Well, that completely underwhelming spot is the scientific reminder of one of the most overwhelming moments in college football history. For Virginia Tech fans, whose ninth-ranked Hokies travel into the heart of SEC country to face the second-ranked Tigers on Saturday night, it speaks volumes about the wild world they're entering.

Nice read, good stuff. I like this quote on new Mike.

There's a new tiger in town, a live one. Mike V, the fifth Bengal tiger whose roars have represented the school and wowed football crowds, died recently. The newest one, by all the breathless accounts around campus, will be the best of all.
Mike V was about 300 pounds when he died. The new guy, just a baby, is already 300 and is expected to hit 700. He is stunning to see, as is his habitat.
In 2005, at a cost of nearly $3 million, the school created a mini-jungle right behind the football stadium, complete with lush vegetation, a wading pool and waterfall.

Here are a few "Non-LSU" fans' takes on TS.......even one from a USC player. I hope I can add one from a VT coach, player, or fan after this weekend. Hey, you Bama guys, I even have one on here for you........you wouldn't doubt "The Bear" now would ya. :wink:

After a victory before a national television audience on ESPN in 2001, ESPN sideline reporter Adrian Karsten said,"Death Valley in Baton Rouge is the loudest stadium I've ever been in.There are very few stadiums in America worth a touchdown, but the Bayou Bengals certainly have that advantage in Tiger Stadium"

"It makes a body tingle. These folks go berserk when the band marches on the field. A huge roar is heard for the invocation, for heaven's sake. They not only know the words to the national anthem, they sing them, loudly. And when the Tigers win the toss...there are tears of ecstasy." -- Douglas Looney, Sports Illustrated describing a Saturday night in Death Valley.

"Baton Rouge happens to be the worst place in the world to be a visiting team." -- The Late Paul "Bear" Bryant, head coach of Kentucky, Texas A&M and Alabama.

Miami coach Terry Hoeppener said of Tiger Stadium, "That's an exciting as an environment as you can have. I thought the crowd was a factor for us because we had communication problems we haven't had at Michigan and Ohio State."
