Mike the Tiger

Mickey Guidry may be making an appearance at quarterback.

There's Mike the Tiger, and he's pretty happy right now with the way things have been going.

Here's the punt.

Fair catch called for and taken by Jackson at the 48-yard line.

Osgood hands off to that fullback across the 50.

He's down to about the 47, and that's all.

Ron Sancho, the left side linebacker, 6'3", 225 pound senior out of Avondale, as we look at Mike the Tiger saying, "Go Tigers." Rudy Harmon also in on the play.

Rudy Harmon, an SMU transfer, showing that he wants to play Tiger football.

So, uh, yeah, looks like, uh, text line's gonna go with LSU.

We're all going LSU here, uh, as Mike the Tiger and the, and the Tigers expect to get it done.

All right, a big match up here.

Third Saturday in October.

I, [laughs] I, I don't tend to pay attention beyond that, but, uh, but I do, I am a fan of live animal mascots.

Mike the Tiger.

Yeah.

And any dog.

That's what this is.

I just think it's a shame that our students at Southern have to have classes canceled because the electricity is failing over there, okay? And yet, you know, we're giving more money for Mike the Tiger.

$1.2 billion is a big gap.

And somebody needs to answer for this in the Louisiana legislature.

But if you don't try, you're not going to get anything.

And if you sit back and accept what they give you, because $1.2 billion is nothing to sneeze at.

Mike the Tiger Sanctuary is $1.2 million.

A tiger lives better than students at a university.

You wanna lose one ball? Yeah.

I can go see Mike the Tiger any time I wish, so.

[laughs]

[laughs]

No, yeah, that's right.

[laughs] Actually, pretty funny story, because, uh, my father-in-law is a veterinarian, and he, uh, worked on Mike III.

And when they were looking for the new Mike the Tiger, they, uh, there was some tiger rescue place in Indiana that was gonna offer him one that had been, uh, gelded already, and he goes, "Nope."

Oh.

And certainly it adds to the spectacle of his collegiate football.

And the Tigers looking for win number seven.

Here's the toss of the coin.

Notre Dame won the toss.

Miller will kick it off.

We call the play-by-play.

Here's the voice of the Tigers, John Ferguson.

Thank you, Walker.

They cuddle together every single night.

So when you watch LSU and you think of the Tigers, just remember, for as, uh, Mike the Tiger might be scary, but Mike Tyson sleeps next to a tiger to cuddle every single night.

I think that's a walk-off, and I think that's why you should be watching Yahoo Sports Daily, which airs from 8:00 to 10:00 AM Central Time, uh, on their livestream YouTube platform.

You could also find it on Yahoo Sports over-the-top network.

Of course, Bucky is from right here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

As you hear for the Tigers.

And he knows what this yell is like because he's watched a tremendous amount of football games, and he's watched the Tigers come out.

So in order for L- A&M to have a good game, Richardson's gotta play well.

Bert, a lot of question marks for these Tigers this year.

Defensively, a very young secondary.

They've got the talent.

And then last but not least, LSU's gonna have to stop Richardson, the hometown boy.

This magic was not an illusion, nor was it performed with tricks.

This magic was a feeling, an extraordinary power of electricity in the air when the LSU Tigers took the field.

But the magic, the feeling,

disappeared.

This year, there is a new feeling in Baton Rouge.

A coach who understands the magic.

A freshman back who stayed home with hopes of returning the Tigers to their rightful place.

Today, LSU's magical mystery tour heads north to play Mississippi State.
