When is a sports movie not a sports movie? When it focuses on the mascot and not the team. LSU's Mike the Tiger is the subject of such a film in the works right now.
The "live action" version of The Lion King officially hit theaters today (7/19), and LSU put together their own video featuring Mike the Tiger and Coach Ed Orgeron to help celebrate.
LSU plans to have a new live tiger mascot on campus by August, replacing one that died in October following months of treatment for a rare form of cancer.
