I saw the thread about the changing of LSU's colors, so it inspired me to look up other LSU traditions, and I came across this one:

quote:

After a new search for a mascot is announced, the public eagerly anticipates white smoke blowing from the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, announcing that the new tiger has been located, mimicking the white smoke which billows from the Sistine Chapel when a new Pope is elected.[6]


I've never heard about this one. Has anybody ever seen/heard about it?

Don't remember this from the last search, but would be awesome.

Wikipedia, which is part of the reason I was trying to see if there were any witnesses on here to confirm/dispute the sauce

That's so played out.

It's been time to move on.

Hmm, I see your point. That sauce is unreliable.

PETA is going to blow out that smoke very quickly. We have seen the last live mascot at LSU.

You have to have a minimum of five thousand posts before I will do a ban bet with you.

I'm sorry the cold hard truth offends so many here. I volunteer with PETA. We won't allow this to happen.

You're such a troll. PETA doesn't have a say in any of this.

Why does your crew kill so many animals? Do you have absolutely no conscious at all?

really? you don't have the authority to do that sir. it is you and your overzealous organization that is pissing into the wind.

this being an issue is bull shite. y'all are making it one for publicity and fund raising. you should be ashamed of yourselves; there are many necessary and worthwhile animal related issues that need attention and help.

it's a shame that "rattling your sword" is used to raise money. maybe dumb stances like this are what's hurting your fund raising; maybe excessive salaries and expenses are a culprit, but I think you should capitalize on worthy animal issues and publicize those. that should increase fundraising. just to list a few.......

unwanted and abandoned family pets; illegal exotic pets that represent dangers to other animals (including people); mistreated farm animals, etc, etc.

the very name PETA has been tarnished with millions of people; people that are animal lovers like me. it seems the "radicals" have taken over and care more about feathering their own nest than the treatment of animals. your board of directions need to clean house, alter your agenda and change your name; ie, start over.
