Walked by Mike's cage after class today and saw they were repainting the back wall and working on the windows by Mike's little water pond.

Nice!

Do those windows just crack every year?

Dunno but I guess they wanna make sure they're okay cuz if one of those windows breaks on gameday, Mike's gonna have some human lunchmeat

Yeah, I'm definitely glad they fix them. It just always seems like somewhere during the middle of the season, the cracks re-appear.

I went by the tiger cage 2 weekends ago and noticed the windows were leaking at the bottom. The entire concrete floor along with the bottom 2 inches of columns were soaked w/ greenish water. It looked terrible. Glad they are fixing it.

Gosh how many millions for Mike's crib? Who was the contractor? Is he making good on these repairs?

Truth is, it was built for a much smaller tiger.

Cross your fingers if there's another "earthquake game" guys.


Hopefully Mike will be safely in his cage to witness it.
