I remember hearing the story (from quiet a few years ago) where they were transporting Mike (to maybe a close road game) and the lock on the cage came undone but the gate remained closed but he could have gotten out going down the road. Imagine that scenario ??


A few years? It has to be at least 50 years since they took Mike to a road game. I certainly can’t recall that in my lifetime. I would think maybe only a Tulane game or Sugar Bowl if then?

I always dug the old art deco design of the stadium trailer cage. With AI advances, maybe we can someday soon get like a holographic representation of him in there and pull it through the stadium again.

What a f*cking moron you are. How about we put you in Mike’s enclosure, and we can see who’s soft.

Why don't you climb into Mike's enclosure when he's hungry and see how much of a "pussycat" he is.

Apparently, there are more morons than just Jeff Landry that give a shite about this.

No, you son of a bitch, you do not disparage Mike.

SEPT 5 - 2015 Persistent lightning strikes near Baton Rouge caused officials to cancel the Tigers' opener with McNeese State on Saturday night following a delay of nearly four hours.
Ironically, I believe this may have been the last time Mike was in the stadium..

Did he write that in his journal? how would we know what a tiger likes?


It’s why the whole storyline about Mike wanting to get in the trailer/not wanting to get in the trailer before each game was such BS. He didn’t know if he was going to the game, going to the vet, or going to service some horny tigress in Arkansas.

Let's just put shaq in the cage, have him roar, and step out with his imposing 7 foot frame intimidating the visitors.

Congratulations you now have one of the stupidest takes I’ve ever seen on here.

Love visiting Mike. Think it’s awesome that LSU has a great habitat for him. Yall are f’ing r****ded if you are calling a solitary hunter a pussy bc it doesn’t want to be trotted out in a cage in a loud stadium for games. Tigers and buffalo and eagles are completely different animals with completely different behavior.

So... we let him roam free? The crowd gets to see the tiger. Mike doesn't have to worry about the cage. Sounds like everyone wins.

No one seems to have noticed the students in the stands. They’re all wearing pajamas. It used to be tradition for freshmen in ROTC to where pajamas to the first game.
