Smokey is awesome, the actual dog not the costumed sideline nerd.

Bleacher Report; same place that brought us Parker Boudreaux's douchetastic commit video and general laughable fan based sports reporting for years.

"Earlier this year, Smokey won Paul Finebaum's competition and was named the SEC's top live mascot. The poll was done via social media support by Vol Nation. Smokey defeated Texas A&M's Reveille in the finals but also won against Mississippi State's Bully and Arkansas' Tusk."



That sentence alone sums it up!

wouldn't that favor Mike by such a large margin that the rest would be enough to overcome the advantage?

Smokey is meh but not as bad as UGA. Personally, I like the colorization in States bulldog more than the solid white. Mike takes the cake and it's not even close. First off, it's a fricking tiger...a TIGER! Secondly, his name is Mike. Don't know the story behind the name but I mean come on, a tiger with a human name is pretty cool to me

In 1934, a decision had been made that would forever change life on the LSU campus. Athletic Director trainer Chellis Mike Chambers, Athletic Director T.P. Heard, swimming pool manager and intramural swimming coach William G. Hickey Higginbotham, and LSU law student Ed Laborde decided to bring a real tiger to LSU. They raised $750, collecting twenty-five cents from each student, and purchased a two-hundred-pound, one-year old tiger from the Little Rock Zoo.

Born on October 10, 1935, and like his father, originally named Sheik, his name was changed to Mike in honor of Chambers, the man most responsible for bringing him to LSU.

God, I hate that bear. So fricking much pressure. "Only YOU can prevent forest fires." Why me? Why not that jackass down the road who sits around all day watching game shows while I'm working my arse off to provide for my family? frick Smokey.


Now to check the link and share my thoughts on that page as well.

Smokey's one darn good hound dog and that's a fact.
