that has a live tiger as a mascot? There has to be at least a dozen Div-1 teams and who knows how many div-1AA teams that are the tigers.

I have heard that at one time, Memphis' live tiger was Mike V's brother... don't know if it is true or if they still have the same tiger.

I believe LSU, Memphis and Southern are the only colleges with live big cat mascots.

From your link:

Tiger fans can take pride in the fact that TOM III receives a level of care unsurpassed by any private facility in the nation.


I can think of one such facility.

Ah, hell, "private." Way to go Memphis, you knew we were better than you.

Was I the only one thinking they were seeing things recently on a Memphis TV game where they showed the tiger mascot in his cage at a game and there was a hole in the tiger's cage where the kids could pet him. He was even licking their hands. I was like WTF??
