LSU Identifies Possible Mike VII

David Baker, DVM, Ph.D., LSU’s Attending Veterinarian, has identified a tiger at a rescue facility that could become Mike VII. This juvenile, male rescue tiger is currently 9 months old and weighs approximately 160 pounds. The tiger has both Siberian and Bengal characteristics.
LSU will announce in advance the day and time that the tiger will be out in his yard for the first time.
LSU cannot state at this time exactly when the tiger will arrive or when he will be introduced to the LSU community, as these details depend upon construction completion, travel arrangements and the quarantine/acclimation period.
This young tiger is in need of a new home. He currently resides at a sanctuary formerly known as “Animal Adventures” in Okeechobee, Fla.; this facility has undergone a change in ownership and is now “Wild at Heart Wildlife Center.” In an effort to improve the facility and operation, and reestablish compliance with state and federal animal care regulations, the new owner has initiated several improvements, including reducing the number of resident animals, requiring many of its animals to be sent elsewhere. This tiger is being donated to LSU by this facility.

You need to give up this tiger nonsense and get a real mascot that can actually attend games.
How can you not love Smokey?

Our mascot (Bert IV) will eat that poor kitty for breakfast.

Because after the 38th time that band plays "Rocky Top", I'm willing to stab anything remotely having anything to do with Tennessee, checkerboards, or the color orange.
Seriously. Learn a new song. Try "The Horse".

Is his original name cooler than Roscoe? I bet it's not.
Same Siberian/Bengal mix though. Gonna be a big boy.

According to the thread on the Rant, we think his name is Rocky!

You know that's what he will say.
