Will Mike VI make an appearance at LSU home games this season?


Mike VI rivals "Tony the Tiger" as the most beloved tiger in the entire state of Louisiana.
Case in point, Mike VI has nearly 13,000 followers on his Twitter page. The beautiful Bengali-Siberian hybrid is not only an aesthetically-pleasing animal, but also a source of pride for all fans of LSU.
However, Mike VI doesn't necessarily enjoy all of the attention.
According to Chelsea Brasted of The Times-Picayune, there's no guarantee the tiger will make an appearance at any home games in 2015. He was a no-show all of last season, and has only been to 32 of a possible 57 home games since becoming the official mascot in 2007. It's literally a game-day decision as to whether Mike VI will walk into his traveling carriage or not.
Maybe a couple of juicy steaks would do the trick? It shouldn't be too hard to find some excellent barbecue tailgating outside of Tiger Stadium.
