It was amazing. He hated Mike the Tiger Mascot so they would use him to make him roar in front the student section for everyone to hear.

The 90s were literally better in almost everything.

Try living with one who roared all night about 100 yards away from you. My North Stadium dorm room in '83-'84 was about 100 yards away from Mike IV's habitat. He was the opposite of Mike VI (who came out regularly and interacted with the people). Mike IV was low key during the day but roared regularly at night. Since there were no window units in the dorm rooms, you left the windows open which left you susceptible to a noise that made the hairs on the back of you neck stand up.

1979. USC game. Players came out the tunnel and Mike was right there as they came out roaring his arse off. The USC players liked to crap their pants. Was hilarious to watch them run by that cage fearing for their lives.

The last time I saw the event was against San Jose state, Dumnardo’s last season. I always thought it was the coolest thing. My son was with me , I told him if Mike escaped from that cage, run as far away from the mascot tiger as you can. That will be the first person he goes for.
