Be like Mike: Tryouts scheduled for costumed LSU tiger mascot

Practice that walk, those moves, that roar. A mascot tryout will bring out the tiger in one lucky LSU fan soon.

The athletic department will hold tryouts for its next Mike the Tiger costumed mascot, the university announced Friday on Twitter:

Wanna be like Mike? Well here's your chance to be Mike! Tryouts are April 21-23. Email pzernott@lsu.edu for more information. #ALLMike pic.twitter.com/gJSxzrHhgN

Those tryouts will take place from April 21 to 23.

This mascot, which has (spoiler alert) a human inside, isn’t the same as the iconic live tiger mascot for LSU football.
