    When I was a kid, living in Galveston, I was evacuated in a duck during hurricane Carla. After they picked us up, the last stop was at the neighborhood bar where a bunch of drinkers were riding out the storm.

    Mike III (1958-76)


    Mike III, was purchased from the Seattle zoo, was born on November 26, 1957, and arrived at LSU in late August 1958.

    The LSU student body raised $1,500 for his purchase and transportation (though the final purchase price was only $950, with an additional $100 for transportation). A five-cent “tradition fee” was assessed each student for the tiger’s care.

    Mike died of pneumonia on August 12, 1976, after the only losing football season of his lifetime.

    Mike IV (1976-90)

    [​IMG]

    Mike IV was born at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Fla., on May 15, 1974. He was donated to LSU in 1976, by August A. Busch, III. He arrived at LSU on August 29, 1976.

    Mike spent the summer of 1981 at the Little Rock Zoo while his enclosure was being expanded from 400 to 1,100 square feet. Money for the expansion was raised from the LSU Student Government Association, the Athletic Department, LSU fans, and a fee of $2 per student.

    In 1981, pranksters cut the chain to the outer door and the lock to the inner cage door of the enclosure, releasing Mike. LSU police called Dr. Bivin around 1 a.m. to tell him that Mike was in the middle of North Stadium Drive. He wandered into the Bernie Moore Track Stadium, where Dr. Bivin shot him with a tranquilizer pistol (it took three shots to sedate him). He was safely returned to his enclosure.

    In 1990, Mike developed a neurologic problem that resulted in mild lameness and since he was getting on in years and was beginning to slow down, the Baton Rouge Zoo took him in until his condition worsened, and he became severely disabled. Mike IV was put to sleep on March 3, 1995.

    Mike V (1990-2007)

    Mike V was born October 19, 1989, and came to LSU when he was four months old. Mike V was donated to LSU by the Animal Zoological Park in Moulton, Ala.

    He was moved into his home, north of Tiger Stadium, and introduced to LSU fans at the LSU-Alabama basketball game in February 1990. When Mike V first came to LSU, his night house was part of the original habitat constructed in 1937.

    Mike V underwent three medical procedures: two root canals and one benign tumor removal. All procedures were done at the LSU SVM. Mike V passed away on May 18, 2007, of renal failure.

    3-6 matchup like us; if you win, like us, likely to travel; 0-2 vs Q1, 1-3 vs Q1-Q2, 2 Q4 losses

    Y’all should get this one.
