RIP, but I'm not going to lie, the amount of attention is kind of weird. It's a mascot. Live, but still just a mascot.
He wasn't just a mascot. He was a beloved family pet...loved by a family of a million people or more. That someone can't understand the loss people feel is mind boggling.

I think what makes him different from other mascots (I mean... other than being a freaking tiger) is that he is kept on campus
students and the public can come around anytime and see LSU's real tiger mascot... really allows the LSU students and the fanbase build that relationship to the tiger
not ragging on Tennessee... it's just the circumstance I know immediately... but a UT frat goes to Smokey's owner's house, picks him up and basically is his caretaker from Friday night through the game to Sunday morning... then returns him back to his normal owner... it's just not the same
