It's hilarious that he had to do stupid stunts like get a noise machine and Tiger for practice.

Why would you want to create those distractions for your players? He should have been focused on how his guys are going to block Montgomery, Mingo and Johnson.

He's obviously scared that the stage is too big for them. And he's right.

It's actually pretty common for coaches to use noise machines or to pipe in loud music when they're about to play at a loud and hostile venue.

The tiger thing is a bit of a stretch but I guess I can understand that he didn't want his players' first close up encounter with a tiger to be right before a major football game starts

Oh I agree it won't matter. Just saying that the music thing is fairly normal. And that I guess I see his logic with the tiger thing.

But like Les said. The mascot will not be the issue

You can hardly see Mike in his game day cage even when you're right next to it.

He doing everything he can to pull the upset- its called good coaching- give the guy a break

It will most likely be a long day for him but give him an A for effort

And note to the Tigers- Don't come out flat like last week this team has a QB that can burn you

Its early season and a loss here doesn't do much to hurt UW's season. What their coach is doing is called preparation. To believe a coach is "scared" is foolish. Coaches don't go into games "scared" maybe concerned would be a better word to explain his feelings. I'd think CLM feels the same concern. He's got much more at stake.

I'd be scared too if I was playing the reigning SEC Champions.

slightly off topic, but this reminds me...who was the UF WR who referred to Mike as "that lion"

doubt that seriously....the noise thing is common practice and the 'tiger thing' is him telling us, "big fricking deal."

bullshite....he's got a veteran team and the only thing he may be worried about is how his beat-up oline will handle our front seven.

we have our own issues and total support from those in Tiger Stadium will be huge.
