re: Uga, Smokey, Bevo - just some of the live mascots still on field. WHY NOT MIKE?!?

I loved having Mike in the stadium and it happened for decades. In fact, they used to take him to some road games until his trailer unhitched in route to a game and he wound up in the ditch. I'll always remember the Bear and Bama taking their pre-game walk around the whole stadium and coming to that Tiger cage. The " Bear " vs Mike da Tiger.
