The LSU Tigers football team is taking the phrase “eye of a tiger” to a whole new level. The team is bringing a live tiger for an appearance at the Tigers’ game against the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday in Baton Rogue, according to a report.

LSU’s tradition of having a Tiger on the field goes back decades, but it ultimately ended in 2015 after Mike VI’s death. The decision to bring the tiger back to the sideline this Saturday was mostly made by the state’s governor, Jeff Landry. However, many people around the University have expressed displeasure on behalf of the animal.

After the Illuminator confirmed that a live tiger will appear in Baton Rouge at the LSU-Alabama game on Saturday, WBRZ reported that the tiger is being supplied by Mitchel Kalmans
