Re: Mike VI To N.O. Found this on LSUsports.net "The Tiger mascot stopped traveling with the LSU team in 1970 when his cage overturned on Airline Highway in an accident en route to a game. Mike IV traveled four times in recent years, though, as he appeared at a Mardi Gras parade in 1984, the 1985 Sugar Bowl and LSU's basketball games in the Superdome. Mike V made his first road trip in December 1991 to the Louisiana Superdome to witness te LSU men's basketball team with Shaquille O'Neal defeat Texas, 84-83."
Re: Mike VI To N.O. Somebody here emailed the Vet in charge of Mike's care and he said that Mike was not going to NO
Re: Mike VI To N.O. Add to all of the factors of him not going to NO, the incident last week in the San Francisco Zoo.
I spoke to him and he said that he wasn't needed and he preferred his comfy million dollar house without all the hassle of the New Orleans hotel situation. He said that a buckeye is such a stupid mascot that he didn't want to embarrass tOSU by showing them how lame they are. He's already conferred with the team and he is comfortable they're fired up and ready. His final comment was GEAUX TIGERS!!
I say we continue to say we won't bring him and when no one is expecting it have him waiting outside the OSU tunnel at kickoff :tigereye:
You probably heard this because during the Sugar Bowl when they were showing UGA's Bulldog, one of the commentators said something about LSU having Mike at the :crystal: game. When I heard him say it I figured some LSU fans would believe him and spread it around.
