They have a promo for ESPN Gameday and Mike the Tiger is in it. Well the person in the costume. He was next to I think Corso. More props for LSU.
i think it was on the ESPN heisman special.. they asked 2 analist, if there was a mascot battle royal out of Beevo (Texas), Smokey (Tennessee), UGA (Georgia), Colorodo Buffalo, Colorodo State ram, or Mike the Tiger (LSU) , who would win......on of them said the Buffalo and the other said MIKE would tear them up
Put a cow (Bevo), a coon dog (Smokey), a bulldog (Uga), a buffalo (Ralph), A ram (CSU) and a full grown Bengal Tiger into a steel cage for a WWF Death Match and then guess which one will remain standing at the end. As TNT would say UH HUH!
You're the Crimson Tide. Know where that name came from? A tiger and an elephant were trying to drink from the same spot. The Tiger wanted it all to himself.

Well, as Paul Harvey would say, here's the rest of the story: For years afterward, everytime the Tiger came to drink, they would see a red elephant slinking away with his short tail between his legs.
