Mike the Tiger has been Euthanized

[Firearmfanatic]

Firearmfanatic, you may want to go back and read what you posted. That is exactly what is sounds like you are saying in the part I made bold.
So what does "I am into men" mean?

The part in bold is not what I posted, Austin edited that in. What was in my original post basically stated that I prefer Alabama Crimson Tide and I said "Roll Tide, Roll". I am just not an lsu fan.

So Austin wasn't incorrect?

Ok you need some sensitivity training Mr sexual orientation shaming is a no no.



At least that's what HR keeps telling me.

Fun fact: I actually re-took that training last week haha! And the ethics training!

Sowwy if I offended anyone and sorry that you're a Bama fan. At least you have good taste in guns! :]

No, he was inncorrect in stating that I am "into men". I am not like that and dont want people to think that I am.
I like Alabama is all. Not really a big fan of any college team to be honest.

OP, sorry for your thread getting derailed.
Now, lets please get this thread back on topic if we can.

How do we know this is really you?

There is one heck of a course. Ethics was a required course for me in college. It really tought me to think outside of my own bias and think in terms of who am I responsible to in making decisions and forming opinions.

Sorry for the diversion.

There WILL be another Mike. You can take that to the bank. The same bank where the $4 million dollars for the enclosure came from. The same bank where the bazillion dollar Lazy River swimming park on campus came from.

LSU is the state school; but that place is a money pit! It is poorly managed! Poorly run! And the fiscal priorities there are really upside down. They over pay for everything! Just like the state government!

If they even announce how much the next Mike will cost, I am willing to bet it is more than the going rate for rescued tigers!

 

[Moparman440]

So, now that Mike the Tiger has been euthanized, now what can we do about Mike the "Yenni"?

 

[Emperor]

I particularly like the ones that drive the purple and gold trucks, have lsu tattoos, etc yet have never stepped foot in an lsu classroom or paid for a child to go there. I watch them every weekend and just shake my head. If miles put Harris in one more time I think they would have been bailing off the top of the stadium

Chauvinist Comment Alert:

None of the Faux fans is more pathetic than the women who also, not only did not attend LSU or have or had a family member attending, but buys all of the LSU crap and LSU swag; pretends they like all of the fanfare; goes to all of the functions and tailgates, but couldn't tell you the difference between a football and a blimp.

Are people that needy?

Yes

Yes

I was being facetious!

This country is already gone!

Can't disagree with that. The writers of Idiocracy were profets they just got the time table wrong and kind of exaggerated (but only slightly).

Obviously, yes, they are. I have friends like that who are just "over the top" with purple & gold; I just nod my head and ignore it. Personally, I went to grad school at LSU, but never succumbed to or even understood "tiger mania."

Any Tiger we decide to make into Mike VII will be a tiger from a rescue organization here in the US. We will argueably offer better care than the majority of captive large cats in the country/world. The next Mike, if there is one, will never have a chance to be a wild tiger again (if it ever was).

I don't advocate capturing and domesticating wild animals, the exact opposite actually, but the next Mike will be getting top quality care.

Who pays for all that care?

 

[Whitebread]

Who pays for all that care?

Now I have never seen LSU's books but I know the concepts pretty well. I was an auditor that delt with these sorts of entities. I think the tiger and the water park and the stadium are all paid through "private" Funds. Another words no tax money. It's what's known as fund accounting. The money that goes towards the "frills" is funded through sources separate from the State funding. But that doesn't mean they arnt pissing the government money away like drunken sailors on leave. Just on approved expenses and capital outlays.

RIP Mike

This is one of my favorite photos of Mike.

I thought it was pretty funny :P No offense was intended.

As for what he originally posted...well let's just say that he referenced one of the most awful universities in the South...and expressed his support for them. Any good tiger couldn't leave that hanging there!!

That is purely a matter of opinion based on no merit. Bama is actually one of the top schools and has ALWAYS been dominant over LSU in Football but that is a conversation for another day.

 

[DAVE_M]

in Football

ONLY in Football.

 

[whbonney26]

ONLY in Football.

LSU has had a few good baseball teams for sure.

 

[Saintsfan6]

His enclosure and care was paid for by private donors
