Unfortunately, you are probably correct.

I was just looking through my pictures of Mike. I would always take way too many on my way to study/class.
Hope he gets better

What is lifespan for each?
When was first uga, mike, etc?
Pure curiosity. I think live mascots are one of the many reasons college sports are awesome.

UGA I- 1956
Mike I - 1936
There have been 4 interim UGAs
to think Mike II only was at LSU for 2 years.

RE: PETA & the previous effort to replace Mike V...

Doubt we'll have much issue here. The actual rescue center we got him from last time had him confined to a 20x30 concrete pen. He'd never even seen grass prior to arriving here.
The question is whether F King Alexander bends to the "optics," of the issue...

Mike II (1956–1958)[edit]
A few days after Mike I's death, a resolution endorsing the purchase of another tiger was introduced in the Louisiana legislature and a fund was set up by LSU students to underwrite the cost. Mike II had a short but somewhat mysterious life. He was born on February 28, 1956 at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans and was chosen because his paws were larger than those of the other cubs.[4] He was unveiled on September 29, 1956, during the opening game of the new football season. Legend has it that less than a month after his arrival at LSU, Mike II died of pneumonia, at only eight months of age, during a six-game losing streak and that a second Mike II was secretly brought in as a ringer. To explain Mike's absence, and after much rumor, the LSU student newspaper, The Daily Reveille, printed a statement that the young tiger needed time alone to adjust to his new home and position as mascot, with its attendant excitement. All rumors of Mike II's death and replacement were denied. The official story is that Mike II reigned for only one football season before his death on May 15, 1958 in Audubon Zoo of complications associated with multiple fractures to his left rear leg.[4]

Hopefully they can make his last year or two very comfortable.

1. LSU has a vet school that can learn how to treat tigers better through helping Mike VI.
2. They won't let Mike go through a painful ordeal. There's too much respect for that animal to let him suffer.
He is treated like a king.
