Stop me when you’ve heard this before, a Louisiana politician is wildly misusing resources that could be otherwise put towards a better cause.
Thursday afternoon LouisianaSports.net reported that, at the urging of Louisiana governor Jeff Landry, LSU will once again have a live tiger on the field prior to kickoff...except it won’t even be Mike the Tiger.
LSU hasn’t brought Mike out for a football game in over 10 years. The tradition stopped after the 2015 season when Mike VI died from cancer in 2016. LSU’s current Mike, Mike VII, has never attended a game, and I’m not sure they’ve even tried to bring him to Tiger Stadium.
