Nick Saban's statue in front of Bryant-Denny Stadium got an ornament of sorts before Saturday's prime-time matchup between No. 4 Alabama and No. 2 LSU.
The bronzed Saban, knees bent and hands frozen mid-clap, holds a stuffed tiger tonight.
From the right angle, it looks as if the image of Alabama's head coach (formerly coach of LSU from 2000-04) is both strangling and spanking the tiger.

Meanwhile, Mike the Tiger -- an actual tiger, mind you -- spent his day back in Baton Rouge, La.
