Associated Press article on Yahoo Sports

quote:

But the home of a live Tiger named Mike, who sits in his cage on the field before games, right in front of the tunnel to the visitor's locker room so opposing players must move past him to warmup, was the runaway No. 1 in these rankings.

Someone sent in a question to SVP and Russillo the other day asking if money was no object and they were just graduating HS, where would they attend college.

Russillo answered LSU immediately and SVP eventually chose LSU over UGA.

Only when Mike feels like it. He doesn't always cooperate with getting into the cage trailer.

This.

When Mike doesn't get the ride around TS, it was because he wouldn't get into the trailer.

Doesn't even wait until halftime to leave.
A True LSU fan!

To be fair, he probably felt bad for SHSt and didn't want to scare them and give LSU an even bigger advantage.
On the other hand, I wouldn't want to watch games vs SHSt either.

Which seems to be about 3 times a year now. Mike is a lazy cat.

Probably has something to do with this being the biggest Mike. Nobody is going to "persuade" Roscoe.

Probably has more to do with animal rights groups these days. I'm sure in the past he was somewhat enticed or lured into the trailer.

That is the biggest thing I miss about the last Mike.



The roar on command.

The old Mike sure did roar at the mascot Mike everytime he saw him.

Roscoe.

Or, more accurately, Rosceaux.
