mascot that gets in the cage and intimidates the opponent
You seriously believe that a tiger riding around the field in a cage intimidates the opponent? Do you also believe that if he escaped, he'd bypass LSU fans and attack only the opponents?

Won't come to any more games until the offense makes it worth the time.... Too frustrating even for our awesome mascot

Former Alabama defensive end Marcell Dareus was terrified of it when he made the trip to Death Valley in 2010.
“That thing, that thing scared the life out of me,” he said at the time.

A big performance against the Tigers would surely boost Manziel's chances of winning a second consecutive Heisman Trophy, but he'll have to conquer one of the game's great home-field advantages. For opponents, perhaps there is no better symbol of the intimidation factor at LSU than the school's live tiger mascot, Mike.

Weren't prior Mike's positioned outside of the visitors locker room?

I know a guy who played for Bama in the 80's. He told me that Mike was parked on side of the tunnel where the opposing team ran out. He said that the Bama players would tease Mike to get a reaction out of him. He said that the tiger would growl at them and they would tease him even more. He said that they had to stop when a guy in LSU gear and a police deputy told them to leave the tiger alone. He told me that they were never afraid of Mike and he thought it was pretty cool how Mike was paraded around the stadium with the LSU cheerleaders on top of the cage. He also liked when the cheerleaders would make Mike roar in a microphone in front of the student section.

They don't fear of being eaten alive but it's got to be a little intimidating.
Hell, the Huskies practiced with a live tiger to prepare for their trip to LSU. That's gotta tell you something.
