Maybe you are too young to know, but Mike V had a great presence at games. He would roar into the microphone before almost every game and having a tiger parked next to where the visiting team enters tiger stadium is intimidating.

I always thought that whole thing was overplayed. Heck, didn't the cheerleaders ride on top of his cage? Hard to believe many college football players could see that and be terrified. Of course I'm sure there are always a few with specific phobias and such.
