Put a live goat in the cage and let Mke at it. Then parade him around the stadium while he's eating.

With the south endzone enclosed, the smoke takes longer to escape and makes it so you can hardly see anything

That only happened at the 1st home game. They've re-done something with the fireworks and the smoke is not a problem any longer.

What makes you think that? Look at the PMAC.

It's quite possible this is the last tiger - and no doubt it would be if we start freaking him out by forcing him to get into a tiny cage and paraded around 100,000 screaming drunk Cajuns.

It's not easy getting tigers anymore, you don't just call up the Nairobi Walmart and order one.

He's a 500 pound wild apex predator, for chrissakes, he's pretty much going to do what he wants to do.




There are more Tigers held in captivity in the state of Texas alone than there are in the wild... We could get another Tiger if needed...

The Philadelphia Zoo has a great walkway set up for the tigers and they seem to love it. They were out and about it walking above everyone without a bother. I think it would be cool to have a walkway go into the stadium. What do you think?


Big Cat Crossing

Maybe have a path that lets him walk along the roof at the PMAC?

I think you have LSU mixed up with the Tiger Truck Stop. LSU will always have a live tiger mascot.

He's paraded around the stadium before the team comes out and then parked in front of the visitor's chute. Football team runs out before the visitors so he is there when the "fireworks" are set off.


yep you're right. I was thinking he was pulled off before, but as I recall the trailer is parked along the east side of the field as the opponent comes out.

Really? A tiger sleeping in a cage?

How intimidating.

How? Keep in mind that it is illegal to buy or sell a tiger.

Also there was a lot of scrutiny when this Mike was acquired, if we start doing stupid frat tricks with our tigers, we will be cut off from acquiring new ones.

Vet school asked AD in the offseason if they could refrain from using fireworks near the tiger. AD said no.



Because when players get interviewed about their experience at DV, they talk about the fricking fireworks.

I can buy that Joe would pick gay arse fire works over a true LSU tradition. The fire works fricking suck, id rather have mike and the cannon back.
