Okay, I'll have to admit, when I first saw the headline for this video, I was picturing LSU's live tiger mascot , Mike VI,mauling some stupid paparazzi that got too close. But that doesn't happen here, although, what does happen is far less bloody, and twice as hilarious. Mike the Tiger, the furry, loveable LSU Tigers mascot tries to jump … [Read more...]

If you're living under a rock, you haven't heard about this great thing that they do over in England. They take a few dozen mascots and race them down a 200 meter race course with a bunch of hurdles in the way. It's so big, Dominos Pizza is even a corporate sponsor... And oh yeah, they bet on it too... like horse races. This year there … [Read more...]
Holy crap, if this doesn't get my heart racing every time. Now I know we talk about live mascots here on YMS and how bad of an idea it is, but Ralphie leading the team onto the field in Colorado is still one of my favorite parts of the game.
