If you could go back in time, would you have given LSU a different mascot?

Here's my argument. There are 7 Div. 1 schools with the "tiger" mascot (three in the SEC alone). So there's nothing really special about it. When you say "Tigers" in Louisiana people know you're talking about LSU. But when you go out of state and say "tigers," you could be talking about anyone.

However, it doesn't matter where you are...when you say "longhorns," or "fighting Irish," or "Aggies," or "Gators," or "gamecocks," or "Boilermakers," or "buckeyes," you know exactly what school you are talking about. Should LSU have picked a more defining mascot?

There's only one Tiger, and his name is Mike. All others are imposters.

No one responds to "who are you a fan of?" With "the Tigers" like they may say "Saints". You'd just say "LSU"

Outside of LA people still respect the real tigers are the LSU Tigers.

fighting Irish,


I always thought it was weird and kinda cool to have a nationality as a mascot. I'd make it the "LSU fightin' Swedes".

Or the fighting Finnish, we start ok but we Finnish strong!!

You mean to tell me there's no way we could have picked a more unique mascot that "tigers?"

I would've given them the mascot "the all inclusives" to show that there is strength in our diversity and love. If that won't intimidate the heck out of the opposing team, I just don't know what will.
