Our current Mike is far larger than any Bengal Mike we ever had. He simply does not want to go into that small cage. We should quit trying to get him to do that and never get another half Siberian Tiger again. They are too big.


Why can't we build a bigger trailer for him? Like going from 92k to 102k?

Make it a double Decker with a nice golden fountain, baby pool and water ball ...Curved HDTV's - Wet bar the works...Lets do it right or not at all...

If Mike VI won't go to the games, then maybe it is time to move on to Mike VII.

i miss this so much im graduating this spring and can't remember hardly any games since I've been hear that he has cam to the game. I remember the previous mike coming all the time and i loved it.



PLEASE do not tell me you are about to matriculate from Louisiana State University!!! If you are, don't tell anyone. You have been "HEAR" ... that he has "CAM" or even "CAME" to the game... ???

Try.. been "HERE" that he has "COME" to the game.

Maybe the Vet school can train Mike VII to swipe his paw at visiting team players as they run by the cage.

It's amazing the amount of animal rightsy puddins in this thread. Make that fricker get in there and get used to it. Guess what? A horse don't like to be ridden the first time either. My dog used to freak the frick out when I put his shock collar on to go outside too. They are animals. You train them. Most stuff that isn't "natural", they don't like at first. Get over it.

It's not the Tiger necessarily. They put him in the daily to keep him comfortable with it

If he can't do his job, boot him out of his cushy condo and back to the sticks and find one that will go to the games.

Sounds like Mike has a touch of the culture.

I saw him eating ole miss the other day, why can't they just feed him some elephant's arse on 11/8, but put it in his cage, hmmmm,

"here kitty, kitty, come get some of this delicious elephant's arse, just for you...yummy for your tummy, just step right into this cage Kitty Kat"

That would work, maybe someone in vet skool can go over and prod the freakin handlers. I think they the ones that need the cattle prod, not Mikey...


Apparently, Tigers aren't motivated by food that way. At least that is what the facebook page said.

Why is "cage" capitalized. It's not a proper noun. Oh, and if Mike doesn't want to go to the game, Mike doesn't go to the game.

Think people underestimate how hard it is to get a fricking tiger in the first place. They're not a dog, it's not like taking a trip to the pound.

Put his arse in that damn cage and don't feed him for two weeks. I bet your arse he roars

If I want to make Cage a noun, it's a noun. :)

The bottom line is, it's best to have him comfortable being inside the trailer / cage. This is why I suggest a significant renovation of his trailer. Make it bigger, make it fun, make it awesome in every way where he practically leaps inside it.

Then we have an HD camera right on him where Tiger fans can watch him play inside his trailer on the screens in the South end zone.

Visualize people!!!

If I had real money, this would be a done deal.

Good point, a bigger cage is a good idea
