That's not how it works. LSU will select a grown, yet still juvenile, 2 or 3 year old that has been proven to respond well to trainers and behaves well.



got all that but if the tiger won't get inside of the trailer to go to the stadium, is that really a good choice?

isn't that his role other than a rep for LSU?

He wasn't always like that, and they really have no way of knowing how he'll respond to game day situations until after they've committed to getting him.

But, I think the more important thing to them is a well-behaved tiger. Shying away from the stadium beats the shite out of mauled trainers and/or fans.

i dont want Mike in the stadium anyway. hes a fricking tiger, putting him in the middle of 100,000 screaming drunks for 5 hours has to be awful.

why do we have Mike anyway? is it because we love him, or is it to be cruel to him?

Yes, it is. frick that trailer and frick anyone who thinks its normal to lock him up and make him deal with 100,000 insane drunks yelling. We have a human mascot for that. Mike the actual tiger needs to remain in his lush, beautiful, expensive habitat at all times. frick that trailer.

And yes, if we can get the truck stop tiger out of that hell hole he's currently in, I say its a definite win for everyone, especially the tiger.
