IMO The most exciting pre-game display in college football.

LSU used to have a caged tiger on the sidelines. But gone.

College athletics are the BEST.
High school games aren't very GOOD, so it's not THAT much fun to watch them. The kids are too young to be too good.

Pro games are just too smooth and perfect, no surprises.

College games are perfect as the athletes are old and mature enough to play GOOD games but NOT so good as to make the game hohum...always possibilities of surprises in college games.
They have the ENERGY of high school and the know-how, almost, of the pros.

NOTHING in this WORLD is more exciting than a college basketball game...and I hate basketball.

Very proud of my alma mater for continuing this proud tradition. It is considered the highest possible honor at Florida State to be chosen as Chief Osceola. The man is considered a God in the community.

While not nearly in the same category as LSU, the MEMPHIS Tigers still have a live tiger in a cage on the field during games.

His name is T.O.M. (Tigers of Memphis)

Beautiful animal. Pampered and seriously cared for.

Go Tigers!
