Exactly.

Unlike oak trees, tigers don't live very long to begin with.

Oak trees can live up to 500 years. Takes a while for them to get to full size.

You can have a new tiger in no time.

And if one of LSU's "rivals" killed Mike and made a martyr out of him that would only make LSU's resolve that much stronger.

Fortunately LSU doesn't have any "rivals" that would do such a thing. The Aggies are unlikely to brand Mike. They'd have to beat us first. Ole Miss has never messed with Mike that I can recall. Tulane did a long time ago but that'll never happen again.

A better equivalent would be Mike slowly dying for 2 years from poisoning. All the side effects are visible, but there is nothing LSU can do about it until they finally decide to put him down. Then Mike gets replaced a few years later.

I have a feeling that scenario might not sit well with LSU fans if it happened.

Holy shite.


If we had an elephant I would rather have him live rather than us winning a MNC. Killing Mike? That's just brutal.

Good point.

The agony comes from the slow drawn out death that you're helpless to stop. Like if you've lost a loved one to a years long battle with cancer.

Easy to say when you've had 3 NC's in the past 4 years. I'd rather an elephant than another NC at this point too!

They had one at one time. I've seen video of it from the 70's I believe.

I believe they got rid of it because it shite everywhere and stunk.

Understandable.

I saw it on a shirt one time. I just found a picture, and I think I got the words mixed up.

It honestly wouldn't be the best decision to put a full grown elephant in BDS, especially with all those loud noises. Plus we couldn't keep it on campus.
