08:13 AM ET 09.05 | Washington linebacker Travis Feeney asked a legitimate question Tuesday at practice. "A tiger? Why do we have a tiger here?" Feeney asked. Then he realized -- the Huskies play at LSU, the Tigers, Saturday night in Baton Rouge, La. And in one of the more enduring traditions in college sports, LSU's live tiger mascot is a fixture at home games. ... "The whole emphasis of it was just to get used to it now so when we get down there, no one will be surprised or caught off-guard," said senior center and team captain Drew Schaefer. Husky coach Steve Sarkisian -- who was not available for comment, as is customary on Tuesdays -- apparently thought of the idea a few months ago. The school contacted A Walk on the Wild Side, a wildlife preserve in Canby, Ore.

You need to worry about the quickness, durability, and athleticism of the LSU players instead of a animal in a cage.
