Louisiana's Gov. Jeff Landry proposed bringing LSU's live mascot, Mike the Tiger, back into Tiger Stadium before football games. This request has started quite the debate amongst Tiger fans and has even gained the attention of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
A family in Baton Rouge, Louisiana recently visited the habitat for "Mike The Tiger" at LSU, and when the Bengal Tiger saw the kid it put on a show for everyone.
When is a sports movie not a sports movie? When it focuses on the mascot and not the team. LSU's Mike the Tiger is the subject of such a film in the works right now.
LSU plans to have a new live tiger mascot on campus by August, replacing one that died in October following months of treatment for a rare form of cancer.
If you are wondering why LSU head football coach Les Miles looks upset, it is because of what Mike The Tiger is doing in this new commercial for NCAA Football '13 by EA Sports. Watch this awesome commercial after the jump.
