re: Who here has been in TS when Mike the real Tiger was pulled around the stadium in a cage.

I was. Best mascot related event in the history of college football. I've missed it from the minute they quit doing it. I remember the "roaring Mike", a few Mike's ago that would roar almost on que and would scare the @$%&! out of the visiting team when he was parked right where they entered the stadium at the Southeast portal. Glory days!
