LSU had a special guest in attendance for its 42-13 loss to Alabama in Week 11. Louisiana governor Jeff Landry pushed for the inclusion of a live tiger during LSU's pregame festivities, and he got his wish when an ersatz Mike the Tiger took to the sidelines in a cage prior to kickoff.

However, for this week, host Rece Davis chose Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry for the honor (which isn’t really an honor). Landry pushed for a live tiger to be on the sideline when LSU hosted Alabama this past weekend.

LSU will have a live tiger mascot on site for its big-time matchup against Alabama, but it won't be their usual mascot, Mike VII.

The Louisiana governor reportedly wants a live tiger back on the sidelines of Tiger Stadium for the first time in almost a decade.

No. 15 LSU controversially unveiled a live caged tiger in its stadium for the first time in almost a decade before they were routed 42-13 by No. 11 Alabama in their SEC showdown.

A live tiger returning to the sideline at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge for the first time since 2015 was not enough to spark a win for LSU as Alabama dominated it in a de facto College Football Playoff elimination game.

LSU having a live tiger on the field doesn't happen every week. It is rare in fact, but it is a tradition. Unfortunately, for the LSU football team, the live tiger had the best performance on Saturday according to Jeff Landry.
