LSU’s live mascot has gone into hospice and his vet said Mike VI will not be returning to his yard. Dr. David Baker said last week that Mike’s cancer spread all over his body and right now they want the tiger to enjoy life as long as possible in the most comfortable way…:
CUT 4 (07) “euthanasia”
The university will look into adopting another tiger, Baker said, which they’ll find through a rescue organization.

The Louisiana National Guard is assisting in Hurricane Matthew recovery efforts with 8 helicopters sent to both South Carolina and Florida. LANG spokesman Patrick Bossetta says included in the deployment are two UH-60 Blackhawks, two UH-72 Lakotas and 32 crew members, medics and maintenance support. He says that’s more than usual but Matthew was so massive:
CUT 10 (08) “long path”
He says the copters are back from Florida but four remain in South Carolina.

It’s not looking good for the LSU/Florida game to be rescheduled. One of the options that has been mentioned was for The Tigers and Gators to play on November 19th. Athletic Director Joe Alleva said he’s been in contact with the SEC and it appears that making this game happen will be extremely difficult…:
CUT 12 (09) “on November 19th”
LSU is slated to play non conference opponent South Alabama on November 19th in Tiger Stadium and Alleva emphasized several times that there WILL be a home game that day.

The Jefferson Parish School Board reportedly says they are going to consider a resolution during a meeting tomorrow night that would ban embattled parish president Mike Yenni from all schools in the parish. Many have called for Yenni’s resignation since reports surfaced that he’d sent appropriate messages to a 17-year-old boy — and Yenni even admitted it in a commercial. The school board says it doesn’t feel it’s its place to call for Yenni to resign, but he shouldn’t be around schools.
