LSU TIGERS
Bo Jackson thinking of LSU fans after passing of Mike VI: 'Tigers fans are tigers fans'
Ever since the announcement of LSU mascot Mike the Tiger’s cancer diagnosis, the SEC community has shown an outpouring of support for the Bayou Bengals.
Auburn legend Bo Jackson paid tribute to Mike VI, who passed earlier this week, noting that the two division rivals share one common bond:

Very classy on the part of Bo. He is one of the great ones.
Bo Knows Class!!
Bo, you always show class. You were the best! Best pure athlete I’ve ever seen. (Although I was thrilled when you left Auburn) Someone I wanted to emulate when playing baseball or football. (The L.A. Raiders version, not the Auburn version!)
As an Auburn fan, my condolences to the LSU family. We lost Tiger (War Eagle VI) a few years ago, so I understand how tough it is for the fans. I wish yall the best of luck finding a new Mike.
