That's my point about actually making it part of his routine during the season - not every day, but maybe Tuesdays and Thursdays (and Saturdays) - put his food in there and get him in the habit of eating, or at least going in there to get the food. Then, it will be no big deal when they close the gate, every now and then, and take him to the stadium.

Sorry if it's been discussed but I noticed he didn't circle the field before the game and figured that had to be the only reason. I saw somewhere they were practicing new loading techniques a while back, guess they were ineffective


frick him, get a Honey Badger! I bet that little nasty bastard gets in the cage!

Mike is a female.

Have you ever seen him? If he's female, she has extra parts that are clearly visible.

Too bad he's not likely to ever get any. He's mixed breed so they can't use him for breed conservation purposes.

And you think it gives any more fricks than a 500-lb tiger?

Not to meation LSU would never get a female.

They even shot down an offered neutered one.

more cautious, so he may be a little less likely to go.


I don't see why we can't throw an obnoxious opposing fan in there and see if we can entice him.
Of course don't feed him for a couple days first.

(ETA: Are you one of the ones involved in the backstory behind it?)

It would be weird to have a female Mike.
