The cage in photo, does not look animal friendly!

Better to give Mike the run of the field and one player from each team to amuse Mike for the pregame show!

The Tyger
BY WILLIAM BLAKE

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

When the stars threw down their spears
And water’d heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

I actually read the article and the comments below it. Very interesting with some humorous discussions about medical mj. LSU has a vet school, so it’s natural that they would pull out all the stops for Mikey.

That’s too bad. Our house cat has lymphoma. She was given one-three months without treatment. If she went through treatment, she might live long enough to finish the treatment. We opted to just keep her as comfortable and happy as possible for the time she has left.

Maybe not, but the cage protects Mike from dumb humans.

Very convenient. Reportedly, he hates to go to the games, unlike his predecessor who couldn’t wait to get to the stadium.

I feel bad for the mascot. I think tigers are the most beautiful of God’s animals. Very dangerous, of course, and not pets. There is a reason the most feared tank of World War 2 was called the “Tiger.”

That cage is just his game transport. LSU spent over $5MM on a new habitat for him.

Was it something in the water? The Red Tide at the beach?
