Governor Landry is urging LSU to bring out its live mascot, Mike The Tiger, to football games. Piper Hutchinson broke the story for the Louisiana Illuminator. She says having Mike The Tiger in a cage on the football field was a tradition that was halted in 2017.
Cut 9 (12) “…him very uncomfortable.”
Landry and three other conservative officials who are also veterinarians recently met with the dean of the school of veterinary medicine, Oliver Garden. It was during that meeting when Landry made the request. Among the other officials present was Minden Representative Wayne McMahen, who Hutchinson says was very skeptical of whether Landry’s request was a good idea.
Cut 10 (09) “…tiger new tricks.”
This latest request comes on the heels of Landry urging LSU and other state schools to have their athletes present during the playing of the national anthem and revoking scholarships for those who refuse to do so. Hutchinson says this will likely not be the last time that Landry involves himself in LSU athletics matters.
Cut 11 (15) “…the team’s business.”
LSU says just like with the anthem, it has no plans to alter its current protocol with Mike The Tiger.
