Mike the Tiger’s trainers get extra points for being festive on Christmas Eve.

If you were unaware during the season, LSU’s live mascot is routinely given meals featuring the logo of the Tigers’ upcoming opponent every fall. That’s a tradition that alive and well, meaning we will likely see a UCF logo shaped diner heading into the Fiesta Bowl, but Christmas came early for Mike the Tiger VII on Monday.

LSU’s live mascot got himself a meat shaped Christmas tree for dinner on Christmas Eve this year.
