinda awful too.

I loved that mascot and so did my father. We would be crying laughing at that stupid, but awesome, thing.

I know he was there in 2003 and maybe 2004. That shite was so stupid it was funny. I used to laugh my arse off at thing and I couldn't figure out why. I'm not exactly easily amused by things, usually.

Good call to leave when the free drinks end, otherwise, you wind up spending a frickton of money anyway.

My favorite Ellis Hugh moment...he was leading the team out onto the field and he got knocked over by one of the players...he was on his back and he couldn't get up. He was just rolling back and forth trying to get up. After a period of time, someone finally helped him up...We were in tears...

Best thread ever. I'm in tears hearing your recollections of this abomination of a mascot.

Also, If LSU sent out an email saying that that thing would be making an appearance at the end of each home game, my arse would be in the seat till 0:00 every single game.

We'll have to get a "Bring Back Ellis Hugh" campaign going along with the Mike needs "p" one.

Ellis' actions were so bad but you just couldnt take your eyes off of his 'seizures' and the way he swayed from side to side. I dont know about pre 2000 but I remember seeing that thing along the sidelines in 2000 and 01 - my first two years.

I used to laugh my arse off at that thing. I'll never forget how it would deflate down to its head then explode back up. So stupid I couldn't help but laugh. Especially the time it shot silly string out of the top of its head all over the handicapped people on field level. That was awesome.


Dude, that was sooooo funny. I think Mr. Hugh may have been the highlight of some of the games we went to way back when. Ellis Hugh crossed the barrier of being so awful that it was entertaining:

1. Stupid Play on Words Name
2. Ejaculating on the Disabled
3. Inverting himself then springing to life with forceful bounces
4. Falling over and not being able to raise himself
5. Awkward dry humping of fans/cheerleaders

If Mike the Tiger did any of these things, I think he may have been arrested and/or replaced. Ellis does them, everyone says "what the hell is that thing and why is it ejaculating on those people?"

BTW, the video of the Raptor eating the cheerleader was awesome. I suggest for Ellis' comeback tour we incorporate some sort of cheerleader eating.
