Tzubear,

Couldn’t recollect the history of the guy on the sidelines, but can verify the accuracy of the report from AU Tiger 86: that incident happened around the same time that Billy Cannon (LSU’s lone Heisman winner) rolled a few professors outside a gay bar.

The guy on the sidelines is tolerated, much like the leprechaun on the sidelines at Notre Dame. He’s not as goofy looking as the Nebraska Big Boy or the green bear that was at Baylor for several years. Saturday nights in TIger Stadium, you can tolerate nearly anything.

Southern papa (or any other LSU fan),

If Mike is the mascot, what is the guy dressed in the mike outfit? How does LSU nation feel about the fake mike? Is he tolerated because he’s safer for the kids, or is he kept in universal contempt for infringing on the sovereignty of Mike?

Feeding it chickens during a South Carolina game would be sweet.

My room mate at Auburn’s grandfather was the faculty advisor for the crew that took care of Mike. (please note his grandson’s ability to climb the social ladder). Once back in the 50’s he nearly lost that position, because those good, but misguided students took Mike’s trailer (Read: cage on wheels), with the door open around the black part of Baton Rouge yelling, “here Mike, Mike ,Mike… Here, Mike… for about an hour.

It seem the locals were not amused.

This is sick, but I cannot turn my head and look away

Lately LSU has been featured in the pages of EDSBS, ESPN, and other journalistic endeavors. The representation of what LSU stands for is this:

Like to have Sex with U.

If you do have a live gator on the sidline, better name him Jarvis instead of Albert. Seems like he’s the only one that can stop a chicken in their tracks lately.

Just remember, the Orgebeastie was once a Tiger himself.

CrocoStimpy… I haven’t thought about that episode in years. But irishoutsider, be careful, not all of us are lucky enough to have the Lucky Charms leprechaun as our mascot.

RE #5. KT, do you mean Andy or Mike?

If you could move the whiskers up to the eyebrow area, ole Mike would be a dead ringer for Andy Rooney.

Maybe it is time to put him down….

The real albert must be forced to stand upright and wear similar rah-rah garb. You might want to think about getting a Croco-Stimpy instead.

I’ve promised myself that if I am ever rich that I am donating a few million to UF on the condition that it is used to have a real live Albert on the sidelines. (who of course lives like a king in a state of the art habitat when not chilling behind the visitor’s bench)

Didn’t the Chinese man in Booty Call give Bunz and Rushon a useful suggestion for tiger penis? I mean, I’m sure it would cost more because it’s Mike but it’s got to be cheaper than anything in a doctor’s office.

Ah, yes. My children will now be introduced to another tiger. Mike’s cage is like Mecca, we must make the Hajj to the cage once per year with the kids, or anytime we are passing thru Red Stick.
