The Alabama Crimson Tide dominated the LSU Tigers in a 42-13 victory in Baton Rouge this past weekend. The game was attended by Louisiana governor Jeff Landry, who took a light-hearted jab at LSU’s performance by joking that their live tiger mascot was the only tiger who showed up to play. The jab was made in reference to Landry’s controversial decision to bring in a live tiger from Florida to act as the mascot for the game, after LSU’s official mascot, Mike VII, was not allowed to participate due to concerns about his well-being. Animal rights activists protested Landry’s decision outside the stadium.
Overall, it was a tumultuous weekend in Baton Rouge, with the LSU Tigers suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of their biggest rival, and controversy surrounding the use of a live tiger as a mascot. Landry’s comments at a political event called “Politics With a Punch” have sparked discussion and debate among fans and constituents. Despite the humor in his remarks, it remains to be seen how this incident will impact Landry politically in the future. The LSU-Alabama game will certainly be remembered for both the on-field action and the off-field drama surrounding the live tiger controversy.
