Olivia Dunne shout-out to LSU Tigers’ victory

LSU teams have been called “Tigers” since 1896 as a tribute to the Louisiana military battalions known as the Tigers in the Confederate War. A sprawling 15,000 square feet, Mike the Tiger’s habitat was built in 2005 right in the center of the LSU campus. After prevailing in exciting overtime by a score of 32?31, LSU now has an easy route to the SEC Championship game and the SEC West championship. Upon learning about the win, Olivia Dunne posted an Instagram story of @mikethetiger_lsu post. In the carousel of celebration, the real Tiger was fed meat precisely stenciled with the BAMA? written with its elephant logo.

After Mike VI passed away in 2016, LSU found its replacement mascot in the Siberian-Bengal hybrid. Named, Mike VII, he made his university debut in August 2017. Since then, he has been an enduring symbol of LSU, overseeing the team’s accomplishments, which include winning a College Football Playoff National Title.

The LSU beef explained

Having fought in high-stakes games on a regular basis since Nick Saban moved to Tuscaloosa in 2007, the sixth-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide and tenth LSU Tigers have developed a strong rivalry. Even though Alabama has dominated recently?it has a 10-1 record dating back to the 2011 BCS National Championship Game?the Saturday night game revealed a fascinating story that revolves around the audacious decision taken by Brian Kelly, the first-year head coach of the Tigers. At Tiger Stadium, the bold and successful 2-point convert proved to be the decisive element in the end.

After saying goodbye to Rece Davis and the team, Lane Kiffin sent a brief word about the big game that evening: ?Have fun in Tuscaloosa. They tell me I?m supposed to root for LSU today so, Geaux Tigers.? Obviously, the response from the Tuscaloosa audience was predictably negative. Although at first glance it could appear as though Kiffin is making fun of the Alabama supporters or subtly criticizing his former coach, Nick Saban, there is a good reason why Kiffin would rather see LSU win.
