Video Dan GOES OFF On Greg Sankey | Don't @ Me w/ Dan Dakich "Look, a commissioner that's never played, a commissioner that's never coached. If you want to give out the way you go about reporting information, fine. But don't say let's go play. You don't play, you don't coach, you don't do shit."
LSU mascot Mike the Tiger had to be held back by his handlers to keep him from getting into a scrap with a Texas player after the Longhorns shocked the Tigers on Saturday night.
If that sentence isn't the perfect summation of SEC football just meaning more, I'm not sure what is.
The wild scene took place in the end zone in front of the LSU student section after several Texas players ran over to dance in front of students following the Horns' 22-21 win. While a few LSU and Texas players were seen jawing back and forth, it was the mascot who seemed the most ready to throw hands.

LSU’S MIKE THE TIGER STALKS REFEREE WHILE DRESSED AS MICHAEL MYERS, APPEARS TO BE STEERED AWAY BY STAFFER
In the mascot's defense, he was simply standing on the field near the end zone when Texas wide receiver Chris Stewart made his way over to taunt him. Stewart, a freshman who didn't catch a pass in the game, was seen jawing with the mascot, to which Mike reacted by going after him.
The funniest part of the clip, without question, is that Mike didn't have just one staff member looking after his well-being, but six poor souls responsible for keeping him out of trouble. To their credit, they did their job.
As for the contest between the Tigers and Longhorns, it undoubtedly lived up to the hype, but served as a season-ender for LSU as the loss handed the Tigers their fourth of the season, killing their dreams of sneaking into the College Football Playoff.

The quarterback play between Texas' Arch Manning and LSU's Sam Leavitt was suboptimal on Saturday, with each signal caller throwing three interceptions, but Manning did just enough to get the job done with his game-winning touchdown pass coming with just two seconds left in regulation.
