re: LSU preparing Mike's habitat in preparation for his possible August arrival

I loved that damn tiger so much. I was a sophomore at LSU when Mike V died and the campus literally mourned out in the open. Then we got Mike VI. I used to eat lunch by his habitat 2-3 times a week and watch him swim and swing on that rope thing. He died 3 days before I was coming to BR to say my last goodbyes. When he died, it was the first time my gf of 2 years saw me cry. I can't wait to meet Mike VII and welcome him into our fold. #ForeverLSU

All LSU fans love the Mikes. But every alum loves their Mike the most.

My Mike was Mike IV, and my fondest memory of him was his nighttime freedom run in 1981. I also remember my sadness at his loss in 95. Old baw lived so long that he had to abdicate and retire to the BR Zoo!

Long live Mike VII.!
He deserves to ride through Tiger Stadium!!! Screw this PC shite!
