And yet we’re still National champs and they aren’t.

Oohhh, you got me there.

I am but a small G5 program attorney. LSU's ways and means confuse and frighten me.

I wasn’t replying to you stupid arse. Unless your alter is Tigernurse. Is it?

I was responding to the redundant complaint about Mike not being drug to games.

This is really sad. Tony the truck stop tiger lived to be 18, are these colleges not feeding their tigers enough cigarettes?

His travel enclosure is fundamentally soundproof, and he started going to games at a really young age. So they were probably normal life for him. TOM worked on the same system Mike does, they open the trailer and he gets to decide if he wants to go.

I’m going to miss the big guy, and the university is reporting that he is the last live mascot ending a 50 year sideline tradition.

You're both wrong. It's pretty easy to find the newer "secret" location on Google Maps. It's not in Collierville and it's not bigger than Mike the Tiger's setup at LSU. Collierville location was ditched years ago. Tom the Tiger
Either way, I hope they keep up the live tiger tradition at Memphis even if they keep fooling themselves that their secret tiger location is impossible to find.
